I planing on getting a used FullHD monitor from a friend of mine.

I already have a windows 7 license.

 

I look forward for any advice you guys can give me, and I thank you in advance for your time.

The SSD is crappy and the PSU isn't up to par in quality to be running a GTX 980. I recommend the A-data SP550 for the SSD and any SeaSonic or XFX PSU instead.

 

Also wait for the AIB models of the GTX 1070, should be launching at the price of $379.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

I went for "brand" in the ssd. Thanks for the advice looks great and is cheaper.

I can't quite wait, I'll be traveling soon and I want to have the PC ready before that.
