first of all thanks very much for all the advice.

is there any advantage of the 970 chipset over the 990 chipset ?

I like the look of the cooler master k281 plus i comes with 2X USB 3.0 front ports.

I want to go with a 3 tb drive for storage and a ssd for the os

in regards to the ram isn't it better to go with the 2400mhz version and what is the advantage with a single gpu over a sli?

Pretty bad configuration when compared to what are suggested here. The choice of CPU and GPU are really not good compared to what you can squeeze in the build at your budget. Stick with Asish65's configuration and if you want a better motherboard and future solution for Multi-GPU solution, get Asus M5A99FX R2.0 motherboard @ 11K. R9 280X is quite more powerful than 270X. Also, why you are opting for a Non-full HD monitor for gaming, IN2030M has maximum resolution of 1600X900. Get Dell s2240l W 8.6K which is a full hd display with 1920X1080 resolution.

^^ Buddy, what are you suggesting??? Do you think S12II 430, a 430W can handle a R9 280X graphics card?
