So I've been Saving up to build my first gaming pc and I need help with some components. So I already got down what Cpu and Gpu I'll be getting a Fx-8350 and dual Asus 760s is sli but I still need help getting a good motherboard and Ram since their are so much to choose from. All the other parts like Psu,Case,memory, fans etc... ps. Bottlenecks or more efficient parts pointed out will be Very appreciated.
 
An FX-8350 will bottleneck those GPUs unless you overclock it. What is your budget? I'll give you a build.

Try this for a build including everything under USD $1K:

That build does seem a little more expensive i was looking for more of a 1 tb and ssd but I'll definitely use that Cpu and ram can you give me a more 700 to 800 build and I really prefer dual 760s in sli. No need for a wireless network since I'll be using ethernet cable, a better momotherboard wold be apreciated too
 


Dual GTX 760s are not even price efficient. Dual R9 280s would be better.
 
Dual GTX 760s would cost half your entire rig which is a very imbalanced build. Your CPU would bottleneck those cards. Here are dual R9 280s.

Excuse me?
 
2 R9 280 seems good but the problem over hear about with most and gpus would be they get hotter faster and more powere consumption but 1 r9 90 does seem better more efficient
 
Kohwali's build advice seems pretty sound...

Not a fanboy for Intel here, been an AMD desktop user/builder from 1997 up until a complete overhaul about a month ago. The FX/AM3+ simply cannot compete with the i5/Z97, if you are looking at a solid gaming option for your money. You can research for yourself, benchmarks and real-world performance differentials across the web for this info.

Concerning the GTX 760, it is a decent GPU for 1080p. I owned it myself, but SLI'ing two, even at the lowered price will cost you over $400. I would not recommend buying for SLI, unless:

1- you already own one
2- plan on gaming over 1080p resolution/multiple monitors, in which case you might require the 4GB edition(s)

 
So go with this which also has red and black theme:
