wait to buy a RX480

Get the Rx 480. Will perform at 980 levels, for $200, with low temps and power consumption. You just have to wait about 2 weeks.

With that money you saved on the GPU, get a SSD. One of the best things you can buy for your PC.

I haven't tried AMD cards before, but that sounds interesting.

I actually have an SSD right now, but it's showing signs of failing, so I made my HDD as my primary OS drive, and the SSD as data drive. It's slow at times, but it's tolerable. I miss the speed though. Also I download a lot, that's why I've decided I need the storage more than the speed right now haha.

A few bits of advice

1. Go ahead and get a hex core. It will benefit you in the long run.
2. You don't need to buy a Noctua. It is a name brand product with a name brand premium price. There are plenty of alternatives for half of the cost.
3. Buy a 1tb 7200rpm HGST hard drive for less cost and greater reliability.
4. Wait for RX 480 instead of buying GTX 970 now.
5. You do not need a gold certified power supply. Bronze is fine.
6. Do not pay for an optical drive unless you really need one. If you do, get it from a used PC parts place for five bucks, or from a tech oriented friend who will likely give it to your for free.
7. Find some other way to get legitimate Windows for cheaper. I'm sure you can do it, you're a smart guy.
8. Do not buy a keyboard. Get one for free from some person or place.
9. That mouse is too cheap. Pay about $10 and get a much nicer one.

Would a 5820k be worth it over a 6700k at current prices? I can get a 6700k for $320 while a 5820k would be $390, is it actually worth the extra $70?

>buying windows
Fuck that.
Get a modular PSU.
Zalman case can go fuck itself right now.
GTX 970 is not a good idea when rx 480 is around the corner.
No SSD, get an SSD.

>>55069696
Not really. It's not even worth it to spend $300 on the 6700k

>>55069696
The 5820K is $369.

No GPU.

dude, there is NO fucking reason to use a 70 dollar heatsink on a non-overclocked average-tier CPU.

if you're a consumerist cuck and feel you NEED one (you don't, the stock cooler is more than enough for what you are going to be doing) then get something cheap like a coolermaster 212

also, if you want to buy it RIGHT NOW, then go with the r9 390 because it's going to age much more gracefully than that gtx 970.

but honestly, i'd wait. the RX 480 is significantly more powerful than the GTX 970 and the R9 390 and it comes out at the end of thus month and is only going to be around $200
