delfin420 · Jul 20, 2015

Hello Guys!!

So I'm Saving Up For My First Gaming PC That I'm Going To Build (I've Been Using A Gaming Laptop Because I Needed A Laptop For School)

So I'm Really Nervous Because Its My First Build I Just Wanted To Know Your Guys Thoughts On My Build. Please Leave Any Help Down Below On Heat, Watt, Ect and If You Think It Would Be Decent. I Kinda Want To Keep It At Around $1100 (AUD) (About $810 USD)

Also I'm Thinking Of Getting A SSD For OS Booting But Not Sure If It Is Worth It If Thats All Its For Is It Worth It?
Thanks In Advanced

Not a bad start, a few issues, you could save about $10 by buying Gskill Ripjaws. Also, definitely get a different power supply, you can find the PSU Tier list here on Tom's Hardware, Definitely recommend a Tier 2 or 1 PSU for this build, here's the list http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html. Also, you have a standard motherboard with an unlocked (overclockable processor) IF you don't plan on overclocking look into the 4590, or 4460 corei5, if you are overclocking you will need a Z97 Motherboard along with a CPU cooler.

on the case it has no cd rom bay..do you know how to install windows and your programs from usb stick??
when buying a power supply it the wattage and amps on the 12v rail you have to watch out for. it better to buy a slightly larger then needed is wattage unit. it give you some over head when it game loaded and it ages. after the first week in aug the intel cpu prices may change when the intel skylake drops.
