My first build - the final build

Kirtonpole · Aug 23, 2014

Hi. For the past couple of weeks I have been trying to a build a computer and these are the components I have landed on thanks to multiple forums and research on what is the most effective hardware for my money. I just wanted some more reassurance that when I put it all together it will run smoothly, thanks in advance.

MotherBoard - GA-Z97-HD3 http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=...

GFX - Sapphire Dual-X R9 270x 2gb gddr5 http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/produc...

RAM - G-Skill 8GB Ripjaws X DDR3 2133 http://www.gskill.com/en/product/f3-10666cl9d-8gbxl-

Seems solid, but 750W is way more than you need. A reliable 550w is more than enough.

Spend the extra cash on a better graphics card or motherboard.

Novauke is right. The motherboard is great you should spend the extra money from the psu for a better gpu. Something like gtx 760, more powerfull r9 270x or r9 280.

He also has no cpu cooler. If you don't want to OC, get a 550W PSU, change the mobo & cpu. Spend the savings on a better GPU & SSD. Better gaming set-up.
