Lol when you said you were building a new pc I thought you meant another Player Character. IE: pc

Everything seems compatible and should work. I would personally go for gtx980ti over gtx980, but the difference in price is somewhat significant. You should be able to run absolutely everything that they put out in the next couple years with that rig easily. On maxed out details as well.


This is a good page for checking compatibility when you're building a new PC:

I don't usually follow the PC components or whatever world regularly, but I built a new PC a few months ago myself so I had to get myself up to date. My recommendation is: if you are unsure about a certain part, google the shit out of it

oh, and if you're building it on your own, and you're done with putting it together but it won't turn on for some reason even though you're 100% sure you put everything together correctly, try switching the places of RAM modules. Instead of like, you know, rebuilding the entire thing over and over again 4-5 times. Not that it ever happened to me or something . . .




...(do-me) ram modules

I built my own system,

your system looks pretty good though I suggest avoiding mixing memory kits, since the manufacturer only guarantees them as a set. mixing two kits, even if they are the same specification, is risky!

also, I might go with a 1000 watt power supply, just in case (I got an 850 watt, and wish I had gotten a lot more)
