I am a amateur at building a PC and would like to know what would go well with MSI 970 Gaming Motherboard. One of my friend has gifted me this motherboard on my birthday. My sincere thanks to the people who help me.

Additional details -

Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: this month (during holiday season)

Budget Range: 800-1000 USD

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming (mostly FPS like Call of Duty and Battlefield etc), watching movies (if possible casting movies on my TV - not a priority though), music and casual Internet browsing.

Are you buying a monitor: Yes, I will need to buy one.

Do you need to buy OS: No. I have a retail copy of Windows 10 Pro with me.

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Preferably Amazon.in as I reside in India or Flipkart.com. But please use any website that you are comfortable with as your reference point.

Location: India

Parts Preferences: by brand or type: I have my heart stuck on MSI GTX 970 4 GB card as looks great with the MOBO but I am not sure on compatibility and would need advice.

Overclocking: I don't think that I am going to need it. Please suggest.

SLI or Crossfire: Please suggest what would be better.

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080

Additional Comments: I have Logitech MK 220 keyboard and mouse combo that I purchased for my old laptop. Not sure if that will go along very well with this build. It would be very helpful if you could suggest some good options here as well.

At last, thank you so much for all your time and help. Cheers!

Hello India here is Greece. The 970 is absolutely fit into the motherboard. SLI 970 is great. You need 700W tier 1 or 2. PSU for SLI. 16-20-24GB RAM Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz CL9. AMD FX 8350 or better. SSD 120-250GB Samsung 850 evo and HDD 1-2-3TB. I will not refer shops and prices this time, i think you can do it. :)
