Hi Guys

Sorry for the use of euro, I am from Ireland.

I've been thinking a lot about building my own custom PC (first time). I am a product designer and gamer, here is a general list of programs (and games) I use/play regularly: Solidworks (3D Modelling), Keyshot 4, Adobe Suite CS6, League of Legends, Steam games (Nosgoth, CS, DayZ, Rust) and I will probably play some higher spec games in the future (BF4).

My peripherals only incl a monitor as I already have a good mouse & keyboard and sound system.

So here is my build at the moment:

MoBo: MSI 990fxa GD65v Am3+ - €110 (£88)
CPU: AMD fx-8350 Vishera 8 Core 4GHz - €140 (£112)
GPU: GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 770 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 - €300 (£240)
Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1600 - €60 (£48)
Main Storage: Samsung 840 Evo 250gb SSD - €110 (£88)
CPU Cooler: Cool Master Hyper 212 Evo - €30 (£24)
Case: Cool Master K380 - €50 (£40)
PSU: Thermaltake Smart Standard 650W 80 PLUS Bronze ATX12V 2.3 - €50 ((£40)
Optical Drive: €15 (£12)
Wireless Adapter: €20 (£16)
Monitor: Asus VH238H 23" - €125 (£100)

Total: €1010 (£805-£810)


Could I get any constructive feedback for parts, cheaper alternatives for anything or reasons why which parts won't work out? Thank you so much!!!!

If you want to overclock the cpu, you should get a custom cooler eg http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cooler-Master-Hyper-212-120mm/d... 25 quid

Get a good quality PSU from tiers 1, 2a or 2b of http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-su...
eg XFX 650 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/XFX-Edition-Bronze-Certified-Wi... 71 quid

Wireless - N15 (single band) or N53 (dual) are good.

Check if your gt770 will actually fit in the case.
