New PC, can anyone take a look? (Moderate budget build)

Nuxeh · Mar 9, 2015

Hey guys, building my first PC, on a bit of a budget. Was hoping someone might take a look at my build and let me know if there's anything wrong, or glaringly un-optimized.

Thanks, you hunky beasts.

I find the case Corsair 330R overpriced.
Also you can get the Define R5 for £80 Define R5

I would get this psu over a Corsair CX psu:

You can do much better, for a similar cost.

That moment when you've just been making a build for 10mins and you realise "He just choose the exact same parts as me", I would second this build.

+1; An XFX or Seasonic power supply would also do great! The Corsair CX series uses poor capacitors so I would personally stay away from them.
