Is this Build good enough??

[Unclejunebug]

Well, recently a friend of mine won the local lottery and requested me to get him a MAXIMUM Gaming PC setup, he's willing to pay + my commission since i'm the one doing the shopping + assembly & installation of the necessary stuff (Drivers, BIOS, OS etc.) and here's what i got for him Note : the list is subdue to change prior to specifications & incompatibility/poor performance)

-The sound card can be unnecessary since with the Mobo and GPU like that, i doubt that you'll need a sound card to hear clear audio but just to be sure though

-I'm not sure if the Mobo is one of the best out there since local PC components here is limited and quite pricey depending on the brand and model

-While the RAM, GPU & CPU is overkill the 2 SSD is quite an overkill too since for me i only need 1 SSD for paging, OS, and other stuff that needed to run the PC but the second is for installed games / softwares while the 4TB HDD is for storage like Vids/Music.

the CPU on the other hand is i think, not the best out here since again, the availability of parts here are limited to only a few pieces and brands depending on the demand of the people who buy parts from this PC hardwares.

So what do you think, is it a waste of money or an overkill or a modest setup?

Well, its certainly overkill for a cheap 1080p monitor. If you're going with a high-end video card like that, you really owe it to yourself to have a good monitor, preferably something in the 1440p + 120 Hz range.

Additionally, I'd also go with the new GTX 980 over the 780 Ti. Alternatively, two GTX 970's in SLI look like they might be a pretty great deal for high-end performance and would probably even hold up at 4K.

Though 980 / 970 is new, this GPU isn't available on my Country yet, so a 780Ti / 760 would be a safe bet til' the 980 / 970 are available here, and yeah a good monitor should be at least 120Hz in refresh rate, but it's still a rough list, i'll make some changes later on
