Looks like a nice build, you might consider an after market cooler for the cpu, but an all around good build, I'm sure you'll be able to play most modern games at 1080p with medium to high settings.

wow, I didn't see that of course that's a better choice, I have a 4gb version in my personal build and it wrecks games.

Your right I didn't realize that I added a r9 380 2gb to the build instead of the r9 270x. Thanks for pointing that out Its actually a couple bucks cheaper than the 270x

Be "future-proof"... Go for a better PSU... something like 850 Watt should be good enough in future if you plan to upgrade your graphic card or for crossfiring :)

Nice build though
