Hello, first i would like to thank you for taking the time to read this. This is my first time custom building my own computer. I aim the build im making to cost around 1050 before peripherals.
I plan on becoming a software engineer so i will be doing a fair amount of programming on my build. I will also play/make some games(First person shooter like COD mainly) so having a good GPU was considered in my build. Also I will be planning on OC down the road when i upgrade to better cooling system (maybe liquid cooling). On another note to save money initially I will not be purchasing a m$ windows os, I will run some strand(s) of linux.
so here is the build i arrived at:
260 - i5-4670k
190 - MSI Z87-GD65 gaming mobo
195 (195) - EVGA GeForce gtx 650ti boost superclocked 2gb
80$ - Kingston heperx 2x4gb 1600mhz(red)
110 - ADATA S510 120gb
120 - corsair TX850M
75 - corsair carbide 300R
20 - some optical drive
total: about 1030
All of the prices above are based on ones obtained from canada computers. What is your opinion of this build? Please note i most likely end up buying this set up from canada computers because they are nearby/i think i'd be too impatient to wait for shipping (canadacomputers.com).
