Youre spending a lot on that CPU cooler if you ask me....maybe get a cheaper one and get a better GPU?

Looks good, you're spending an lot on the case though, I would get a cheaper one and try to fit an SSD.

Save your money, get yourself a 7950 instead. Goes to 3GB and 384-bit memory bandwidth. Also, where's your CPU & PSU?

^Yes, drop the cooler, it should get you (or very close to) a 7950.

 

You can always buy one later down the line if you feel the need.

It seems to be pretty good, could you push for a 7870 XT or 7950? Also change the cooler for Hyper 212 EVO, you can't OC on 970 chipset anyway and surely not on a low end model.

DOPE! I'm an idiot, didn't see that even after re-reading it twice. I'm a bit of a noob. :)

Windows really? Why not try the amazing goodness that is Linux, so many distros there is one for everyone

i9 25.6 GHz with NeuronThreading, 256gb 6000 MHz RAM, GTX 990 OC 3024MHz 12gb, Skeletal X99 motherboard, 1 Petabyte SSD, Fractal Design Humaniod R1 Case, Herbivore 10,000W PSU, Noctua NF16 LP Derma Cooler.

Probably the only Star Citizen player who is planning on a career in Journalism instead of piracy, mining, trading, exploration, military, station management, etc.

Generation 0: The first time you see this add 1 to the number and copy it into your sig. Consider it a social experiment.

Prices are freaking high down here in Singapore. Let me check and post another photo of the new set up. :)

So if I would OC I should get a 990board?

Yes, I'd suggest Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 and Asus M5A99FX EVO/PRO R2.0.
