Hey guys I need some help with this build. I started off researching about all the gaming components, that I need to make a gaming computer, and which one I need to spend most out of for a max performance gaming pc. Pretty that will play any games at ultra or extreme settings for about 3-4 years to come. Oh and also I would like to record while i'm gaming and also I like to keep it low to as 1000$-1100$. No more then that.

Here are my Parts: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ygrwmG

I do not want to change my cpu and graphics card because I know for sure they will be in handy for the future games, but if it's necessary that will be fine.

The rest can be changed, I feel like I need to spend a lot of money for a psu because if you cheap out on them it can fry your components or not work at all. The case, motherboard, and rams are one of the things I do not know to change or to keep it the same.

If you guys can help me I would appreciate it very much thanks guys!

Similar price, some higher quality components (Mobo), less money wasted on PSU and RAM (makes no difference), comes with a big SSD but has the non X GPU. You can easily overclock the R9 290 to be as good as the 290x and with that saved money you get the SSD.

Consider this build. Ignore the previous one. This one has better PSU in it:

Thanks guys looks good also is it possible to get a psu 80+ gold certified around 50-80$. I need to save money I don't want to actually spend about 450 Watts with the bronze 80+ certified around 400-420 Watts would be great. I hope I'm saying this right if not can someone explain.
