$1300 pc build, help/adjustments

[Aiden_4]

I have drafted a rough build for around $1300 for a pc build, the pc will only be used for gaming, i would like it to run as many games on ultra like fallout skyrim gta etc
if there is any adjustments or parts that arent compatible with each other or any improvements that will greatly affect it for another $100 i would appreciate the help

What is the currency? The link is in pounds but you are telling us stuff in dollars.

What is your budget in your own currency?

 

[Aiden_4]

hi sorry didnt realise and thought that people used dollars on here, the budget is 950 max in pounds

i have done a little more research and found that i already have a case as a gift from a friend
like i said and sort of upgrades for a little more on this build would be greatly appreciated

Looks a solid build, but change the PSU, try an XFX one

Maybe with rest of budget upgrade graphics card to the FTW edition, in benchmarks I have read it reaches near 980 level in quite a few games.

this one?

Yep, you can get ftw+ edition too which comes with a backplate, but the 970 FTW gets pretty good benchmark scores from the ones I have read.

Pick up a 1000W power supply if you plan to Crossfire. Also make sure your case can fit that card.

A 1KW PSU is overkill for even dual R9-390s. I certainly wouldn't advise against it because after putting parts into PC Part Picker, the estimated average power draw is 765W. So you could get by with 850W but to be on the safe side after overclocking yeah 900W or higher is recommended.

I would do something like this:

It is not overkill if you factor in CPU or even GPU overclocking. With 850W, you will kind of be breathing in the ceiling with dual 390's.
