the power supply is to low for the 390 you need a 650w min for that large and power hungry gpu. drop the small ssd whe nyou have the funds put in a 256g drive so you have room for the os and games. with windows 10 your looking at 40-60g for reg install on a drive. so for a 120g drive you lost 1/2 of it just to windows. if you need to save some fund money drop down to a 4590 that 160.00 and msi z97 pc mate is 70.00 or an asrock h97 mb. use the saving for the larger ssd or power supply. if i was you i hold onto your funds till 2016. nvidia and amd are dropping soon there newer gpu cards. nvidia sometime in first 3 months of 2016. read up on nvidia pascal and how much faster it going to be over maxwell gpu for the same price. then build around the newer skylake parts.

Just change your psu to this (highest quality aka tier 1 psus):

Ok, the R9 380 is not a gaming GPU for my opinion as you will never need the 8gb , it's a mostly video editing-rendering gpu, while the gtx 970 is for the same price 2xbetter for gaming. Also both these card need too much power for a 600w psu so i changed it to a better one for about the same price which will support way better your gpu. Also I changed the RAM to 1600 mhz it really can't be noticed the 0,2 Ghz and it's not worth the 16$.

wth are you talking about i am not going to say anything bad about you or anything that you might not like but in that post literally everything i read was wrong, there is no gpu apart from the Quadros (but u can game on it) that isn't "made/targeted" for gamers and no for video editing the 970 is better and for gaming the r9 390 is better because of nvidia's cuda cores which help in rendering and for your info game in some time might need 8gb of ram as some games even demand more than 4 gb vram. Rendering uses more Dynamic ram than video ram and games use sorta more vram than dynamic ram (in contrast to rendering).

So in short:

> Editing/Rendering = 970 is better (Thanks to Cuda)
> Gaming = R9 390

plz correct ur info

I am sorry my friend but I am aware of the cuda cores and still doesn't make much of a difference! You will NEVER use more than 3 Vram in any monitor and game setup (well you might in 6 years but that's a whole different storry)! The 8gb of vram are mostly for people That have like 5k cameras and wan't to downgrade to 4k,2k and 1080 at the same time or some other video crazy stuff that takes a lot of vram and needs a lot of shading/texture mapping units. What games are needing though is clock speed and vram clock so it can process less things faster. It's like comparing a server-cpu with a gaming cpu only with a bit less difference. You can do really good gaming with a 4 core cpu that has a clock of more thatn 4 hz and you can do crappy gaming with a 16 core cpu with like 2,6 hz or so.
It's really not thaaat of a huge difference between the two GPUs but for gaming the GTX 970 has the upper hand.
