Advices and Opinions for my first build

[looy99]

Am planning my first build, and i believe i have everything, except for a component to connect to a wireless network, as i dont know what component that is. i would like to know if these parts are compatible, and if so, would it yield a good gaming computer?

Tower Case
Processor
Motherboard
Ram Memory
Hard Drive
Power Supply
DVD Burner
Monitor
Keyboard
Mouse
Windows OS

I am also looking to later add this into my build, i wont add it in immediately simply due to price
Video Card

So, any and all advices and opinions are greatly appreciated, as this is my first build. Also if anyone would be so kind as to tell me what component i need in order to connect to a wireless network, thatd be very great. Thank You ! ! !

Well, since I don't know what you need the build for, I can't tell you if it's good or not. However I can tell you some general stuff like that your CPU is locked so you cant overclock it. If you want to overclock get the K version(4790k). Also, that is one hell of a RAM. Unless you are going to do very heavy edit and graphics design work, 16GB is more than enough for everything and you can invest the money towards something else. To connect to WiFi you can do two things. Get a network card like http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16833166021 or you can change your motherboard to one with built in WiFi card like http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16813132117

I will look into the network card, thanks for the link. And i personally dont 100% understand what overclocking is, so im not sure if thats necessary. i plan on using this build for gaming, as well as 3d and graphic arts

Overclocking is not something difficult, you increase the performance of your gpu and cpu by increasing their base clock(gpu) and frequency mhz(cpu). Since you tell me that you will use it for gaming, as well as 3d and graphic arts you can benefit from the i7-4790's hyperthreading which is the main difference between an i7 and a good i5 which I was going to suggest to you. Now for gaming you really need a graphics card so I suggest that you cut down your RAM which is TOO much and make it 16GB which is again more than enough, only 8gb is needed for gaming but since you said you are working on 3rd and graphics 16gb is your choice. All in all I suggest that you go for 16gb ram, the i7-4790 if you are REALLY into 3d and graphics so you can benefit from the hyperthreading(if not, i5-4690 and 4690k are better) and you can also cut down the budget of your tower case, get a cheaper one and put the money you save from it and from the ram(+ a little extra if you wish) and get a graphics card because with the integrated graphics of the CPU you can't play any good games.

You really don't need that RAM. It's overpriced and 32 GB is too much for your usage.

That is a much better solution.


The power supply is ok but you should refer to the PSU tier list to see the highest quality power supplies.

The monitor you picked is good for gaming but has terrible color reproduction. Try this

Don't bother buying that cheap gaming mouse. DPI isn't an indicator of quality at all. I would recommend you buy something from either logitech or corsair. It doesn't matter if it's their cheapest model mouse, it'll still be better than the one you linked.


You need a graphics card, either a R9 280, 290, GTX 970, or GTX 960 (depending on your budget).
