[fourwheeler2000]

this is my first time build and don't want to mess it up just wanna know if these parts are gonna give me an awesome pc! http://pcpartpicker.com/user/fourwheeler2000/saved/cPv2FT

 

[Brunostako]

Yes, everything is OK.

One suggestion, go with a FM2+ motherboard. That way you will have a CPU upgrade path.

 

[fourwheeler2000]

k thanks

 

[Brunostako]

Also use a bigger PSU. 500W is somehow low for the R9 280X.

 

[fourwheeler2000]

this is the updated version http://pcpartpicker.com/p/sv9jbv i went with the PSU upgrade also because i wanted to SLI the 280X's at some point

 

[Brunostako]

Great. Just an advise for the future.

If you stay with the 760K, you will face huge bottlenecks with a 280X crossfire. You may need a platform upgrade at that moment.

 

[fourwheeler2000]

platform upgrade? ill definitely upgrade the CPU before the gpu

 

[Brunostako]

Hopefully AMD will have something that can support a 2-way crossfire without causing bottlnecks. If not you will need to switch to Intel.

You can do better, for a similar cost, and have a better upgrade path.

[fourwheeler2000]

no cpu cooler?

 

[logainofhades]

Don't need aftermarket cooling, for locked Intel cpu's.

 

[fourwheeler2000]

oh but i plan to upgrade it to a i5 4690k will i need an aftermarket cooler then?

 

[logainofhades]

If you get the i5 4460, getting an i5 4690k is a waste of money. If you get the i3 and then get one, then get a cpu cooler at that time.

 

[fourwheeler2000]

im gonna get the i3 for now thanks
