Get a less expensive processor (a 4th gen i5 would do). And get a better GPU than the 290 (something like the 970, or the 290X).

Bro why not i7 ?
Just for the reason of expensive ?

1. Fine, but Intel 5th generation Core processors for desktop market will be released soon.

2. I would recommend a "memory kit" for Dual Channel Memory setup. Look for Kingston HyperX series memory kit; if you are not able to find one then consider Corsair Vengeance series memory kit.

3. Get Western Digital Caviar Black series HDD (Great performance and quality).

4. Thermaltake Toughpower GP-850 (Excellent PSU).

6. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 GPU (Excellent Price/Performance/Features ratio).

Performance improvement would be minimal compared to if you buy a better graphics card.

So should i wait for new gen processors or buy the current ones ?
Is GTX 970 good as compared to ATI R9 series in every aspect ?

get a gtx 970 g1 gaming from gigabyte - good price n performance , you wont find any major gains from the 5th gen cpus over the 4th gen ones , except some gimmicks , get a gigabyte z97 black edition board which again is quite good performance and pair it with either an i5 4th gen or i7 4th gen .

16gb hyperx is good enough / thermal take 850watt or corsair 850watt depends on choise.

last but not least if you have money to spear get a ssd for the OS , it makes a lot of diff .

Using SSD as the main partition will give you substantial speed boost while booting windows and loading programs from it.

Supposedly you can now get a 128 SSD under 10k now.

corsair force GT is a lot better then my v300 Kingston....

Don't go for V series of Kingston. They had some issues. I guess Corsair/Samsung are far better than Kingston!

For processor, go for i5 and you can spend the rest on RAM/SSD.

Get 16GB of ram if possible. I mean build something that could last for years.


Graphics card. Uhmm. Get the 280x. You'll be getting 290 with a stock cooler and that sucks. Any aftermarket cooler will work. hone:
