So it's my first time building a PC. I have the parts selected which I have here: 

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/4PG8d6

 

I plan to add an rx 470 GPU once it comes out. Being that this is my first build, can you guys give me some suggestions on how I could save money on this build without too much effect on the performance, or if this PC will even perform well at all. Also, PC Part Picker said, " Some Intel B85 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Haswell Refresh CPUs ". Is this something I should worry about? I'm looking to build a PC that can run games like GTA V and DayZ. Sorry, I am new to this.

what's your budget? what resolution are you gaming on? do you need a OS? do you need a monitor? do you need a keyboard and mouse?

 

and the BIOS update just means if you get a older board (usally only older ones) youll need a CPU that works on the BIOS to update it so your CPU you are buying needs, but usally you dont have to worry about that.

Your part choices are pretty good, but I'd like to know a few things.

What's your budget?

What resolution are you aiming to work/game at?

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

I wasn't wrong. It's extremely rare that I am. I provided sources as well. Different devs can disagree. Further, we now have confirmed discrepancy from Twitter about he use of the pre-release 1080 driver in AMD's demo despite the release 1080 driver having been out a week prior.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.

My budget is from $500-$700. I'm gaming on a 1080p monitor. I'm going to get a Windows 10 Product Key for $20 and I already have a keyboard and mouse.

My budget is around $500-$700. I want to get the most I can get for that price range. I am going to game on a 1080p monitor and hope to be able to run most games at 50+ FPS.

Got it.

And if you can wait till June 29th for the GPU, switch the R9 390 for an RX 480.
