My first build, thoughts?

Guest · Sep 17, 2014

So I'm in the process of forming a parts list for my upcoming PC, and wanted some comments on what I have. Specifically, what kind of games this PC can handle, are the parts OK etc.

Thanks

CPU cooler- coolermaster hyper 212
Mobo- gigabyte bg5 hd3 (subject to change)
GPU-asus gtx 760
RAM-8gb corsair vengeance low profile

ssd-samsung evo 120GB

For the motherboard consider a H97.

500GB will not be enough for gaming, get at least 1TB to store your games.

Change the PSU as the CX series aren't great quality PSU. Try any other from tier 1-3. Here's the list to assist you out.

http://elitegamingcomputers.com/the-best-gaming-cpus/ go for the Intel Core i7-4790K its overclockable and much better,,

i'd also change the psu.. cx series are really poor other then that its a good gamer rig and will play anything

I5 is fine for me, dont feel confident to overclock, 1TB hdd is actually only £1 more expensive i just found so ill sort that, other then that thanks.
