Is This A Good Build?

JustSandhuIt · Jul 25, 2014

There is no GPU because i am waiting for the GTX 880. This computer will be used for occasional gaming with an xbox 360 controller. I plan on using this computer for atleast 4-5 years.

It is a very good build, and it will last you quite easily the time you have in mind.

Thanks, do you think it is worth the $3000? It will probably be around $3300-3400 when i add the GTX 880.

This is a very, very good build especially for gaming if you are waiting for the 880, the only thing i recommend is that instead of a HDD you get another SSD because they load the data immediately and have a much bigger life span and if something happens you can recover your data with less effort than a normal HDD

Definitevly worth it

It will run all games on High to Ultra settings at least for another 3-4 years, without lagging and with around 60-90 FPS on the newest most challenging games

are you sure you want apple keyboard/mouse? there pretty plain, i dont know how well they would actually work with gaming

I wanted this HDD because it has a high capacity. I have one SSD for Windows and then the other SSD is free unless i decide to install Ubuntu later on or something

I'm not going to use the Apple Keyboard/Mouse for gaming, those are just going to be for normal use. I'm going to use a xbox 360 controller for gaming.

Yea i kinda thought so, but i was just recommending it

I would also get a mechanical keyboard and a gaming mouse for the best gaming experience

I really like the look and feel of the Apple Mouse and Keyboard. They are just going to be for normal use. When i game, i will be using an Xbox 360 controller. But thanks for the advice

i really appreciate it
