Computer Build Advice

[iaan1547]

Hey Guys,

 

New to the forum but i am building my first computer and have done countless hours of research on parts but i'd love some feedback on parts choices and any suggestions you guys might have.

I am mostly going to be using it for gaming, productivity, multitasking and hopefully as some point vide editing but thats not a for sure thing yet (which is why i didn't pick the i7). Also It isn't on the list but i will be using a Samsung 850 Evo 500gb ssd as my drive. 

 

Here is the PC Part Picker link for my build:

How long could you hold this off, as it is believed NVIDIA may be announcing the Pascal cards on Friday.

That's a pretty expensive main board.
I can vouch for the mouse. It's a good choice. 
Here is a mechincal keyboard for not more:

He probably can't reach that high of a budget. But @OP could you tell us the budget?

 

 

*Changed the 970 to an R9 390 because it's better performance for the same cost.

I am not planning on starting this until about mid-end of June. Any idea of when they will be available? 

[iaan1547]

Id like to stay under $1700

We won't know an exact date until they announce it but the expected launch time is between June or July.

Even if he can't get a Pascal card by getting a cheaper mobo, then at least the price on current cards will drop (at a guess).
