Build Ready:

Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)

I have!

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

Largely gaming, with a side of browsing and stuff.

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, FPS, game settings)

Games I look to be playing include Skyrim, Fallout 4, Witcher 3, Arkham Knight, Battlefront possibly (if EA doesn't mess it up too much). High to Ultra settings preferred, at as high a framerate I can get. I intend to get a 144 Hz screen. I will use 2 monitors; if I'm gaming on one, the other will have my browser, media player, etc open. Resolution: 1080p

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

I have around $950 to spend. It can be a bit more, but only if truly necessary.

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

'Murica ^{fuck yeah}

Provide any additional details you wish below.

• I was considering the 970 for a bit, but I'm going to go with the 390 unless I am really convinced that what I'm doing is absolutely the worst decision.

• The case is largely a placeholder, though I have nothing against it. I'll probably choose what tickles my fancy most when I head to Microcenter and can see them in person.

• I've heard that Intel SSDs are reliable and perform well. Is it worth the premium on the price I'm seeing?

Thanks for all the help!
