My first build 1400 budget. Will it work properly?

David Miller · Feb 12, 2014

Hello everyone, I posted a day or so about a pc build for gaming/music production/some video editing. Thank you all for your responses. I decided to try and put one together myself .

Will this work? Was wanting a flashier case but this will do. Any suggestions?

It all looks good to me. You could save a few bucks here and there, but overall looks like a great build. If you don't plan on overclocking much, the 212 EVO will do just fine, but if you want to push it really far, I would upgrade the CPU cooler.

I would go for GTX 780 at that budget

it is a revision of your build, with better price/performance parts selection
2x 4GB ram is enough for your purpose. i work with over 10GB raw .wav file everyday with 8GB ram. 2400MHz is now cheap
GTX 780
cheaper case, psu, and reasonable ssd price

Problem is Haswell doesn't like 1.65v RAM, and he might run into issues.

David Miller · Feb 12, 2014

Haswell?

That RAM will be perfect. Good build, will do you perfectly for what you're looking for

AMD Radeon · Feb 12, 2014

you didnt include OS in the last revision. so it would be $1500

David Miller · Feb 12, 2014

Actually you are but how do you select more than one solution?

David Miller · Feb 12, 2014
