First PC Build. Thoughts Or Inputs?

hayabusa_08 · Mar 30, 2014

So this will be my first pc build. I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice on my build, if I'm missing anything, and if its all compatible. Any input would be great! Thanks! Here is the link of my shopping cart in Newegg. http://secure.newegg.com/Shopping/ShoppingCart.aspx?Submit=view

go to pcpartpicker and you can link builds from there
Not from your shopping cart in newegg.

Copy paste the items you purchased because no one can see your shopping cart except you

Ok Sorry about that. Give me a few mins and I will sort it out.

You should go with an intel build. say an i5 4670k
For that sort of money you can also fit in a second graphics card if you trim edges.
say dual gtx 770

By edges i mean bluray player.
Have you ever used one?

hayabusa_08 · Mar 30, 2014

Yea I have a ton of blueray movies, I would definitely use it. Would the dual 770s perform that much better, like a noticeable difference. Also if I went with the 770s what power supply would you recommend. Also thanks for looking at my build.

sunder25 · Mar 30, 2014

The psu in your build should do fine.
Right now, pretty much any game is playable on high-ultra with a 770
Adding another will be great for futureproofing and making the most demanding of games a breeze.
What sort of display resolution will you be using?

hayabusa_08 · Mar 30, 2014

I don't have a display yet. I've always had laptops for gaming. Any suggestions?

A gtx 780ti would be another option. Would still go for an intel though.
Monitorwise- depends on your budget.

hayabusa_08 · Mar 30, 2014

Love that build! I think I will go with that! Oh and the Intel is not out of the picture. I will give it some thought before i choose amd. I really appreciate all of your help.

If you want to play games , atm no game will use 8 cores, so at least half the cpu just idles.
And /core performance is significantly higher on the i5.

hayabusa_08 · Mar 30, 2014
