I am looking to upgrade my 4 year old computer that is starting to get behind in today/s games. I am willing to spend around $1000 (see below) and will only be using it for gaming, no rendering or editing. I have a 24" Dell P2414H 1080p monitor, Windows 7, a Corsair K70, and a Corsair M95 I bought a few months ago. I was dead set on buying an Asus GTX 970, but it was $350, $60 over the R9 290.
$360 Intel Core i5-4690K + Gigabyte GA-Z97X Gaming 5
$74 HyperX 8GB DDR3-1600
$290 Sapphire R9 290 4GB
$60 Western Digital Blue 1TB 7200RPM
$95 PNY XLR8 240GB
$15 Asus DVD Burner
$50 NZXT Source 210 Elite
$50 Antec Neo ECO 620C
$30 Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
$1024
This is the build I would build. I am looking for the best bang for the buck. Any changes before I build the computer?
