First Time Build need Opinions.

TheRealBrad · Feb 12, 2017

So I have never built a PC nor do I have much knowledge when it comes to PC parts so in short I'm just curious if all of these parts are compatible and also wanted to know if their was anything I could enhance while I am at it. The build will be for gaming mostly, I would like to get 1080p at 60 fps or better at maxed settings. I am trying to stay around this price, Thank you in advance for any and all help.
Build is as follows:
-CPU: Intel I 6500
-MoBo: MSI B150M MORTAR Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
-RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory
-Hard Drives: 1TB Wester Digital blue and a Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
-GPU: XFX Radeon RX 480 4GB RS Video Card
-Case: Thermaltake Versa N21 ATX Mid Tower
-PSU: EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX

I would get a better psu for sure. Maybe cut back to 8GB RAM and upgrade to the 8GB 480 or 6GB 1060. Or keep the RAM and scrap the ssd in order to get a better psu and gpu.

By better PSU do you mean bigger than a 500 watt?

No I mean better quality. 500w is more than enough.

I see what you are saying now. Like I said still pretty new to all of this so I appreciate the help. Do you have a specific brand that you would recommend? Honestly I just picked one that was pretty cheap.

I'd probably get one of these.

This is what you get if you spend $30 extra.

I had the Thermaltake Versa case at one point, the airflow is severely impacted by all those drive cages at the front. Build quality isn't great either, very flimsy feeling plastics and aluminum. Fractal Design Or Phanteks or NZXT make some great open interior designs. Look for a single 5.25 front bay. 500W bronze is a fine power supply. If you can stretch your budget, go for a straight 500gb m.2 ssd build, no hard drive needed; I mean a 16gb usb flash drives are big enough to hold like everything that's not games.
