Need advice and opinions in this build

OpChow · Dec 27, 2013

I've recently built a pc on pcpartpicker.com and i feel like it's a solid build for my budget. I'm completely open to criticism and suggestions to improve the build if you think i could. Also, I'm worried about all of the compatibility of the build. Is everything compatible? Will everything fit inside the case? And how should i go about the physical build when all the parts have arrived? Thanks!

Here's the build : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2qZ7J

Everything will fit and is compatible. There should be no bottlenecks between any of the components. When you get the parts, you can just search up guides on youtube eg. this (My personal favorite): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4Js2A1qdB8

Will everything i would buy in that build come with all those screws like in the video? Like, will i need anything else besides a screwdriver and those components? What about the whole thermal paste deal?

OpChow :

Everything you need for mounting is in the case, in a small cardboard box. You shouldn't need much more than a screwdriver, but watch out for static electricity by periodically touching an exposed piece of metal that is grounded, or your case. The stock AMD heatsink comes with thermal paste, you only need it eg. Arctic Silver 5 when you're installing a new cooler.

Okay, thank you! That took a huge load off my shoulders. Should i worry about a non-stock heatsink? And if you don't mind, how do i go about setting up the interenet on the pc?

OpChow :

If you want better thermal performance and/or you're going to overclock your CPU, then a non-stock heatsink will be worth it. For internet, you can either a. connect a cable from the LAN port (back of motherboard at IO shield) to the router, then install the motherboards firmware (the DVD that came with the mobo) or (sorry about forgetting this in my original post) b. get a wireless card (preferably one from Asus, Belkin, D-Link, or TP-Link for best performance) and install the drivers.
