Hey there, I'm planning to start this build around late November and I'll be mostly using it for gaming and everyday use. Also, I'm not in the US nor am I anywhere near it, but after converting the price from here to dollars, the budget should be equal to or less than $1500. I plan to get a ASUS VX239H monitor to accompany the rig. I do plan to overclock the CPU btw. So, what do u guys think about the setup and any opinions ??? Thanks.

Well i chose that MOBO because it goes well with my black and red theme(forgot to mention that earlier) and it's also great for overlocking. Ermm when u say $25 less, is it still 1TB ??? CPU cooler I could I guess but I don't think you'll get btr performance and less notice for $50 less.
I don't think GTX 980 will benefit me that much because I'll be using 1920x1080 display by itself.

Hey, first question that comes to mind is why are you buying a WiFi card? Second is, I would spend a little less on the motherboard, and spend more on a better PSU, get an 80+ gold or above if you plan to OC. Also, I'd swap our the asus gtx 970 for either the gigabyte g1 or msi twin frozr, my preference would be the g1. Lastly, with those specs you wouldnt need to OC right away to achieve high performance, with that said you can opt for a cheaper CPU cooler (hyper 212 evo) and spend more on the case to get a full tower, so when you do wana OC in a years time or so, you can fit a large radiator.

I'm getting a wifi card because the MOBO doesn't come with one and I need to connect wirelessly at home, anyways my internet speed is at max 20mbps. Oh okay, can u recommend any MOBO's that'll fit with the red/black theme ?? Well the place I'm buying it from only have from asus, lead tek and gain ward, I think asus is the best from that. I probably won't be getting a full tower because itll be used as the home pc and my dad doesn't want a full tower. And I won't OC it until it gets very hot, moderately only. I'll take ur advice and not overclock it yet, see how it performs first.
