I'm building a computer for the first time and I need confirmation that this build will work fine. Also, will this computer be good for high-end gaming? I plan on SLIing in the future with another 760.

Is there anything I left out?

(I want to keep the budget under 900)

The motherboard supports Crossfire,so you can feel free to add another R9 280X in the future.
Also,I put the EVGA G2 850W just so you don't have to buy a new one when you decide to add another card and it fits in the $900 budget.
128GB SSD for OS and some games,1TB HDD for other games and pics,music and documents.
All the best,mate. 😉
PS The 280X is way stronger than the GTX 760,in case you were wondering. 😉

Wow thanks for that xD. Way better than mine. Probably will get a different case, but thanks!
 


Corsair 200R is my favourite,but if you have something else that you like,then go for it. :)
