First time build, need advise

Inteezyguy · Jun 14, 2017

Hi everyone,

This is my first time trying to build a PC. I have a pretty expensive list going on right now but am looking to build this PC mainly for gaming, maybe streaming and to do some editing. Can someone help me in giving me advise if I should upgrade/downgrade certain parts in order to save me a few bucks. I do want to use this for the next few years so upgrading a bit early isn't an issue for me if need be.

This is where I currently stand with the build parts. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DNBhwV

Thanks for taking the time and helping me

Thanks for that Mike, is saving me a few bucks right there.

Do I need both a power supply and a UPS? or would one or the other be fine alone?

Intel build does not support Windows 7.

Also, officially, AMD does not support Ryzen CPUs on Windows 7. You may be faced with problems getting USB ports to work.

Dang, Windows 10 it is then. Do you know about my previous question, do I need a power supply and a UPS or could I go with just a UPS?

You can just get a power supply
