Hello,
I want to make a new PC mostly for online gaming (MMOs) and some photoshop work. I've done quite a lot of research into the components and used PCPartPicker which tells me everything is compatible but I would really appreciate some confirmation of this from a real human! I've never built a PC before so it's a bit scary.
My HDD and optical drives in my current PC are working fine so I plan to reuse these unless there is a burning reason not to do so. I am considering a SDD for the OS in future but don't think its essential to be done now.
The build then is this:
CPU - Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler - Noctua NH-D14 65.0 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard - MSI Z97-GAMING 5 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory - Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory (is it worth getting 16gb at this point?)
Video Card - MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V Video Card
Case - Fractal Design Define R4 (Titanium Grey) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply - Corsair CSM 650W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
Case Fan - Fractal Design SSR3-140-WT 56.1 CFM 140mm Fan (case comes with front and back fans, I'd like to add this to the lower front of the case to increase airflow from front to back)
Total: £853.31
Old components being reused:
Hard Drive: 1TB S-ATAIII 6.0Gb/s
Optical Drive: 22x DVD±RW DL S-ATA
Any reassurance that this is a successful build, or feedback and suggestions is welcomed.
Thanks v. much!
