I am going to build my first gaming pc. Can you guys tell me if it is good and what would you change about it. I would play Cs:go,gta V..

CPU: Intel Core i3-6100 3.7GHz

CPU Cooler: CRYORIG H7

Motherboard: MSI H110M Gaming

Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2133

Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal

Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 950 2GB

Case: Corsair 200R

Power Supply: EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

Do I even need a cooler for i3-6100 or stock is fine ( I heard that it is noisy). Are these parts compatible? Does they fit in the case? What windows should i install and Is 500W enough for this pc?

Please reply

No CPU cooler is needed the stock one works. This leaves you with room to upgrade to 16GB of memory.

If you can fit it in your budget 2 upgrades in order I would choose. I would consider the above build but use a i5 6500 processor if you can fit it in the i5 will serve you better in a lot of games and in the future.

minus optical drive
minus hdd
minus 8gb ram

consider getting ssd 256GB+ and sshd 2TB+
consider 2x8gb dual channel ram

it depends on your situation but I just want you to prepare a bit further. 500-600 is somewhat a starters kit budget and I understand that, but the way I see it is if you are doing something fresh you want to do it once and not go back replacing what you just bought because you didn't know. I say this because this is your first pc. Try to think ahead than to think to save money now. If you truly just need a pc for those games you mentioned, then what zerk put together will work perfectly and give you room to work with later.
The new games that come out, you will need 16gb dram and a graphics card four times as powerful as 1050 to really feel the image the game devs want you to see. If that doesnt matter, you can get away with $300 on a used computer fully setup and ready to go on craigslist as people are turning over their old gaming systems for the new generation platforms

nothing is bad, you just need to decide what is best for you.

another option i forgot to mention is that you can achieve higher cpu speed by overclocking. but that is for another thread. That being said, the stock clock should be fine with the games you listed. gta v could be pushing at ur threshold though.. just bare than in mind.
