Hello! It would be most kind if you could look at my second build and provide advice. Thank you very much.

CPU - Intel Core i5-4670K

CPU Cooler - Alpenföhn Gotthard

Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-Z87-D3HP

GPU - Sapphire Radeon R9 290X Tri-X OC, 4GB GDDR5

RAM - 2 x Crucial Ballistix Sports XT DIMM kit 8GB, DDR3-1866

PSU - Fractal Design Newton R3 800W

Case - Nanoxia Deep Silence 6 Dark Black Window

I intend to use the 2 HDDs, 1 SSD, and the operating system from my first build, and I have already bought the RAM as well. The items I feel iffy about are the motherboard and the PSU. Is there a better motherboard I could buy for a similar price? I don't think I will ever go for Nvidia SLI or AMD CrossFire but it doesn't hurt to have the option. Is the PSU wattage adequate? I was thinking that if I ever get another one of those GPUs, that will only leave 300 watts for the remainder of the system. That doesn't sound like enough!

So, what do you guys say?

If those are links to competitors, you will need to get rid of them :)

Don't worry, they're not. It's some price comparison website that has the specifications, images, links to reviews, and the prices of the various components I want in my build. I thought if I make it as easy as possible for you guys to check out the components I want, I would get more help and feedback. Searching for a multitude of components yourself isn't exactly a great way of attracting help.
 
A price comparison website that lists all of the competitors and their prices... I'd say either remove them and just list components, or do a basket on ocuk and paste that.
Everyone on here knows what the specs mean anyhow.

Overclockers doesn't have a good deal of the components listed so I'll just remove the links then. My apologies. I thought Overclockers would block all disallowed links (with the exception of Amazon, strangely).
