I think you forgot the most important thing for a gaming pc: the Video Card! Also, what is your budget going to be and which games are you going to play?

Hey bro, are you sure that case is good for my gaming pc? It just looks budget o_0 but if it's good enough I'll go with it, can you just tell me if it's good or not? Thanks and also does it matter what brand of 270x I get? Like i wanted to get the Gigabyte 270x but you put down Asus, so is that better or...?? Thanks anyway for help

Ahmadjon · Apr 13, 2014

Asus card clocked higher and it's a bit smaller than Gigabyte one, Samsung 840EVO SSD is much better than Crucial's M500 SSD, GSkill's Ripjaws X is more reliable RAM than Kingston's RAM and last I think it's not worth to pay 100+ on 200R case, WD blue also more reliable than Seagate drive. I used my friends drive and it was so loud compared to my WD blue drive, and last I saw many people who have had to RMA Gigabyte cards.
