Overclocking: MAYBE I LIKE THE IDEA OF OC BEING A LIL BIT FUTUREPROOF

SLI or Crossfire: Yes My brother has a r9 270x, So we could switCH VCD for a PC WAR!

Additional Comments: IF YOU CAN ADD A GOOD GAMER MOUSE, IT WILL HELP, ALSO FOR VCD I LIKE THE SAPPHIRE BF4 EDITION

Not sure what color you wanted but I did Red because of the AMD GPU, also feel free to ask questions or change anything. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3Cf4f
This case is on the cheap side so that would be something I'd change.
Hope this helped!

Well shit. Oops, my bad. Had a Asrock one selected then remembered only MSI,GIGABYTE, or ASUS, then when I changed it I forgot about the OC. What do you think of the build other then that? Also did you say you could get the R9 270x from your Brother? If so it in Crossfire is faster then a R9 290x so that would be a great idea. But if you want the PC to last for a while I'd go 4gb of Vram. Also it is no guarantee that the PC will play games for 4 years its impossible to know what new technology's will come out.
