All looks good. What's the 80mm fan for?

All looks good. What's the 80mm fan for?

Nothing wrong with a lil' extra cooling

 

[mastrom101]

It's not very balanced. Can you give me a budget?

 

[l89]

if u can give ur budget we can make a better build as u r spending more on the cpu but for a gaming build more money has to be invested on gpu

 

[Damodhar Thota]

It's not very balanced. Can you give me a budget?

Around 675 dollars

i prefer haswell and a window case

rear fan

rear fan

I assumed you were going to put the 120mm there like most people. Where's the 120mm going? Top? I would advise using the largest diameter fans the case will accept.

For $675, an FX CPU would be a much better choice. Do you need to have Haswell?

Your getting a capable CPU with an amazing GPU. You also get plenty of games included as a bundle. I couldn't fit an SSD in, so i chose a faster hard drive. The RAM is great quality RAM. I chose a more expensive case with fans included. The PSU is a great deal and is semi modular. The second build has water cooling for the CPU, which should allow it to overclock well.

That's because PCPartPicker takes all the prices from different stores to get you the cheapest components. It's usually a better idea to just use that then getting ALL your parts from amazon.

 

[clutchc]

+1^
That's why they call it 'parts picker'. Finds the best prices for your build.

 

[mastrom101]

Yeah, you want to buy from a few different sources if possible. You can buy from the same retailer, but you end up paying a premium. I personally bought from one retailer, the extra ~$50 wasn't worth driving to several stores.

I can buy from other sources but i have amazon prime which means discounts and free shipping

 

[mastrom101]

Okay, some of the parts chosen are heavily discounted/rebated. If the Amazon price is much higher, just swap out the component for something similar.

Here's a newer build i made with PC Part Picker. What do you guys think?

a 32 GB SSD is a bit of a waste on an AMD rig. Either pick up a 64 GB SSD, or buy a Hybrid Drive.
