I am getting ready to purchase the components to my first budget build and would like to get everyone's opinions.
The goal for this build is to have a good system that will last me for a good amount of time. I plan to crossfire the r9 270 in a year or 2 when it starts to get more outdated. I don't plan on overclocking the CPU right away. I will likely do this after I can get some better cooling etc(wife is holding me to a tight budget).
Without adding too much additional cost what do you guys think? Anything that you would change? Notice anything that won't work or could cause problems? Will the cooling options that are provided be fine from the case/cpu?
