A first time build needing (quite a lot) of advice!

Ekaterian · Aug 24, 2014

I am planning on building a desktop PC in a few months and I need some advice on finishing my virtual build. Any help and input is greatly appreciated. In addition, here is my uncompleted build.

Do you have a budget at all? And is it alright if I posted an Intel and Nvidia build?

Ekaterian :

Well, don't you need a GPU? And maybe a PSU? And RAM. I dont think just a mobo,cpu case and cpu cooler can run everything.

Akhil Potukuchi :

As he said in the post it is an uncompleted build.

Akhil Potukuchi :

I am asking for input on the rest of the components.

My budget is around $1,000, and if you would like to post an intel build, go right ahead!

Got it I'm sorry. I misunderstood you.
Here's an Intel build for you : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DszLdC

And here's an AMD build with a much better cpu cooler and a better GPU than the intel one: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/bJjDQ7

WOW!

Even my Amd build would beat his build, simply because it has a very good cooler and you can easily OC it upto 4.8 GHZ. And you have a much much better GPU which will help in games.
