Durable or not, its a heng suay thing. Its not like if you buy a ultra durable board it means it will last very long. Its just marketing.

All electronics components have a tendancy to fail. Whether it fails now or later thats a question.

All boards are made the same.

Your parts selections are fine. But too bad you already bought the gpu. For that price you could have gone for a small top up for the gtx970.

As for psu, it is hard to find a 500w psu in market right now. Including the 600w. Technically, you can just go for 450w Psu.

Try finding seasonic g450 semi modular 80+ gold psu. It should be going for $105.

Monitor can go for Dell P2314H 23inch matte eIPS panel.

hi roy..thanks for ur reply..haha i choose the msi 960 is cause of its looks..and the msi 970 is abt 200 more.

The mobo mayb I change to Msi H97M-G43 which is cheaper. Shld be fine right?

I might be heading down to sls later to buy the remaining parts.

Anw can i just ask is it worth it to pay extra for a Dell U2414 instead of the P2314? although i will be over my budget but if it really worth it i dont mind topping up as i want my first diy com to give me a good experience. so can poison myself to get better things next time..hahaha

If you are street smart, you will get the 970 at just 42x-43x range. Its 20% faster.

Anyway bought already just enjoy.

You can change the mobo. Highly your choice. Aesthetically see what you really like. Stay within the range of h81, b85, h97.

As for the monitors. U2414 is about the same as p2314. Just that it has bezeless design.

EDIT:typo

Sorry. The previous post got all the typos.

Anyway to answer your question. Dont just buy high wattage. Just find within your needs will do. Higher does not equate good.

Try see if you can find coolermaster v650. Its made by seasonic.
