You see, i plan to make video games as my job. I love em. And i need a pc that's outfitted to handle Huge loads over a long period of time. It needs to be able to run high graphics and be able run my game engine. I've got a part list planned out, and I'm 90% sure that I have a good build. Price isn't as much of an issue as performance, so can some of you PC people take a look and give me some tips? Thanks in advance!

I can only say one thing: COOLING. Cooling, cooling, cooling, and then some. The video card in particular is known for running very hot.
Like Miaplacidus said, I have heard that that video card has horrible cooling and the R390 has a known power off issue (it reboots your computer instead of turning it off). I recently bought a card and I like to review a lot before I make a decision. I would switch it out for a $10 more expensive MSI GTX 980 instead, it runs very cool and actually outperforms the R390 in just about every game. But I am no expert, I just happen to know about current graphics cards because I upgraded mine a couple of weeks ago so I could play Ark so take it with a grain of salt.
dude if your doing any 3d graphics stuff. Go with Nvidia. Your going to need cuda cores! Believe me if you do any sort of rendering.. go with nvidia.
I still miss the days when AMD was a competitive CPU manufacturer. I also miss the days when you could get your hands on (for the era) beasts such as Power Macs with dual PowerPC 970s.
Proud owner of a Power Mac G3 (blue and white) Came with OS 8.6. It was supported (if somewhat slow in graphics performance) under 10.4. The newer G4s with AGP graphics fared much better under OS X. I also kind-of sort-of own a G4 Cube.
I own a PowerBook G3 Wallstreet (250 Mhz). It originally had Mac OS 8.1, but I upgraded it to Mac OS 9. I use it to play classic Mac games like Marathon and Crystal Quest. ---------- Post added 3rd Jul 2016 at 10:26 PM ---------- Bitches love my PowerBook.
