[Quirionelf]

Hi guys, I intend to build a PC as my old one is too slow these days.

Specs are as followed :

MSI H97 Gaming 3 + i5-4670
Gskill 8gb ram
Zotac GTX 760 or Zotac GTX 760 AMP (any diff in terms of performance?)
Kingdom V300 SSD 120GB
WD 1 TB HDD
Cd Drive
Superflower HX600
Corsair Carbide Spec casing
Windows 8.1

$1400, is it worth it?

Thanks and appreciate your help.

You only need a H motherboard if you plan on doing raid.

Consider a Powercolour R9290 if its within budget. If not, AMP more worth it.

Get a crucial MX500 SSD from amazon instead. More reliable.
