Is this gaming rig compatible? ready to order

Solution
970 is faster than 290 and is nearly equal to 290x. So even if u r gonna play on bigger resolutions like 1200p and 1440p, u'l b absolutely fine with that build.
But if u can invest jst a little higher then go with 290x. I wont tell u to go with 980, coz even if its a beast, its still costly.
But remember 970 requires way too less watts than 290x. So if u r gonna go with it, it'l require min. 850-950watts psu. Or u can go with amd r9 300 series gpu, which will launch shortly in may b a couple of months.

About ram, the newer and upcoming games will be very hungry games, so u might need more than 8gigs in future. U can always add more ram as u need in future. But this is not necessary, coz the games will depend always on the vram of gpu...

Okay thank you so much just wanted to double check everything before i order.
Do I need a higher resolution monitor to run at 1440p?
Also is it a significant difference?

Finally, u hv got a nice build. U can go with 290x instead of 970, choice is urs. And yeah, every part is copatible with each other.

Gud luck...

1st of all Thanx for selecting my answer.

Yea... If u wanna go with the 1440p resolution then u will need to buy a new monitor seperately. Which will cost another 250 USD (not sure bout cost, but definiately wil cost around 250 or may b even more). It will also decrease the raw power of d gpu. It wont cause any prob now. But may be it'l in a year or 2.
So i suggest stick with 1080p if u dnt wanna buy another parts in next 3-4 years.
But if u can upgrade gpu in next 1 or 2 years then go with 1440p. U wont regret it either.

Gud luck building ur rig...
