Hi, I'm building my first computer and was wondering if someone with a little bit more of knowledge could review my build.
Here is my part list.
Approximate Purchase Date: Within the next month or so
Budget Range: $800 - $1400
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Internet Usage/Downloading, Gaming, Movie Watching
Are you buying a monitor: Yes - But it might be something I purchase a few weeks later.
Do you need to buy OS: Yes (Windows 8.1)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: The cheapest and the most reliable.
Location: City, State/Region, Country - Southeast Kansas. Don't think there is really a big computer parts store nearby. Most of my purchases will be online.
Parts Preferences: Some things I don't care either way with SSD/HDD, RAM, Optical Drive, Monitor, and Keyboard/Mouse.
Overclocking: Not right now, but do I have room to do this later?
SLI or Crossfire: Not right now, but do I have room to do this later?
Your Monitor Resolution: No preference. Something that looks good and is cheap. The monitor on my list seemed fine, but any advice is appreciated.
Additional Comments:
I got a cheapo optical drive just for me to load my current games onto. I was planning on buying a higher quality one later, unless you think the one I picked will do me fine?
I know the case is probably overkill. I'm buying this now to hopefully be able to use this in future builds. Thoughts?
I also plan to upgrade my RAM in the future, but I feel 8gb will be fine for right now.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Need a computer and one that can run demanding games without sacrificing gameplay or graphics.
If I have under or over selected parts or if there is some glaring incompatibility mistake I made, please let me know! I've tried to do a lot of research on everything and I think I've found the mixture of things I want.
Thank you!
