0 stars. Two not very enthusiastic thumbs down. I will revise this once you actually post a build. xD

Revised response posted below.

Esdaname · Jan 10, 2017

Sorry about that lol

weberdarren97 · Jan 10, 2017

Esdaname :

Use the [bb] option in PCPartPicker for better formatting and compatibility here on Tom's. Your formatting doesn't really bother me, but I'm sure someone will complain about it...

weberdarren97 · Jan 10, 2017

My revised response: Four stars. One not very enthusiastic thumbs up.

What I see that looks good: CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, etc.

What I see that I don't agree with: Power supply (it's terrible quality), no SSD, wasted money on an optical drive?

Your power supply needs to be switched for a higher quality model.

Did you know that modern SSDs don't have a problem with long term data storage? You can run your whole system with just an SSD for years and not have a single problem. I recommend starting with an SSD of at least 240GB, then adding an HDD when you need the extra storage.

When was the last time you used an optical drive and not a USB stick? Unless you need to burn software disks, I generally think of optical drives as a waste of money.

weberdarren97 · Jan 10, 2017

I forgot to mention that your CPU cooler is cancer. Its mounting mechanism is a series of recurring headaches.

I recommend the Hyper 212X over the 212 EVO, it eliminates a lot of the headaches that come with the 212 EVO.

As for the power supply, compare my recommended units.

Esdaname · Jan 10, 2017

Yes I will be using the opictal drive lol and I don't see an option for the sdd

Esdaname · Jan 10, 2017

And which power supply do u recommend

weberdarren97 · Jan 10, 2017

Esdaname :

Click Add Storage and you'll be presented with a list of storage devices to choose from. You've likely been here to select your HDD. This list is not entirely HDDs, there are SSDs in this list as well. Just search Samsung 850 EVO and select your desired capacity.

They're about equal, but the G2 will be quieter under load.

Esdaname · Jan 10, 2017

Ok but if I want to stick with Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive would that cause any problems

Esdaname · Jan 10, 2017

If you'd like to know why mine looks much more organized than yours, I clicked the [bb] button in PCPartPicker when copying the code. You must have clicked the button that looks like a box with a side panel being taken off.

If you wanna do some real things and not this... do yourself a favor and purchase a Quattro with a Xeon CPU.
This build is laugheable to a profesional build with no offense.

Esdaname · Jan 11, 2017

Weberdarren97 thank you for your help and ramlethal yea thats too expensive for my budget lol maybe later on

Esdaname · Jan 11, 2017

Ramlethal is it atleast good for starting off

weberdarren97 · Jan 11, 2017

Ramlethal :

For less than $3K? How about you put one together for me and we'll see who gets to laugh at who. Note that I was using a leash of about $1.5K because that was around the price of his original list.

I just realized how offensive that could sound... I was trying to get you fired up to challenge my build. I hope I didn't offend you.
