First Gaming Computer Build

Spyingforvancouver · Apr 27, 2014

Hello, i am quite a noob to building computers (first time) and i am looking to build this particular one http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3zFyl since this is my first time i was just wondering if anybody had any suggestions on what to change, or if theres any compatibility issues. Feedback is very appreciated!

I would bump the PSU up to a 600watt, and pick a better motherboard.

Motherboard suggestion: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131942

This motherboard has more features, and is more up to date, so it will be upgradable for a longer period of time.
