Why go with the 960 when the r9 280x is basically the same price and has more ram and is a better GPU overall. What is wrong with the mobo I have now, it has everything I need. I dont like windows 8.1, I had it and 10 is much better. What benefit does faster ram serve when 1600mhz is cheap and works. Your cpu is pretty much the same as mine. I dont know why you are trying to change everything when it is the same stuff pretty much. Thanks for your input.

I am not gonna argue about the amd vs nvidia just the 960 has some advantages over amd and the 280x is only better in 4K in which you wouldnt buy for 4K gaming. The Z97 Allows you OC your cpu if you ever get a "K" Intel cpu and in rendering,editing and for stuff like these there is a noticeable difference. Also windows 8.1 have the fastest boot and less bugs than the windows 10. Also your psu isnt very high quality and the one that I recomended you has 10year warranty and its the top tier/quality (http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html)

I went for the 960 now like you said. I will go for the z97. With windows 8.1 I had it and didnt like it, the bugs will be fixed like other windows versions it just came out too, it will have bugs. I have 10 now and it is fine. For the psu is the corsair cx600w good? I did go with 2400 mhz ram now, the corsair vengance pro, and it is red which is the color of my build with the red led fans and it is not to much more $. So thank you.

Also if there is red mobo that is pretty much the same as mine now that would be great because of the red color scheme for not that much more. Thank you.

How much more does the evga supernova g2 750w costs? Cause for a good build you need a good quality psu. Also since its modular you dont have a junk of cables that you aint gonna ever use and you can connect only the ones you need. Also you can find in stores RED psu cables so they match your whole rig. Also you could get the msi or palit super jetsream edition which is red too. I told you where the 2400mhz will help. For the mobi you could write to google Z97 red motherboard 😉

I am gona go with the corasir cx600m because it is like $50 less tan the supernova and it is modular and I dont need a 750w only a 600w. I changed the card to yours like I said earlier but I am gonna keep the cooler have now itseems good, thanks!

The EVGA dual fan 960, because that one is the superSc which has very high clocks out of the box.

Yes I know I wont need the z97 right away but when I do upgrades I willnot have to buy a new mother board which is saving me money and it is not that much than the H97. I changed the mobo to this z97(Gigabyte GA-Z97-HD3 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard) becuase it is black and grey compared to black and blue, and red is them theme of my build.

Yeah I know but I really dont have the extra cash for that, my budget started at 600-700 and now it is at $800. And I really dont need the 4GB, 2GB is plenty.
