Starting a Fresh Build After I sold my old one and now i have a job!

[tezgaming]

so guys I have a summer job that makes decent money and I want to start a fresh build which can play all the latest AAA Tittiles 

So i decided to place a build together on Canadian Part Picker site btw my fresh start budget is $1000-$1200 so Just a question

Since RX 480 is out should i get that or 970 and heres my build any suggestions and changes? http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/JJ4kTH

Funny? How the R9 390 Beats both of those cards

Z170 motherboard for a non-k cpu? That doesn't make much sense... An ssd is a must for a system of this budget.

The cpu is not overclockable so the H series of intel chipsets is perfect for your cpu

Well, i would wait to see what the AIB (add in board) cards can do untill i decide on GPU. Put together the rest of the system first especially with PCI-E specs RX 480 drama

Nvm 390. My mistake. But comparing 390 to  970 is like 980 to 380

This is what I would do. I added SSD, changed motherboard, changed PSU, changed RAM. If you do AMD R9 290/R9 390 MAKE SURE IT IS NOT REFRENCE DESIGN!!! This is cheapest non-reference and its pretty damn good.

Yeah, I honestly don't see too much of a point if your not overclocking your motherboard doesn't have to be an Asus ROG Maximus or something of the like. This will be very good for this usage scenario.

He should go with a ATX board if he wants to do Crossfire in future

http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/Lthr7h This would make more sense for performance and you can overclock. It also sticks to your build very well with the motherboard and ram I have chosen for you 

If you dont like it or the price is too much just get your original build but change the motherboard for a HSeries chipset due to the motherboard you have picked out being for a K series cpu

It also must support crossfire, not all ATX boards do...
