I know gtx 760 are going a little cheaper, and for the PSU i would get an xfx psu, Better quality

Weak Gpu and PSu, but for 480 not bad, i would buy a gtx 750ti to throw in the computer to replace that gpu. 750ti's are about 120$ so not that bad

True but it really depends if OC is an option to the op. If not than h97 is a good choice with a non-k version of i5

And about the Mobo's the gaming series is really only paying for the name, its not smart to go with a crazy expensive mobo. Yes it has some features but i doubt anyone really uses them. You want a reliable mobo at a good price. The one i suggested has good reviews and is sli compat.

It is always better to run one single Powerful GPU rather than 2 weaker ones. Alot of games are not configured to run 2 GPU's plus its just less hassle. With the ram 8gb is what you need i thought i added that but i guess i didnt. If you really want a good computer buy things that are future...

Its a little overbudget but this is a powerful build. This will last you years PCPartPicker part list: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/fDNpNG Price breakdown by merchant: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/fDNpNG/by_merchant/ CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor (£167.50 @ Amazon UK)...

You can use the GPU with the Mobo, but i don't believe your Mobo supports SLI or crossfire.

I would say single 980. Some games do not recognize and support dual gpu. And in the future if you want you can buy another 980.

The fx 6300 is a strong cpu especially with an R9 280. I personally like nvidia cards. But either way it's strong.

What games are you going to be playing. If skyrim the intels are your best bet. If other modern games you can go with an fx-6300 CPU Fx http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113286&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=...

Skyrim, Metro it should run flawlessly. Dayz is poorly optimized so dont expect more than 35 fps in town. And crysis 3 i have no clue

Another good motherboard that i believe is in the same range as the one you chose is the MSI gaming 9. My friend has it and i helped him build his computer and its a good solid build. He has the i7 4790k in it and it is amazing

Well Skyrim runs better on i3's (or any intel) than they do on AMD chips (which are best for budget builds)

Like tiny Voices says go with XFX, Seasonic, Or Antec
