So, I just roughly put together a system of what I want. (very rough)
Things like keyboard/mouse/wi-fi adapter plz just ignore. I don't care for advice on them
What about the core of the computer, CPU/cooler/PSU/GPU etc.
What would you change? (preferably for the cheaper if I can get ~equal value)
What would you consider a necessary change?
I really was aiming for a 1k build, but after monitor and such it ended up more.
And considering the new GPU's are coming out roughly soon, I will probably rethink my current choice.
(I'd like to work on this build until December, then purchase it, or earlier if I can afford and new GPUs are out)
My concerns:
Motherboard - went cheap here, so I may need to look for something better
CPU cooler - I have no idea what I'm doing in this area, I just picked a highly rated one
Storage - Worth it to get an SSD along with a normal one?
Sound - Will this be a quiet machine ( can deal with the noise, but quiet is better )
OS - Not familiar with windows 8, wondering If I should just go with 7 since I know it. And I've heard little rumors that windows 8 has some compatibility issues with some games.
Power Supply - Not sure how to pick the best one for a custom build.
