Drop the RAM to 8GB and then invest the difference in getting a good 120 or 250GB SSD like the Samsung 850 Evo or Crucial M550. Also I didn't see a PSU listed in your build.

 

[DonkeyOatie]

I would want a 256Gb SSD for OS and applications in that build, and a Tier 1 or 2 750W PSU. The EVGA 110-B2-750-VR is a great for $60, and semi-modular.

If you get a SSD, you don't need a hybrid drive, and that will save a bit.

 

[mas7873]

If you're building a MicroATX build then you'll want an (at least) semi, or fully modular PSU preferably from one of the following manufacturers: EVGA, Antec, XFX, Seasonic at least 750W gold rated.

Like Donkey said, if you're getting an SSD just get a normal HDD for storage.

I would get this if you need the 16 GB of RAM, but currently for gaming its not necessary.


I would go for this. It has a higher capacity SSD, with 8GB of ram.

You will have to move the drive bays in order to get the GPUs in - I would purchase an SSD and get the 2tb HDD as your storage space. Are you booting the OS off USB?

I would purchase the EVGA SuperNova G2 850W - 10 year warranty!

10 year warranty doesn't really mean anything - in ten years you won't have that supply anyways and they'll be replaced with newer and better units.

Alrigth, heres the new build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/jgstRB

 

[mas7873]

Looks good, just one thing. You'll want duel channel ram so 2x4gb sticks rather than 1x8gb

 

[AMDThunder]

Was it intentional to have only 1 GPU the last link, or just an oversight?

 

[That Mexicano Guy]

No, i will need 16 gigs of ram for editing and maybe livestreaming.
Yes , i know that, i will buy the new GPU when i get more money.

 

[That Mexicano Guy]

Wait.. I just realized that my mobo has 4 RAM slots... I feel dumb now

 

[SithElement]

Here is a more solid build for what your looking for. It may be a little more expensive but I believe it works. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/-Murch-/saved/gZjscf
