New pc build. Can everyone double check behind me?

Chris_812 · Nov 21, 2016

So here are the parts I've chose minus the windows 7, I should be able to find it cheaper. Total build even with that windows 7 purchase is 470ish bucks.

1. Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-01 Mid Tower Gaming Case

2.LG Electronics Internal Super Multi Drive Optical Drives GH24NSC0B

3.Western Digital (WD) Caviar Blue 500 GB (500gb) SATA III 7200 RPM 16 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Desktop Hard Drive for PC, Mac, CCTV DVR, NAS, RAID- 1 Year Warranty

4. MSI Intel H81 LGA 1150 DDR3 USB 3.1 Micro ATX Motherboard (H81M-P33)

5.Intel G3258 4 Pentium 3.20 GHz 3M Cache 2 Core Processor (BX80646G3258)

6.EVGA 430 W1, 80+ WHITE 430W, 3 Year Warranty, Power Supply 100-W1-0430-KR

7.ASUS STRIX GeForce GTX 750TI Overclocked 2 GB DDR5 128-bit DisplayPort HDMI 1.4a DVI-I Graphics Card

8.Corsair Vengeance 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory

I plan on overclocking the processor to around 4ghz, since I've read it's capable of that stock cooling. I've read good reviews about 750ti overclocked. Figured I'd give it a go considering the lovely price. My main question is with the optical drive and hard drive, they are going to work with that Mobo, right? Also the case being a mid tower should do me just fine, right?

So without a 65 dollar windows 7 added in that build is only 400 bucks.

Yes, the optical drive and the hard drive will both work with the motherboard. The mid tower case should be no problem.

Here, I've built my personal preference for $400. I used some of your parts, as well as my own.

No problem! If you feel nothing on that list is useful, I won't take it personally. xD

Chris_812 · Nov 21, 2016

I like that you were able to get extra cooling at the same price. My build is specifically built around being able to overclock that processor.

RylieDetchon · Nov 21, 2016

Chris_812 :

No problem! I threw the 1050 in for fun. Not sure if it's practical to you, or if you need it, but I feel the 1050 is a step up from the 750 Ti.

CTurbo · Nov 21, 2016

The 1050 is much much stronger than the 750ti for around the same price. I would not put much into overclocking that Pentium. You would end being able to get the vastly superior i3 for about the same price.

Chris_812 · Nov 21, 2016

CTurbo :

Yeah I can easily go with the 1050 over the 750. What version i3 is comparable at 65 bucks though? I don't plan to go crazy with the over clock. If I can get somewhere close to 3.8 to 4ghz I'll be happy.

Try the i3-6100. Dual Core 3.7GHz base clock.

This comes in about $15 cheaper than his g3258 + 212 Evo build
