Gaming PC Build Help

[Linkin506]

Hey guys, this will most likely be my last post on help with building a gaming PC, so lets get into it. Here is the build that I will most likely be building: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Linkin506/saved/
If you have any suggestions on what I should add or replace, as long as it doesn't change the total price too much, please tell me. Also, I was thinking of adding an SSD to this build, so if you guys know a good one that will be good for this build, pleas tell me. Thanks guys!

Your build is good get the xfx 650 watt PSU instead of 550 the price is same and with R9 290 its better to use a 600+ PSU.

If you wanted to do crossfire in the future you would need a more expensive Z97 motherboard that supports true crossfire.

SSD is not a must to have item it would make the booting and loading faster than the HDD but thats it so its totally upto you to use a SSD or not.
A 120 gb SSD is what most people use for their OS .
You can go for this one if you like http://pcpartpicker.com/part/samsung-internal-hard-drive-mz7td120bw

ill most likely just build the pc as it is now, then save up for an ssd later, and does an ssd make gaming faster too? or just boot up? thanks guys!

SSD doesn't makes any difference in gaming performance you will get the same FPS using a HDD or a SSD.

It can reduce loading times in games but does not affect the fps you have.
