Potential new build.

[Projeqts]

Started a new job so thought I'd treat myself to a new rig before Battlefield 1 lands on PC.

I've put this together, is there anything you guys would change?

The PSU isnt the best.

As the board does not support SLI then 550W PSU will be plenty.

This will do SLI.

Dont see why the MSI is £100 more, its clock speeds arent massively higher.

like the look of the bundle to include SLI. Don't plan on it yet but will be useful for the future incase I fancy something new!
