I'm free to switch out the parts, but I'm trying to keep a budget of around $1300. Currently this build is at $1226. Any help would be appreciated!
 

Reason being is that I plan to use the SSD for the OS and other frequent applications, and then the reason for the 3TB is because this PC will be the server for almost everyone else in my household, meaning it'll also be a BitTorrent Sync station.
 

It's currently priced at $260, is there something better that I can replace it with?
 

After a quick search, I foudn that the R9 was slightly more expensive than the 960. Some of them only being cheaper by a few bucks.

 


Taken into account! Is there anything in particular I need for building a PC? Thermal paste, kind of screwdriver, static wristbands. That sort of thing, apart from the components themselves.
