What do you guys think about it ? i need pro tips please :p im thinking to overcloak since i got 6600k and ddr4 and the G1 gaming too but it will be my first time overcloaking tho . so i dont know for the motherboard and im thinking to go to a gtx 980 ti much later so i dont know if this mobo will be good for it or i otherwise i will just buy another one once that time come.

so can you guys tell me if all of that is compatible? IF my Power Supply is enought for this rig ? enought air flow ?
Worthed ?Do you know some other item that can be better and cheaper etc ?

Imma most of the time Gaming, surfing internet and maybe a bit of basic Photoshop

the faster the replies will be appreciated tho cause some items are in save at this moment

A Big thank you in advance

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($40.25 @ Vuugo)

The SuperNOVA B2 750W is priced really well after rebate. It's one of the higher wattage, quality units that are pretty affordable in Canada. You're looking more like $100 CAD for the SuperNOVA GS ~550W although a marginally better PSU - the B2 is still quality, and one of the cheaper ones available.

Where about in Canada are you? if you're West and near Winnepeg/Calgary/Edmonton/Vancouver, then you can check out MemoryExpress (you can check them out online anyway), they 'price beat' any Canadian retailer or etailer too (only by 10% of the difference, but on a budget, that certainly helps).

The R9 390 is very much comparable with the 970 - graphic support was lacking for a while, but AMD have fixed that. The increased VRAM will allow you higher resolutions a bit better too.

The case you picked is ok. Most cases from reputable manufacturers will work just fine - the only reason I had to change out the case is because the 390 wouldn't fit in the N21.
