Your motherboard seems too high-end.
If you're going for 1600 MHz, why go for such an expensive motherboard?

Also, if you're going for 16GB memory max, go for 4x4GB(2 now, 2 later on). Dual channel will be enabled, allowing for higher speed.

varun_02 · Jan 21, 2014

Get two sticks of 4gb each instead of a single stick of 8gb if you want to take advantage of dual memory.
And why 1000watt.
DO you intend to sli in future?

NoOneLt · Jan 21, 2014

RAM - use 2x8GB (16GB not 8 it is cheap, ant it wouldn't harm) because it should perform better in dual-channel mode.
Storage - look at Samsung SSDs
Power Supply: If You are not going to SLI/Cross fire You don'n need 1000W
VIDEO - i would really choose NVidia at the moment.

varun_02 · Jan 21, 2014

Go with a samsung 840 series ssd.

cst1992 · Jan 21, 2014

I agree. a 780Ti is cheaper and faster.

Also, I agree with the others. A RM750 should be enough.
It's $70 cheaper.

ty guys for the quick answers

so i mainly want to use this as a gaming pc witch changes do i have to take than ?

RAM - use 2x8GB because it should perform better in dual-channel mode.
Storage - look at Samsung SSDs 840series
Power Supply: If You are not going to SLI/Cross fire You don'n need 1000W pick 750W
VIDEO - i would really choose NVidia at the moment. 780 not ti will be enough, buy Ti if You can afford. Also it depends what resolutions You want to play on? What monitor You will have?

huilun02 · Jan 21, 2014

Its actually Crossfire for AMD cards like that R9 290X.

Like varun said, get two sticks of 4gb instead of one 8gb. When you use ram in pairs you benefit from dual channel.

A 1000W PSU can easily run two overclocked R9 290X. If you are only getting one of it and won't be adding another, all you need is a good 650W.

NoOneLt :

want to use Dell UltraSharp U2412M 24-Inch Screen LED-lit Monitor

huilun02 · Jan 21, 2014

Ok that's a 60Hz 1200p IPS monitor. The R9 290X is overkill for that resolution. A single R9 290 (non X) is enough to max games at that resolution.

The 1000W PSU would be a waste of money.

lemonpol · Jan 21, 2014

so will this one be ok for ram ?
Kingston KHX16C10B1RK2/16X

huilun02 · Jan 21, 2014

I think you are referring to this 16GB kit of ram
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104340

Yes it will work just fine.

lemonpol · Jan 21, 2014

huilun02 :

lemonpol · Jan 21, 2014

will i with the parts above be able to play for instance battelfield 4 on high resolution or will i have to still change stuff ?

varun_02 · Jan 21, 2014

Its overkill and ya you can play at ultra.

huilun02 · Jan 21, 2014

It's more than enough to max the game and still get over 60fps.

Although I'm not so sure about a Fractal Design PSU. Get one from Corsair or Seasonic if you can. Their PSU are arguably the most reliable.

Pr3di · Jan 21, 2014

You will play just great on ultra, no worries there.
Check for an SSD from Samsung, they have some good ones.
The motherboard could be a cheaper moddel, I don`t think you will use all it has to offer, so it`s a waste of money.
Also, you chould check for a Silver/Gold Certfied PSU (I have a Silverstone fully modular 750W Silver certified).

lemonpol · Jan 21, 2014
