Building a CPU

wesman1999 · May 14, 2013

I am a first time CPU builder and I was wondering if this is a good start for a gaming PC. I will not be playing any hardcore gaming and this is just the basic components for my basic build. I will mostly be playing Minecraft, Starwars the old republic, and other games like that. Also later I will be getting the Geforce 650 ti 1GB version. I was wondering if this build would be a good one.

Build is on tiger direct, http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7835029&CatId=7718

Thats the link, then I will also have the hardrive

Thanks for Reading

In short, no. Ultra PSU's are junk and FX 4100 is a poor gaming chip. What is your total budget and will you need a copy of Windows as well?

Around 500 dollars ,but I already have a copy of windows ,so I don't have to worry about that.

If you have a RETAIL copy of windows you're fine. Most people buy an OEM/ System Builders copy since its alot cheaper. If thats the case you will need a new copy
