I finally got enough to buy a pc, im looking to spend $1000 maybe a little more for windows etc. I will be using this for mostly pc gaming (games like gta v, csgo, gmod, arma 3, possibly far cry or fallout 4), some music production stuff as well. I dont need any peripherals as I already bought them. I dont know anything about overclocking so I dont think im going to do it. I have a $700+ balance in amazon so I want to buy everything mostly from there. I also have $220 on paypal to buy any other things.

XFire support, so you can easily add a 2nd 390 at any point. The only thing I'd personally be annoyed about with this rig, is the stock cooler because it's ugly and loud, but it will suffice. Plus, you can upgrade the cooler at any point in the future, if you feel the need anyway.

NVidia option;

SLI support, so you can add a 2nd 970 at any point. The 390 is going to perform better at 1440p than a 970, for the most part, but if you're familiar with NVidia, and/or would just prefer an NVidia card, the 970 will be fine.

If you need to pay for a Windows key, get it from somewhere like G2A, Kinguin, or [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I forgot to mention the computer will be on the ground on carpet, is there any case you recommended good for being on the carpet?

I'd recommend not having it on the carpet.
OR adding some wood underneath it or something.

I'd advise against it. Even if you could find a plank of wood to sit your system on, on the caret, that would be handy. Other than that, just make sure the PSU fan is facing up so that it doesn't suffocate and you should be alright.

Price is hovering around $1k, if you want to move around the sellers to Amazon you'll have to spend a bit more, so you could drop the cooler if you need;

Ok so here is the deal now, I already purchased this case [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] so everything has to be for that case. I'm deciding on getting the 390 for now. I'm not overclocking.
