Will this build work?

[Luke470]

Check my build out http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3sfZK I want to know if this will work and everything goes together. I plan on upgrading the gpu I know it isnt very good

Drop the CPU cooler and just use the stock one for now. The motherboard won't let you get any real overclocks anyway.

Change the PSU to an XFX550. WAY WAY better quality.

Don't expect to play any games until you get a real GPU in there.

Ok Ill drop the CPU cooler I dont plan on overclocking anyways and I'm gonna stick with the Corsair I've heard its very good and consistent

 

[tiny voices]

No, that Corsair is not great at all. The CX units are made with crummy low quality capacitors that easily fail. There are threads here all the time with ruined computers due to CX PSUs. For Corsair, the ONLY good models are the Seasonic made ones: HX,AX,TX. The CX,CS,RM units all use the crap capacitors. Stick with Antec, XFX, Seasonic or the Three Corsair units I listed.

Ok this one http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9 ?

 

[tiny voices]

Yes, that is an AMAZING unit.

 

[Luke470]

Ok is there anything else besides the GPU that I should change?

 

[tiny voices]

The motherboard is low end but you aren't overclocking so that's fine. The GPU is the weak spot and you won't really be gaming until you get one. Don't even bother getting the gt630 because the motherboard has built in video. Save the money up to get something better that can actually run games.

 

[Luke470]

Ya I'm planning on getting this http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-PCI-Express-Displayport-Graphics-GV-N660OC-2GD/dp/B00942TK8I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1397350556&sr=8-2&keywords=gtx+660 once I get the money and I think I want to get another blue LED case fan for the rear just cause they're not that expensive

 

[tiny voices]

For $189 you can get a better GPU than a gtx660. An r9 270 or even a 270x can be had that cheap.

Don't even bother with the gt630. Just use the integrated graphics until you get a good card.

 

[Luke470]

what GPU would you recommend I'm trying to get the best I can

 

[tiny voices]

What is the budget?

 

[Luke470]

I could get this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3smRo and then later upgrade to my GPU but for the GPU I'd like to spend $150-$200

 

[tiny voices]

Get an r9 270x for that budget.

 

[Luke470]

Ok thanks for all of the help so what im going to do is get this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3smRo and once I save up enough get the r9 270x

 

[tiny voices]

sounds good.

 

[Luke470]

Could you link me that GPU for $150-$200 I'm having trouble finding it :/
