Hi All,
I am building my own computer for the first time. I've reviewed a lot of the articles here and talked with my brother who has built some computers before so I was just hoping for a bit of a sanity check that there are no errors someone else may catch for me.
CPU - Intel i5-4460
MotherBoard - Asrock Z97 Extreme 6
Power Supply - Cooler Master RS-500-PCAR-D3 - Old power supply from my old computer.
Graphics Card - EVGA GTX 560 Ti again another old part used
Case - Rosewill Throne
Solid State Drive - ADATA Premier Pro SP600
Hard Drive - Western Digital WD Blue WD10EZEX
RAM - Ripjaws X series (2 X 4 GB)
I plan on upgrading some of the stolen components as I move along. I believe I have a system that will run well and be upgrade friendly. My main concern is more about compatibility. Especially with BIOS compatibility as it's just something I've never done before. I think it's right but I'd like a sanity check from someone a little more knowledgeable than me.
I looked on the cooler master site and had this full build estimated at consuming 405 Watts so I felt my 500 Watt power supply would be adequate for now.
Thanks a lot,
