Hello there, I'm thinking about building myself a brand new and also my first PC as a lot of my friends have done before. I'm not planning to do any videoeditting or hardcore gaming, however I'm building the PC in order to improve the gaming experience especially with lighter games such as CSGO. For now I made a part list: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/KZwp3F
CPU: I heard that going for the i3-6100 with only 2 cores isn't bad if you are building your first entrance build, however I have been looking at the benchmarks where the i3-6100 was compared with i5s such as i5-6400/i5-6500 and using the same GPU the performance of fps rate was nearly doubled. I also forgot to mention that my budget is £750 so this is probably the main reason of going for the i3-6100, but on the other hand I could go for a better CPU and upgrade by adding a GPU later on. I would like to now your personal opinnion.. Thank you.
Motherboard: It's one of the mb with quiet good rating and recommendations and also has built in WiFi which I will be using instead of getting some kind of Ethernet cable from one room to the other.
RAM: Also has quiet good recommendations. To lower my budget I was thinking that for now I could go only with one 8gb stick and add the other one if needed or able to afford. However if I can buy 2 sticks for only about £60 and one stick for £40 it is logical to but 2 sticks at once than paying £80.
Storage: Should I add anything? Well I think the price of SSDs will drop in a year or 2 so for now having greater storage is a better deal even if I have an external storage and 240gb of SSD would handle the OS and many other Softwares and Games.
GPU: I would like to hear recommendations from you and your personal opinion.
PSU: SeaSonic 450W or EVGA 430W PSU? EVGA is cheaper by £20-30 also so this could be worth saving or investing if it provides the same thing as SeaSonic. However SeaSonic is 80+ gold which seems why it is more expensive but by googling out I haven't found the difference so if anyone of you know what it is so special about it let me know. Thank you for reading if you got up to here.
Case: Looks pretty nice and fits perfectly into my room. It would perfectly fit into my shelf next to my desk and it would also have enough airflow around so it shouldn't be a problem.
OS: Why do I have to pay £100 only for the OS? Using Linux isn't the best solution either I think. I used Linux before but only for experience and I'm not fully familiar with it.
Monitor: Looking for anything similar or either cheap.
Keyboard: No idea... Probably something Wireless to leave my desk clear even if for gaming you should probably get a better keyboard or either mouse... What do you think? Hmm..??
Btw do you think I could possibly use it as a server (eg. file server) and run it parallel with games.
PS: Sorry for all that boring text. Just want to get most out of it...
