That rig is nearly $900 before rebates. The PSU isn't very good at all. Are you adamant about overclocking? If not, get a 4440 and B85 chipset motherboard, then swap the R9 290 for a GTX 970. As for case, either CM N200 or NZXT S340.

I made some swap out a few things and added others in. let me know how it look now [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Still pretty poor. What is your full budget? Also, you can get an OS for free, easily, and that would allow a larger budget for components, so you should definitely do that.

800 to 1k is my budget for a gaming pc.

About $990 after discounts. The RAM won't match the build too well, so you might want to spend a few extra dollars to get a more neutral coloured RAM.

The RAM is red, there's nothing else in the build that is red so the colour won't match but it will still be fine. You can spend a few extra dollars to get black RAM if you wish but it won't make a difference.

What I suggested is better. Better PSU, GPU, SSD(as well as larger capacity). The case I suggested is arguably nicer

stupid question but does your build run games like bf4 and stuff good?

Well, yes. It's better than what you asked about originally. GTX 970 will handle anything you throw at it with ease.
