Do you plan on overclocking?

 

[WIPGamer]

Yes.

So really this is a questions of which SSD/HDD, and power supply to get? Because thats the only thing I see changing between these builds.

Bigger PSU is never bad. I agree that the 520w unit is on the low side. Cannot comment on Antec and SeaSonic. I've always built with Corsair and never had a problem.

1 vs 2 TB of storage is pure preference. Will you fill up 1TB? Get 2 TB. Will you fill up 2TB? Get more....

Both SSD options are pretty middle of the field. If you want awesome step up to a Samsung 850.

Hmm.. I don't think I will fill up 1 TB soo I will upgrade the PSU and the SSD. What will keep me in my budget? Is there anything else wrong with this build, anything to change??

Better motherboard, faster ram, better SSD, and an SLI ready PSU.

Only thing why did you change out the Graphics card?

Only thing why did you change out the Graphics card?

Mainly price. But the MSI gaming is still a great card. The Gigabyte G1 and the MSI gaming 4g are usually considered the best 970s available.

Oh Ok, thanks for all the help man.
