First ever gaming pc build

j_fettke · Jun 25, 2017

I am planning on doing my first ever pc build and wondered if this would be a good setup as a whole! I wanted to know how well this would do for future gaming too. I am completely new to all of this so I apologize if I am missing things or completely ignorant on things I need! Thank you! I will also be following Paul's Hardware overclocking for this build which he put on youtube in April!

I would replace the NEX psu with a g2/g3 or p2/p3 EVGA. Nex is lower quality.

Highly recommend against a small gpu like that. Plenty of room in that case for a full size one like the Gigabyte G1.

How long do you think this setup would last me in terms of future gaming?

Several years - I normally buy at the XX70 level GPU and replace it about every three. I replace the CPU every second GPU so about 6 years. I'm due for a CPU soon...

Okay I did some tweaking and some research and thought maybe it would be good to go with the 1080 since I would be running at 144hz on that monitor and wanted to know opinion on that?

Sure! More gpu is good

. Lot of money but should be a great system.

Thank you for the help! Yeah but its nice to have something that will last a while and play amazing! I have forever played console and have lately realized all the greatest things about gaming belong to the PC!
