New Gaming Rig Build

[Hulkein]

Just ordered the GPU since the price on these soon-to-be last gen Nvidia's got so low. How'd I do? And what games should I check out? I went 1080p with 144mhz monitor because I will be playing CS:GO and Overwatch (FPS fan first).

Looking good. I'd go with a larger HD, either an HDD (with an SSD for boot) or spring for a 1tb SSD. Pretty soon they will be really cheap.

[Hulkein]

That's a good call. I will probably add one at some point soon.

I got a 500mb SSF for only 134$ hella cheap. go for it.

I would sell the GPU as soon as these new AMD cards come out.

The budget ones?

That GPU will most likely run anything you can get your hands on for another 2-4 years, assuming you are at 1080. You may have to drop from Ultra to High or something in a few unlikely scenarios, but for 1080 gaming the GPu hardware is so far ahead of the game design at this point that the new cards are a flatout waste of money unless you are doing 4k or just like PC rig stamp collecting.
