Hey guys,

So I'm ready to buy a new gaming PC and have already come up with my build. I will be gaming at 1080p on a single monitor. I already have a Fractal Design R4 case as well as monitor/ other accessories which is why they are not on here. What is on the list is what I need. I am asking for help to see if there are any better combinations or any possible hitches with my current build. I am also aware of the Nvidia 900 cards coming out in 2 weeks, would there be any point in waiting besides a possible price drop on the 780? Budget is best price possible without sacrificing performance.

Thank you!

Consider the Xigmatek Dark Knight 2 cooler for abit more,it is quiter,and cools better.
Your could probably save on the ram and PSU but otherwise all good.

Ok I'll check it out. Would the money saved on RAM and PSU be worth it?

Sure,basically you are paying extra for the vengeance pro because they are pretty and the PSU is abit much unless you just want to futureproof or will add a second card later. I'd probably use the savings to get a 780Ti instead of the current 780 you have in your build.

Yeah basically was future proofing with the PSU incase I wanted to SLI in the future. Still undecided on that...as far as the RAM goes anything in particular you recommend?
