I'm building new PC for gaming and coding, which can be upgraded to a powerful rig with custom water cooling loop in the future.
There're some conditions here
1. I'm in Thailand, which is hot like hell, and I'm using this rig without A/C for some reason. Will this be able to tolerate mere 40 celsius (104 F) in midday?
2. Thailand is full of dust in an open room. If you think this case is too expensive, please recommend the case that has a really good filter.
3. I plan to upgrade in the next 1.5-2 years
4. I can't pay more than this.

@Seadusc that build should be fine. My only recommendation ould be to swap out the GTX 970 for an R9 390 as it costs the same amount, yet is much more powerful (i am however concerned about its higher heat output in your climate). The best 390 models (by memory) are MSI Gaming, Sapphire Nitro (has the best track record) and XFX Double Dissipation

 

To combat the heat just make sure you get plenty of airflow through your computer, especially if you get the 390. Maybe purchase a few extra case fans for that.

I don't know a ton about computer hardware because I just started getting into it but the computer looks amazing to me. I'm sure it would run flawless but there is almost always better options out there. I think the computer would run fine but with it being 104 F that's kinda crazy, you might want to get more cooling in your pc to be safe but also so it doesn't heat up your room more lol. Tbh tho this computer really will be fine, don't worry to much about having a dusty room and noticing you said this is your budget I would not downgrade anything just to upgrade the cooling. 

I don't know shit but i'm here anyways.

The heat won't be an issue if he buys the Sapphire model. It runs cooler than some 970s.

@Citadelen @g4m3cr34tor I pick Zotac because it has 5 years warranty so it can be sold a bit easier in the future when I upgrade graphic cards (+ sometimes Zotac give 50% discount). Is using R9 390 make the performance better so much?

The 970 will long have outlived its self by then, and seeing how DX12 has been going for Nvidia, the gap between it and the 390 will grow.

Basically you have slightly faster DX11 performance and much faster DX12 performance with a 390.
