First pc build check list

EpicFailForYou · Dec 8, 2015

I'm sure this happens a lot, but I was just hoping I could get some final input on the parts I currently have because the last thing I want is to ship parts back that are incompatible or not even get all the parts I need. Any input would be greatly appreciated! The build is meant to be for decent gaming, but doesn't need to be anything too special, but I would greatly appreciate if anyone has any input on parts missing, incompatible, or maybe just suggestions on better parts, thanks so much for the help!

Also, including the monitor and other accessories needed, I would like to keep it at around $900 if possible.

Far superior processor
Cheaper RAM
Better GPU (beats the 960)
Higher quality case
Much better quality PSU
No need for the Anti-Virus, use Avast and Malwarebytes. Both are free.
Cheaper, but just as good monitor.

Thanks for all the input, I really appreciate it beyond words! I do have a question with the CPU cooler, does one come automatically with the CPU I order? I'm sure by now it's quite obvious this is my first build haha

Yes, this processor comes with the stock intel heatsink. Since you cant overclock, you dont need a better cooler (though at times it can get a tad loud)
