Oh, thanks for the swift response =)! Definately will take note of the storage. Also, how is the 212? Is it loud?

Really cannot recommend AMD, right now. AM3+ is an old, and dead, platform. It will be replaced with AM4, early next year. That is not a good quality PSU. GTX 960, at that price, is silly now that you can get GTX 1060, 3gb, for a similar cost. 120gb ssd will fill up, fast. 240gb + is recommended.

Do not get the GTX 1060 3GB he recommended ..only has 3GB which is very limiting . DO not get the 3GB model as BF1 and GTA V use more than that.

SparkVizla · Oct 7, 2016

Haha. The GPU recommendation is fine. This is a NON gaming build.

@logainofhades
Oh thanks for the Improvements. Will take this into consideration moving forward.

Mac070 :

GTX 1060 3gb is faster than a GTX 960 4gb. Yes the 6gb would be better yet, if the OP can afford it. The 3gb holds its own with the GTX 970.
