Building My First Build, Thoughts?

Turo · Apr 30, 2014

I know you guys get these questions all the time, but I would greatly appreciate some feedback

. I am mainly wondering about the power supply, is the 750 overkill? I might want to do some expanding in the future, so weigh that in also.

Here is the build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3wN1T

Thanks for the response

. Why the asus over the pny? I like that it is smaller, but is it better?

okcnaline · May 1, 2014

The Asus is better because it has over clocking.

Well, so does the PNY. The Asus has slightly better overclocking, but I dont know if that will be noticeable. I was leaning towards the PNY because it had a lifetime warranty, but after I looked at it closer that warranty only applies while the product is in production. So, the Asus one does have a better warranty. Anywho, I am kinda liking the Asus one after looking at them both.

okcnaline · May 1, 2014

Oh, sorry, I don't realize that. But yes, PNY's brand-name to me isn't as good as Asus to me.
