Hello guys, I made a build for mostly playing World of Warcraft and cs go at 1080p and just for regular use of the computer. I want to max out all games with no problems and possibly buy a 144hz 1080p monitor in the near future.

Here is the thing though, I want all recommendations to be Amazon Prime only and I only choose that psw because I prefer it to be gold and i heard psw are the only thing that is actually future proof.

Thanks!

You can SLI with this build if you want.

You can add an SSD if you'd like.

80+ Gold is only a measure of how efficient the power supply is from the wall outlet to the pc, meaning how much electricity it uses. it is not a measure of how reliable the unit is, necessarily. Seasonic makes very reliable units.

the SSD will have a huge impact on your load times and general use, much more of an impact than a 4690K over a 4590

ugh.. if you must suffer with the prices of only one retailer, cut back to a 4460 and XFX units are also high quality

You can also return stuff easily back to Newegg. Newegg's a great site.

having an SSD is one of those things that you don't realize you need it until you actually experience having one. it significantly increases your OS response, file I/O, application load times, etc. you will notice a huge difference with "regular use of the computer."
