So this is my second build ever. Had an absolute blast building my first pc which was a prepackaged bundle. This one ive been buying everything on my own. I started collecting components piece by piece as they go on sale for a while now. I am hoping to have everything I need so I can build it before my last semester of college starts in a few weeks.
I need your guys input on a few things that are questionable. Mainly the PSU and the cpu cooler. I basically got the PSU for free, otherwise I would have wanted to go a bit higher on the wattage. Do you think that 430W will cut it? Judging by the wattage estimate on pcpartspicker I should be good but what if I want to do some very mild overclocking? Can that cpu cooler handle some overclocking too?
Also the case I just ordered comes with 5 case fans. The ones I added are not necessarily the exact ones ill have but it looks like it comes with 1 200mm and 4 120mm so I guessed on them.
Very excited to start building again. I hope going with the 4gb rx470 instead of the 8gb is okay too... How do you guys think I did for my first gaming build? Everything is still unopened so I can probably exchange something if I screwed up bad enough hehe. I ended up right around $600 for my final cost which is right where I wanted to be for my max budget. Thanks guys!
