In the next month or so i'm going to build my first gaming pc, and i'm super stoked! But this is not the final build, by that I mean i'm going to be using the g3258 as a "temporarily cpu" until maxwell launches. And BTW there is no ssd or mouse in the list because I will rip my 120GB evo out of my laptop and with it I will take my trusty logitech g500s.

Cpu: pentium g3258
Gpu: xfx r9 280 dd
Psu: corsair cx 600
Cpu cooler: hyper 212 evo
Hdd WD blue 1TB
Ram: hyperx beast 2x4GB 2133mhz
Case: fractal design arc midi r2
Os: windows 8.1
Monitor: samsung s24d390hl
Keyboard: qpad mk 50 cherry mx red

So what do you think?
If you have a suggestion leave it down below!

You will need a Intel 1150 socket motherboard which accepts hyperx beast 2x4GB 2133mhz RAM which likely means a Z87 or Z97 mobo.

Here is my recommendation. When the Maxwell line launches, you can just drop in on this Z97 motherboard, reattach the cooler, and bam! Your set.

Thanks for the recommendation. I will swap my ram and motherboard, because the store I will buy from don't have the hcg 620. And here in Norway the prize difference between the r9 280 and the 280X is 146$, that was the real reason I went for the r9 280. Can you recommend another psu in the rize bracket of the cx 600?

Hmm. I'm not familiar with that PSU, but I've heard Cooler Master makes decent ones. Other than that, you got everything else you need?
