Need some help with a build

Jakobjump · Jun 1, 2015

Hi, I need some help with my build. I have linked a pcpartpicker build below.

As you can see I am missing a case, disc-drive, memory etc. and that is for the simple reason that I already own these components (something to note is that my psu is a 650W and that I have a midtower case).

I am just wondering if my choice of cpu, cpu fan, mobo, ram and graphic card is all right. I am very open to suggestions.

As a side note I am contemplating if I should get a corsair H100i instead of the 212 EVO, I am trying to save as much cash as possible, but can get one if it is necessary.

Thanks beforehand

I have my concerns on this part: Asus Maximus VI Hero ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
This is the old version, the new version is the VII

You can just add your old parts just to check for compatibility. Just find the names and add them to the list. I DO NOT suggest old PSU because they can cause shortages and are NOT reliable and would just recommend getting a new psu.

Dinos992 what are the advantages between the VI to the VII?

Jakobjump · Jun 1, 2015

Dinos992 :

Yeah, I know. But it is more expensive than the VI, I also have not had time to do the research needed to justify the difference in price/performance...

Samkrigs :

Thanks for the tip, will try and do that

Samkrigs · Jun 1, 2015

I MEAN ADD THEM TO PCPARTPICKER NOT THE PHYSICAL BUILD DONT DO THAT LOL

Jakobjump · Jun 1, 2015

Samkrigs :

Haha, understood that xD finishing up a history project, will add them to the list afterwards

Dinos992 · Jun 1, 2015

JQB45 :

If the OP already has the VI then there is no need to get the VII. I just mentioned that the VII is newer, that's all

Samkrigs :

Added them all now, could not find the name for some of them but the only part where there might be a compatibility issue would be the ram (I think).

JQB45 · Jun 2, 2015

Can you give us the manufacturer name, model name, model number of the RAM?

Samkrigs · Jun 2, 2015

Yes ^^^ also is it the pin config or is it size

Jakobjump · Jun 2, 2015

JQB45 :

Is it necessary? I am definitely going to upgrade the RAM since 4 Gb is apparently too little this day and age

JQB45 · Jun 3, 2015

Its only necessary if you plan to reuse the 4 GB of memory you already have.

Jakobjump · Jun 3, 2015

JQB45 :

It would be nice to, but 12 Gb ram is not necessary, I´ll be perfectly fine with 8 Gbs. How do the other parts look? Any suggestions that will make it better without drastically increasing the cost?

JQB45 · Jun 3, 2015

No I think you have a good build going. After you build it you can always try using the 4GB RAM module, but it may reduce overall efficiency if the RAM timings are not the same as your G.SKILL ram.

JQB45 :

Would like to thank all of you who have helped, especially you JQB45

JQB45 · Jun 3, 2015

Well thank you sir, I really do appreciate that. I'll remember that for sometime, if you really want to thank us all. Then please reply to this thread after you build your computer and tell us how you feel about the whole process.

Jakobjump · Jun 3, 2015

JQB45 :

I´ll try and remember that when I have built it! Still trying to find the money needed, though I have two summer jobs that will pay for it

So some time in july perhaps xD

JQB45 · Jun 4, 2015

Well I don't think you will be disappointed.
