its very nice.

Another option would be this board. Jus throwing it out there. Good board, good price.

also idd you consider the r9 280x? It will out do a 960 by a little bit. but is up to you if you like nvidia's smooth operating cards and day one drivers for new games.

im an nvidia guy myself

Hey man thanks for the quick reply.
That mother board is really nice and cheap, but i saw many posts that said 990fx chip set is best for performance so i tried to choose one with it.
Also about the video card i'm still not sure which one to pick between 280x/ 290x/ gtx960/ gtx970, it will depend on my budget. The build will probably change in time since it will take me like 3 months to get the money for it.

Hey whats up man, I just built my first build the other day, and I got the ASUS Z87-PRO; I really like it. I really like the bios interface it came with. It looks really cool and easy to navigate. And if this is your first build, there are a good amount of videos using this motherboard to make things easier when it comes to plugging shit in the right place lol. But overall this is a great mother board. Hers my build http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/. Playing the Witcher 3 on ultra all day! lol Also if by any chance you are making your build wireless, the ASUS Z87-PRO has wifi-go already on it, and it works great; very low ping in game, and no hiccups. It a little cheaper than the one you posted. Its $119. But i think you can get $30 off with a mail in rebate. (which I don't how to do if anyone can explain that to me? I didn't see anything in the box about it)

Only thing I didn't care much for was the rear panel shield, but I thinks its the same on the one you also picked too, its whatever though. I just would of rather had a cooler looking shield.

Thats a intel mother board, i want to get a AMD processor. Also you linked the wrong link for pcpartpicker 😀.

Why AMD? Currently, you will have the BEST gaming performance with an i5. AN i5 4460 is roughly the same price as an 8350.

Are you sure, I only looked for fx 8350 vs i5 4690k didn't think about others, and i can see i5 4460 is a little more than 8350 but affordable. I have to look into that.

Thanks !

Ok so i changed the build thanks to Bossyfins and got to this.
Is this better than the first build and will the parts go together well?
I did set my mind on not OC-ing or SLI/Crossfire.

CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Motherboard: ASUS H97M-PLUSMotherboard
Memory: Kingston Fury Black Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

[Bossyfins]

Change the PSU to an XFX2, SeaSonic, Antec, or EVGA (Bs/g2/GS) 500-600 watts and you will be set. The VS550 is anot a quality psu.

This one is ok ? at 520W

 

[Bossyfins]

The 520 watt is fine.
