Hello everyone.

I have been really interested in getting into pc gaming for a while and i have seen many forums on this website helping people like me to find the right components to get the job done. I am NOT experienced with computers but I want to change that by building my own pc and learning in the process. My budget is $700-$1000 but i would like to save money where i can.

My ideal build would be able to run most games with solid frame rate and good settings and i would also like to have enough room in the tower to possibly upgrade when the time comes.

Two more things i also want to include are enough/large enough fans that the rig doesn't sound like a 747 taking off after long game sessions, as noise is a concern of mine. And i also need the computer to connect to my wifi network so please include that in any suggestions.

Thanks for any and all help as it will be greatly appreciated.

I actually want to get everything from new egg and that graphics card is sold out could you help me swap it out for something else?


And it also looks like a lot of money is going towards storage what is the benefit from the two hard drives?

Well the benefit of having a ssd drive is awesome quick start up fast boot times you add your games to the mechanical storage drive the SSD drive is what you use for windows to install on when you use a SSD drive you wont want to change back its like having a corvette compared to a yaris ..

All part listed are compatible the motherboard might need an update if you get an older board but the m5a97 have usb flashback which make updating the bios easy.
If your worry about the board I own one running an 8350 oc to 4.5ghz and it run fine.
usb 3.0 is also backward compatible with usb 2.0
