Hey all, I'm looking to build a new PC to upgrade from a 4yr old computer. I already have a rough estimation of what parts i'll be getting, but I'm not sure if I could do better by going with other brands of the parts.

Proposed build:

Gskills ripjaws 1600mhz 2x4gb kit
Plextor m5p 128gb

Gigabyte R9 280X

Fractal design r4
