Need help with the selection of PC parts

Billys11 · Aug 31, 2016

I am very soon going to build a gaming-heavy multitasking rig and i would like your thoughts and opinions on my build. I have never owned or built a PC before as I always went for laptops, as they are more convinient. I made a partlist on PCPP on my own with the help of a friend who already has a custom built PC. Please check it out and let me know of any changes I should make.

- the PSU is oversized. 550W should suffice, 650W is alright.
750W would be enough for going SLI
850W is just more than you need

overall it's a nice build

I honestly don't know how good that liquid cooler is though

For your first build I would recommend not overclocking. It isn't needed to game at high settings or to get high levels of CPU processing power. Something more like the non-overclocking, single GPU setup below...
