I put a lot of time into selecting parts for this PC that I am going to build.

I will also be over clocking my processor when the time comes.

I hope this build can run GTA V 1080p 60fps and other games like the witcher 3, arma, assassins creed, battlefield, call of duty, fallout 4 and other AAA games.

I am not very sure about the HDD and I am confused between MSI Radeon R9 390 and Sapphire nitro R9 390. I know the nitro is a lot bigger (physically).
Also, how much SSD is recommended if I am only going to put the OS and steam on there? 250GB or 120GB?

Can you guy suggest improvements to this build?

If the link doesn't work, here is the build-

- Intel i5 6600k
- MSI Radeon R9 390 OR Sapphire Nitro R9 390
- Asus Z170 Pro gaming
- Cooler Master Nepton 240M
- Kingston HyperXFury (2x8GB)
- EVGA Supernova 750W gold certified
- Samsung 850 evo 250GB or 120GB
- Western Digital Blue 2TB
 
there is no case in this build, so I added one:

I took your list, and refined it to be what I think is the best options:

first, you were overpaying for a cooler, so I took a better one for cheaper.
then, I replaced the HDD for a slightly faster one with better reliability.
I kept the sapphire one (although I am a big fan of MSI cards) because it fit in with the black color scheme.
as I said, I added the case because you didn't have on in the link, and I think that case ia Great case for the money.
 
Solution



Thanks bro appreciate it.
My question, is sapphire reliable as compared to MSI? And is it as over clockable as MSI?
 


Thanks bro, looks like a weeks worth of research payed off :)
 


I did a bit of research about the differences of these two cards. The Sapphire R9 390 is really big, so you would have to check the size of it and see if it will fit in the case you are planning on getting. In performance, there shouldn't really be any difference between the two. I have read lots of reviews and comparisons about them and they both seem like a solid choice to me. I did read that the Sapphire will have better cooling, probably because it is bigger and has 3 fans. So, the fans would (probably) run quieter than the MSI card's fans. I think the MSI card has LEDs on it. If you have a red and black color scheme, the MSI card would look very nice. I also think the MSI allows you to control the fan speed, etc. easier. So, its really up to you on which one you would like based on this information! :)
 


I would go for the sapphire, I don't really care about the LEDs. I just want it to run cool because where I live, the temperature can go above 40°C. Thanks for your time bro
 


Just make sure it will fit! :)
