Hello. I'am gonna buy a new gaming build and I wanna know what you guys think before I buy. I can start telling that I got my own little reasons for buying 16gb ram and not 8. Please do not comment "Why do you wanna buy 16gb ram" etc. Hate these comments.

Components:
COOLERMASTER Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
KINGSTON DDR3 HyperX Red 1600MHz 16GB 2 x 8GB
SEAGATE Barracuda® 2TB
SAMSUNG SSD 840 EVO 250GB
MICROSOFT Windows 8.1
CORSAIR Obsidian 750D
2x SAPPHIRE Radeon R9 280X 3GB
INTEL Intel® Core i5-4670K
CORSAIR AX 860 PSU
ASUS Z87-K, Socket-1150 ATX

So what do you guys think? Is there anything I should change?

Thank you. I got a few questions more. I have been looking on which keyboard I should buy. I think that Corsair k70 is a good choice? Would you recommend me another keyboard? For the headset I will wait for Steelseries siberia Elite. And on the gaming mouse I have looked on logitech g500. But whats the difference between Sapphire radeon r9 280x OC dual-X and vapor X. Is the only difference boost clock?

I'd look again at the motherboard, you could run into issues with crossfire because the second slot will run at 4x. You should look at a mobo that will let you run both cards at 8x/8x. For the same price range you can look at the ASRock Z87 Extreme3

What about this motherboard? I can really not go anything higher then this. http://www.supersmart.no/PartDetail.aspx?q=p:10510128
I can not afford anything more expensive then a motherboard for 1050 nok. Can you take a look for me and find a good motherboard? http://www.supersmart.no/SearchResult.aspx?q=kw:hovedko...

From that site, I'd choose this one:

This will run your crossfire setup with both cards at x8 so it will not run into the issues I mentioned earlier.


Alright, but then I can't afford hyper 212 evo. I have to buy Hyper TX3 instead? Is there much difference?

I'm not understanding here, you're building a very high end machine here, are those 50 nok ( US$8 ) really a difference?

That said, the 212 evo is better, but that does not mean that the TX3 is bad.

My two cents...
