Hi guys, I have a new build that I would like to buy but I could use some pointers first.
The rigg is supposed to be for gaming and I think that later on I might add one MSI gtx970 and go for the SLI method (instead of going for the 980 right away). My budget is around 1.1k Euro (ca 10 000 Swedish Krona).

I might do some overclocking if I am up for it but not sure yet.

I have added all the stuff in here :

The only thing I could not add was the Antec 300 (old chassi from my former builds) which is supposed to be an ATX chassi.

What do you guys think? Is there anything I should change or think about before buying?

PS. I will buy a new SSD later on as I have more money.

Some 3D work actually run better for cheaper on GPUs initially designed for game rendering.
 


I would say that it is a budget problem and I would still consider the gaming cards okay to render with. More or less. The primary use of the computer is to game on but I will render some of my 3D work on there as well.. My thought of mind would say that a professional video card for rendering etc is not necessary since most of the rendering stuff will be done on other computers.
