I am making my own PC and welcome all criticism and advice. I will be using it mainly for student work and gaming. Only using one screen, and not using a sound card.
Here are my planned parts:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97X Gaming 7
Processor: Intel core i5-4690k
Memory: G.Skill RipjawZ 16GB
Hard Drive: WD Blue 1TB Hard Drive
GPU: GTX 960 Gigabyte OC (WF/2OC)
SSD: Samsung 850 Evo 120gb
CPU Cooler: Cooler master: Hyper 212 EVO
Here are some concerns of mine:
Will these parts be able to work together?
How do I know which case to buy and if that case will fit everything. (I was thinking to get a mid tower one)
How do I know how much power these parts will use (so I can decide on a power supply)?
Are these the best parts for value out there?
Am I missing out on anything? (Besides the power supply)
How many fans do I need? Might buy some if the case I choose doesn't have enough.
Where is the best place to buy these items? People seem to like to buy items from New Egg, is there any better places?
Do I need a wifi card or does my motherboard contain something likes that?
I read this online (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/the-geek-blog/building-a-new-computer-part-1-choosing-hardware/)
"When buying memory, make sure that you buy memory that matches the memory standard… if the board only accepts DDR2 1066, 4×240 pin memory, make sure that you get memory that matches."
Don't really get it........ Does my memory match with my board?
If you are going to recommend me a different item to replace my current choices, please keep the suggestions in the same price range, and it would be nice if you explained why.
Thanks for taking your time to read this and please speak in simple terms, I'm not really knowledgeable in PC building.
