Is this build good? Any ways to cut down on price?
Last response: in Systems
Hi, thank you for taking the time to read my post. I have never built a computer before.
I was confused as to which parts were good, so I asked my friend and this is the build he recommended. However, I would like a second opinion before I buy it.
I plan on using this computer for gaming, particularly games that use the source and unreal engines.
My max budget is around $520 USD, however I would like to get it down without skimping on performance. If anyone could help me it would be much appreciated.
Here's the build:
Case: NZXT Source 210 S210-001 Black “Aluminum Brush / Plastic” ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Motherboard: MSI FM2-A85XA-G65 FM2 AMD A85X (Hudson D4) SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
Power Supply: SeaSonic M12II 620 Bronze 620W ATX12V V2.3 / EPS 12V V2.91 SLI Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

You could get a little cheaper power supply i think 620 is a little overkill for what you are doing.

I would also suggest buying ram clocked at 1866 Mhz To get the most out of your processor if you dont plan on adding discrete graphics.

Well, I am planning on upgrading it over the years. Is it still overkill for that?

I actually didnt mean to post that second power supply link. If byupgrading you mean adding another gpu for most of gpu's 500watts is still plenty. guess it depents how you want to upgrade it.Ok thanks. And for having RAM at a clock speed of 1866MHz, is this good?

Oh, and the reviews for the first PSU say it fails after the first year often. Is it just their luck or should I be wary of it?
