Looks good except for the PSU. If you want EVGA, then get the GS, GQ, B2,G2, or P2 models. You'll need 550W.

Bearmann :

thx for the advice bro

is this better? : https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Continuous-Crossfire-220-GS-0550-V1/dp/B00UVN20UO/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1465769313&sr=1-1&keywords=evga+gs+550

Bearmann · Jun 12, 2016

Yes, that's a very good model for your build, but this G2 is even better for the same price:

Chris_554 · Jun 13, 2016

im worried something will go wrong in the setup the parts wont work together etc
how can i assure nothing like that's gonna happen

Bearmann · Jun 13, 2016

Check the MSI board under support for the Qualified Vendor List of tested RAM. YOu can also see if Corsair has tested that RAM with that MB. Also put up your build at pcpartpicker which will check for incompatibilities.

Chris_554 · Jun 13, 2016

Bearmann :

ok so thats good : http://pcpartpicker.com/list/GxzHxY tell me info about the fans please im a noob at building pc's

Bearmann · Jun 13, 2016

Your case comes with 4 fans. You won't need any additional.

Chris_554 · Jun 13, 2016

Bearmann :

ok so you think thats it thx for all that help btw!?

Bearmann · Jun 13, 2016

Whoops! That Asus E3 PRO GAMING V5 is for a Xeon CPU, though you could use it. I knew that I had not heard of that MB. You switched from the MSI MB without mentioning it. I would get one of these instead:

Bearmann · Jun 13, 2016

The Gaming 6 is excellent.

Chris_554 · Jun 14, 2016

i just think it might be better to get 750 psu cuz if i get better specs after an year or two idk and yea i think thats it dud

Chris_554 · Jun 14, 2016

OK THIS IS FINAL FINAL WHAT YOU THINK?

Bearmann · Jun 14, 2016

I'm not sure I follow since the GPU's are tending to have greater efficiency with each new update. I guess if they make a GTX 1090 though, you won't have enough power. For 1080 SLI, you'll need 750W. Here are some good choices with preference in order of price:

Chris_554 · Jun 15, 2016

Bearmann :

alright i will get 850 then should be enough for another year or two

Chris_554 · Jun 15, 2016

ok thats good then? http://pcpartpicker.com/list/fRYt6X

i will also use this card instead of the asus : https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-GV-N1080G1-GAMING-8GD-Graphics/dp/B01GJEE9BG/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1465976626&sr=1-5&keywords=gtx+1080

This is a violent shoebox :3

Chris_554 · Jun 15, 2016

no thx i will focus on the one above

-HH- · Jun 15, 2016

well here's a couple things to note which you may want to take; cheaper mobo, better SSD, cheaper RAM and a cheaper power supply. What do you specifically want your computer for as maybe I can configure something better...?

Chris_554 · Jun 15, 2016

well money is not a problem i need a good pc with 1080 for atleast 3-4 years to follow where i can change the videocard n stuff
i like the case i chose im just wondering bout the videocard and the ssd/psu

-HH- · Jun 15, 2016

How does this appeal to you? You can keep your original case but as again I prefer this case within the build but the Noctis would work fine.
