Get rid of the seagate HDD in favor of WD/Hitachi/Toshiba
The GTX980 is a bad buy, either go 970 or all out 980 Ti
A 550w power supply might struggle to supply the 12v rail with enough current for a 980+, go 650w
>$400 27" monitor
shit nigga what
>HD 598 for $150
Naw dude, get M50s for $100
>$170 on 2.1 speakers
Or you could not.

>asking us after the fact
And if we tell you it's trash, what then?
>850w
Unneeded unless you're crossfiring 390s
>1tb HDD
>2015
Why bother? You could've just bought a used one somebody is considering throwing out

this is what i would do instead. it's a little more expensive, with some changes made that are more in line with my tastes, but tell me what you think.

550w is plenty in this stock build. Not to mention it's a gold rated, tier 1 PSU (seasonic rebadged). The GTX 980 is a very powerful efficient card running @ <300w under full full load.

At $500+ the gtx 980 is not a good buy, but at $430 it's a fucking steal. Best value card with that pricing.

The PB278Q is an amazing monitor for the price so you can't really go wrong with it. OP could opt for
a cheaper monitor though, save the $$$$ and opt for a 980 Ti. Just a matter of personal preference.

Lol @ the 2008 argument against seagate. Seagate is fine. Look at recent return rates.

I agree with the rest of your statements.

>offer op some solid options
>nigger fucks off and says nothing

OP here. Took some advice and tweaked the setup a bit. How does it look? Also, not sure about the 980 Ti's dimensions easily clearing the mini ITX setup. I found a decently small model @ 10.51" which seems to be within the limits. Anyone have experience with the Node 304?

Sorry, I was making some revisions. I'm going to stick with the Xeon, with it having pretty much the same clock speeds and specs as an individual 4790k for much cheaper. I don't plan on OCing. I did take some of your input and translated it into my build. Thank you.
