First build, what processor

BudA63 · Jan 16, 2017

Hi, I'm doing my first ever build.
And I'm not sure what processor to get.

Here's the parts

Geforce Gtx 1050 ti 4gb
MSI H81m-e33
HyperX fury ram 2x4 GB
EVGA 430 W power supply
Western digital caviar blue 320 gbHDD

And a rosewill fbm-01 case any suggestions?

I am concerned your trying to build an LGA1150 (old) Motherboard system so I am going to suggest 2 setups. one your way and one I suggest
as you will notice the prices for your system are quite high for the LGA 1150 system, then compare to latest hardware and improvements I did for the same price.

Sorry for the late reply, but I only have a Budget of about $400 give or take.

Yes that's about it.

how about a slight change on CPU.
the I5- 4th generation are 200$/cpu... it will be more than your budget allows (unless your doing ebay purchase and take a chace on them)
