Hello! I'm planning on building a pc around mid October. I'm trying to do as much research now as possible in the mean time. I have a rough build more or less but I want to save as much as possible. an sli/crossfire build might be something I pursue in the future but really looking at the gtx 970 or r9 390 for single card solutions - leaning more towards the r9. The i5 4690 is definitely something I want in the build. This is the build I came up with after doing some homework for the past six weeks: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DgCWsY
Also trying to get as much market insight, seeing as prices have been fluctuating a lot - will this build drop in price substantially with new CPUs, gpus, and windows 10 coming out shortly?
My needs out of this: gaming rig that will last at least 5 years on modern games, also looking to overclock - never done it before but I plan to dabble in it, use dual gpu maybe in the future (I know psu will need an upgrade especially with Radeon card). Really want to shave a lot of the price off as well.
Any insight on cooling will also be greatly appreciated. Lastly any opinions about the case and whether or not it is beginner friendly?
So gents, opinions? Thanks in advance.
