all good?

[Megah3rtz]

I'm fairly certain this is alright but I'd like to know what other people think anyway. playing at 1080p60fps blah blah.

 

Everything highlighted is what I plan on buying, everything else is already bought. I'm considering a new PSU but not if I don't have to.

that would push it over 800$ total. (including tax.)

I think it looks nice. Did not notice you already have the psu. Me blind sorry.

 

Though do you really want to spend extra on MSI?

You don't have a monitor in your build.

If you included your monitor you would also include peripherals.

I'd replace the PSU if its really bad, but otherwise I'll hold onto it.

 

I think the only brand I won't buy is ECS or asrock, but otherwise I don't have any bias towards brands. I just thought the MSI card would look nice.

I have a benQ GW2255, a razer deathadder 2013, and a generic OCZ USB keyboard. this is for the tower only, I didn't think to include peripherals.

IMO your worst component by far is that monitor, however people can get used to laptop screens so you probably don't need to replace it.

if I were to ditch the MSI what would be cheaper?

The MSI has surperior cooling and software to cheaper ones, so it shouldn't be ditched

Everything looks great. However, I purchased a 4690k off of eBay Canada less than a year ago for $200 by bidding. So I think you could really save money there if you went that route. 

 

P.s. that cpu overclocked to 4.5ghz with ddr3 2400 cl10 ram and z97 mobo and fast SSD is hella fast. Just speaking from experience. I also have a r9 290 and crush 1080p. So the Rx 480 should be great too

Ditch the case please get a s340 razer or black or white or whatever
