Advice needed on my first build

[Alex-Dean]

Hey this is my first build, I've already completed the list. And would like some advice on what performance i can expect etc. And wich components are good and wich aren't and where i can possibly shave some cost. I'm planning yellow and black

Also i live in South Africa and this influenced some of my choices i already own the Air 540 and the 1tb
Thanks!

I'm not sure if it is sold in South Africa, but in the US we have an R9 290 at 235 dollars, which is more powerful than a 380. Not sure there though.

Everything else looks good, nice theme!

I've done some more research and i can get an R9 290 for 20$ extra but it's a Power Color not a brand I'm familiar with also it's an open box but it does come with a 2 year warranty from the retail ship

The Power color is the one I own. As long as you don't over clock, it's nice. I would check what the warranty covers, and if you are hapoy, go for it. If you are playing 1080p, the 380 is fine. The 290 just has more power and will play games at things like 1440p

You would have to research, but I heard you can even repaint the face plate. So you could grab some yellow and black paint and customize it!
