GFX will be a GTX 970, with plans to add a second as SLI in a year from now.
Any really bad aspects of this build? Something that isn't compatible?
Change to I5-4690k, 4670 is the old one
Change to a quality powersupply, like one made by Seasonic or Super Flower
XFXs are made by Seasonic
Evga G2/P2 are made by Super Flower

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;46394583]link is broken
my only opinion on this yeah change the power supply to something like yeah a xfx or a corsair branded (personal recommendation CX500M i have this and i haven't had a single issue) you can pick up a define r4 for cheaper and crucial ssds aren't [U]t[/U]he best, go with a seagate/samsung/intel ssd

I don't recommend the CX line. Also, Samsung beats out the Crucial, but that's about it. The Seagate is inferior and generally the Intel SSD's are very overpriced for their performance.

Yep avoid Corsair. They are using worse OEMs and worse components for most of their lines now.

Does this look alright now?
Again, not shown: Two GTX 970
Also, I'm not buying the 2TB drive. It is shown because I already own one that I'm going to repurpose to this new build.
thanks for the help, it is much appreciated
