I'd goto the [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/]pcmr subreddit[/url] and look/ask around. Also goto [url=http://www.pcpartpicker.com/ /]pcpartpicker[/url] to make sure your parts are comparable. I personally would wait a month or two until the new line of GPUs come out to get the best possible price. On the subject of GPUs, I really urge you to consider an r9 390 instead of the 970 for a number of reasons, the primary one being that it performs better at the same price. Other than the processor and graphics card, I'd get an ssd for the os and a hdd for most of your games and other files. Stay away from Kingston SSDs. Western digital hdds are much more reliable than seagate ones. You can get a cheap legitimate version of windows from r/softwareswap. 8 gb or ram will be enough for games and basic use, but it is really cheap right now so I couldn't fault you for getting 16. [b]Do Not[/b] cheap out on the power supply, it could cost you your whole build. Good brands are EVGE, Seasonic, and certain Corsair modles(there are more good brands but I cant think of more rn). If you have any questions or would like me to elaborate any more pm me, I was in the same boat as you 6 months ago.
