Is this computer compatible and do these pieces fit into the case

xXMatt_TitanXx · Dec 29, 2015

So I am new making desktops and I was wondering how good of a build this is and how it will handle games like Counter Strike: Global Offensive. I also have another $150 to upgrade, what would you invest it in? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/BrhY3C

make an intel i3 or i5 system.
Also get an 250gb SSD for o/s drive (also to run a few of your current games)

here - $30 cheaper & shitload better http://pcpartpicker.com/p/MPrwxr

get a gtx 960 video card. the one youve chosen is woeful.

This.
It will be good for all games (not at max but very competent, if not enough framerate - drop multi-sampling levels, ambient occlusion, foliage density/quality, shadow to medium, etc. Keep textures always at max).

Only install games that you are playing, dont install your whole game library. If you need more media storage for movvies and music etc add a HDD, that 500gb you had listed or a 1TB WD blue drive for $60~.
Keep o/s/, games & programs for the SSD, and slow media for the HDD

You can always add another stick of same RAM in future if you ever need it. 8GB is enough for most games these days.

If you dont need a DVD drive you can remove it.

The PSU is good quality but it doesnt support C6 & C7 cpu states. (not important). Just disable C6 & C7 in BIOS under CPU management /options section
