I am going to be buying this PC build soon and I think it's a great build. So excited! Anything that is missing on that I already have.

Can you go for the gtx 970?
Also, why not a stronger Cpu?

Pr3di :

Nah I don't want the 970 and because I can't afford it.

So Oc CPU, Oc cpu cooler and bad motherboard. Makes no sense.

Bhavneet Pannu :

Well I am sorry that I don't know what I am doing. I just need a gaming pc.

Bhavneet Pannu :

And instead of complaing, you could try to help me out.

What about this?

I would go for this, but it`s your choice.
Better CPU with the CM 212 EVO cooler.

Pr3di :

A crappy budget MSI board is better? Are you just trying to give him something below his budget or trying to help him? I have bad experiences with MSI boards. I'd rather get Gigabyte than a MSI board. Other than that this is somewhat of a solid build.

Any suggestions for a similarly priced board then?
