Hello guys. New member here. I've been following tomshardware for some time, taking ideias and learning. So I finally decided to build my first custom gaming system. However im on a somewhat budget and my build is already a bit over it, not o big issue however, still within what I want to spend. Anyway I have some question and I would love some expert eye and advice. So basically the build is to run all the games on my steam library and hopefully run witcher 3 on high at least. My main doubts are with motherboard and psu. The system I'm imagining is this:
CPU: intel core i5 4690k 3.5ghz
GPU: nvidia geforce gtx 970 EVGA ssc acx 2.0 4gb edition
RAM: 1X HyperX 8gb 1866Mhz ddr3
Mobo: Asus sabertooth z97 mark 2
Case: cooler master HAF 912 advanced
PSU: cooler master G750M 750w
SSD: Kingston SKC 300S37A120G 120GB
HDD: Hitachi HUA 722010CLA331 1TB
How well are these parts work together? Any suggestion for a better/cheaper mobo/psu/case without compromising the system? Ill try to add another 8gb ram when I can maybe? What if in 2 years I want to add a second gpu? Will it work? The gpu doesnt have a backplate, and I heard about gpu bending and stuff in gpu's without backplate. Should I sacrifice the more powerful evga and go with a sturdy asus?
Is it hard to assemble the parts at home? If I ask to assemble at a store they will charge me 100~150 more at least. But my experience is with laptops only, disassemble, clean, put back together, but I dont know if a desktop is that easier.
Sorry about so many question.. but I dont want to make mistakes. Thanks in advance
