Gaming pc part options

[Ninja4848]

ive been designing my GAMING PC build and i have a few options.

(not all have options, just showing the rest of the build)
CPU: i5 4590 $199
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO $30 / NONE
Mobo: MSI H97 Gaming 3 $172 / ASRock Z97 Anniversary $131
RAM: Kingston HyperX 16GB Kit 1600MHz $73
Storage: Seagate 3TB HDD SATA 6Gb/s $88 / 2TB version $72
GPU: R9 380 Sapphire Nitro 4GB $205 / R9 380 Gigabyte G1 Gaming 4GB $205 / GTX 960 4GB SSC GAMING ACX 2.0+ $230
Case: Deepcool Tesseract SW Mid Tower Case $55
PSU: Rosewill VALENS-500M (Full) 80+ Gold $64

1) what mobo should i use?
2) should i get the 3TB hdd or is that just a waste?
3) what GPU should i get? (i THINK the R9 380 gigabyte is the best: http://www.game-debate.com/gpu/index.php?gid=3101&gid2=3096&compare=radeon-r9-380-sapphire-nitro-4gb-edition-vs-radeon-r9-380-gigabyte-g1-gaming-4gb-edition)

3TB is too much, just if you want to install all games you have even if you not play them,
If you can get a 970 cos this GPU can run any game on 1080p on Ultra.
If you go for 4gen CPU check this mobo ASRock Z97 EXTREME6

not sure what happened with the best answer thing. i may have clicked it by mistake, or and admin choose it for me

 

[Gam3r01]

No it was a normal user (which they arent supposed to do).
The only people allowed to close threads are the OP, or a moderator down the line. They wont set the answer on an active threads, but rather ones that are months old that no longer get replied and are still open.

I unselected it, because obviously thats not the best for you.
