New Build! Please help!

[Anthony Cruz]

So after a while of researching I finally settled on some hardware, but I would like more experienced pc players opinions, I need a temporaily future proof pc, I wasted all my money on college so for the gpu lets try to keep it under 300$ and the mobo under 100$.

• 
  Case - Corsair Spec 1 Red (Bought)
  
  CPU - Intel i5-4440 3.1 GhZ (Recycled)
  
  Mobo - ASROCK Z97
  
  GPU - GTX 970 4gb VRAM
  
  RAM - 8GB Corsair Vengeance (Recycled)
  
  HDD - 1TB Seagate 7200RPM (Recycled)
  
  PSU - 730 Watt Raidmax RX730 Sli compatable (Bought)

Are you planning to overclock later? If not, you could buy a H97 board.

What about WiFi?

Can you buy a GTX970 for less than $300?

I was wondering how the heck he did that.

Motherboard + GPU for a total of $400 is certainly possible and, like most of us, the OP could find another $20 if absolutely necessary.

Im not looking to OC, and the 970 is a little over but its a 4k card and its cheap so...lol and Im looking for a MOBO like 4 ram slots and sli capability or two ram slots and sli capability. I am a content creator so RAM is needed when it comes to Photo shop and Rendering.

See just a bit over 970 330$

Good. Is your existing RAM one stick or two 4GB?

There are several ASRock H97 motherboards that would do but other experts will need to advise you on subtleties of difference.
