You see I have a bit of an issue. I am 16 and plan on building my own desktop. I feel confident in my ability and choice of parts. However, my mom, being a concerning parent would like me to have my part list double checked by someone who is more experienced than I. The goal of this PC is to be under $1000 budget, be able to play modern games at ultra settings, and be nice and fast (I am sick off having 100% CPU usage on cruddy laptops!) So anyway if some of you could send me some feedback on this part list it would be highly appreciated.
Here are my parts:
CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.5ghz 8-core
CPU Cooler: NZXT Respire T40 CPU cooler
Motherboard: Asus M5A99FX Pro 2.0 ATX AM3+
Memory: Kingston Blu 8gb (2x4gb) DDR3-1600 Ram
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200 RPM
Video Card: Sapphire R9 270x Toxic edition 2gb
Wifi Adapter: Asus PCE-N10 PCI Express
Case: Coolermaster HAF 912 Blue Edition (Blue edition has a USB 3.0 and a Blue case fan)
PSU: Rosewill Hive 750w 80+ Bronze Semi-Modular (Such a high wattage because I plan on doing a dual GPU setup in the future)
Optical Drive: LG DVD/CD writer
Monitor: Asus VS228H-P 21.5" Monitor (1920x1080p resolution of course)
So after about 3 months of research I came up with this part list. Keep a few things in mind however:
1. I am choosing AMD, not Intel. May consider Nvidia for the GPU but I would prefer sticking with AMD
2. I know some of this stuff is a bit unnecessary, but a goal of mine is to have a bit of overkill, considering all of my previous computers have been underpowered.
So yeah that's pretty much it, please give me some feedback and if you have any suggestions say them as well. Also stating your experience would be helpful. (You know how parents are when it comes to that sort of thing)
