Hello All,
First of all, thank you for taking the time to read this and add your input. I don't know a lot about building a PC, but I have always wanted to do this myself and obtain a system that can do a bit of everything.
To Note, I am not really looking for something very upgradeable, nor do I think my gaming needs will get much beyond the odd bit of SC2. With that said, I don't want to be restricted by having a PC that is underpowered in any way. So for my purposes, I wanted a cool looking computer that can game, multi-task a bunch of work, and be used for a bunch of random stuff.
I have an external Optical drive, so I don't want one on this build. I am going to list all of the parts that I am going to buy, I just need to make sure I am not missing anything, and I have the right parts that will work together well. I don't know if I have chosen the right power supply, or if this thing has enough cooling power, or if there are better choices for my parts!
Parts list:
CASE: Fractal Design node 304
MBOARD: Gigabyte H97N-WIFI
CPU: Intel Core i5 4690
RAM: G. Skill DDR3-1600 (PC3 12800) 2x8GB for a total of 16GB
SSD: Crucial m500 256GB
HDD: Seagate 1TB 7200 RPM SATA III
GPU: GeForce GTX 660 WINDFORCE 2X Graphic Card
PSU: CS Series CS450M Modular Power Supply
OS: Windows 8.1 (DVD)
DISPLAY: samsung s27d590p 27in widescreen pls Monitor
KEYBOARD/MOUSE: Rapoo Advanced Wireless Keyboard and Mouse
Thanks so much all! Assuming this looks good I may try my hand at putting it all together tonight.
