My mate gave me this for my custom pc that he is going to build for me because he has done it before. But first I want to know if this set up is good enough for price and performance.

Only using a SSD for storage? 250gb wont cut it. get a mass storage drive, wd blue 1tb at least. 16GB is too much if you are just gaming and one 970 will suffice if you are gaming at 1080p

I think this is a nice rig and is only £20 more the one in the link. A 980ti is better than 2 970's and some games don't support SLI so the 980ti will kick butt in them games. Added in a better SSD and a HDD for mass storage with a nice looking but cheaper case. Better PSU and is fully modular for nice cable management. 8gb is more than enough but this rig is more a white themed one, can change the color of the ram and case to black if you wished.

Just wait for Sanctorum or something to either edit this one or what not.

Edit: Just noticed that when going on to the Amazon link, the price of the 980ti is £620. You can get that and leave out the SSD until you save up that extra £80 or grab 2 970's or grab this card [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

It's decent but you should take away one of your graphics cards and spend the money on the rest of your computer. For example you could buy a proper 1TB Hardrive which you need aswell as the SSD. You should also take away 8GB of the RAM because you only need 8GB of RAM for gaming. You could also get a far better Processor.

This is my build for example:

(I do a lot of editing so I decided to go with 16GB of RAM).

You wont get very good overclocks with that cooler, the ssd is okay but ild get a samsung 850 evo. Its better to have a single more powerful gpu if theres the option. dual 970s perform similar to a 980ti. r4 doesnt have a mount for a 280mm radiator if you ever choose to watercool.

I would go for this. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Why are people recommending 980Tis and 980s? God damn.

OP-What will the system be used for?
What's your max budget?
Will you overclock?
Do you need any peripherals?
