Hello All,
My name is Rich and I am a long time viewer, new signer upper =]p. I looked for a "Introduce Yourself" section but did not see one so I figured I would just say hi here in my first question post, so......HELLO!
Basically I am not what you would call a computer "Newb", but I am far far from a "Expert" and when it comes to components and their specs/compatibility I really just do not keep up enough to be of any help to myself, so I was hoping a few people would help out a bit and give me some input on the computer build I just put together and ordered, I guess I should have gotten answer BEFORE I actually ordered lol, but if I made a big enough mistake to need to return something I can always do that, and if I find out over the weekend I can actually just change the order because Amazon is awesome hehe.
So basically I use to be a REALLY big Everquest 2 player, but when my Mom was diagnosed with Stage 3 Cancer, I kinda just gave it up which was about 2 years ago. About a year ago I really wanted to start to play some games again, but some how got sucked into console gaming and had a PS3, so when the PS4 came out I thought thats what I needed, now I have a PS4 and really do not have a game selection, so I moved back towards the PC for gaming, but a gaming computer built 3 years ago really isnt up to par to what games need today. Sorry for the long post, like I said this is kind of a "Introduce Yourself" and Question post all in one, so I will go ahead and get to the question part
Because of our situation with My Dad and I both being disabled and my Mom having Stage 3 Cancer we obviously have a tight budget, so i am putting together the computer myself and I need to know/would like to know if what I have ordered will all work well together, so like I mentioned my computer was built about 3 years ago, but my PSU, Optical Drive and Hard drive are all only a few months old and are useable, so I do not need to buy new of those, but my MB only take DDR2 Ram and I wanted to upgrade to 16GB of ram and upgrade my CPU. So basically I will list what I came up with and let me know if everything looks ok, which is going to go with my current Seagate Barracuda 2 TB HDD SATA 6 Gb/s Hard Drive, 600W PSU and my Opticals and I have a CoolMaster CPU cooler but I was thinking about getting a Corsair Hydro Series, just to have the ability for a bit more OC options. Thanks for looking, and thanks in advance for any help.
