Your PSU will barely break a sweat even if you overclocked your system to the absolute max, and your CPU will definitely not bottleneck your graphics card. However, you should definitely consider an R9 390 instead of the GTX 970 as it will offer slightly better performance and more than double the VRAM. You should also get an SSD as it will improve the responiveness of your system in day to day tasks quite dramatically.

I would go for a locked cpu, and a cheaper mobo and spend more money on the gpu, something like a 980/980 ti/fury/x

That GPU is like $500 more..

Going cheaper on the processor/mobo will free up $100 and you put that $100 towards the gpu and you got yourself a 980..

Whats your budget for a build, i should be able to put more preformance

USD or CAD? $1500 is enough to get a 980ti into a build but if it's CAD then...not possible without sacfising everything else

Ah, well seeing your budget being $1600 and the build around $1400 shipping will be hell I presume?

dont buy a normal windows license. its a waste of money. if you dont have any old laptop or anything than buy a cheap windows tablet and put linux on it. you can get these for as little as 50€ and its legal.

Yes. And also if you listen to the news, our currency is plummeting. And also, www.wootware.co.za has lots of sales!

One last question, out of these coolers: http://www.wootware.co.za/catalogsearch/result/?cat=&q=cpu+cooler

Which one should I get? Please don't say water cooling.

Thanks!

for which build, the one i made or the one you made?

If it has the K, go for the PH-TC

If it isn't the K version go for any cheap one like the 212 evo

That and if it's not a K version and if you don't mind some noise then the stock cooler is sufficent and most importantly, It's free!

Oh.. If you look in the product description (just scroll down a bit) they repeat 1150..

Must be a typo there.
