Modding and Game Design Build Feedback

[jay9297]

Hello Everyone,
So I have recently decided to try and get into either modding or game design using Unreal Engine 4, but I currently don't have a proper rig to do so. (Writing this on a school laptop, only PC I currently have.) I have picked out some parts for a potential rig, but I wanted to get some feedback from people who probably know this stuff better than I do.
Here's the link: http://

P.S The link works, I don't why it is only displaying the http part

Thanks in advance for your time.

Get an SSD too, at least 240GB.

I don't know a whole lot about SSD's, so could you explain why I should get one?

Because it's much, much faster than any HDD. Everything starts and runs faster of it.

Ok, I was also wondering if I should stick with the 960, or should I just pay a little extra and go for the rx 480

If you are going to develop mods for games, you'll need a system that would run them comfortably. I'm not sure that Rx 480 is any better than 960 but at least has proper DirectX support. Just get one that has better support for the particular game engine.
You can Google "gtx 960 vs rx 480" and see what each one does best.

From what I read, it seems like the RX 480 is actually a bit better than the 960, so I might end up going with the RX 480. As far as SSD's go, are there any that you would recommend?

So, I decided to change up a few things. Any feedback is appreciated. Still unsure on which SSD I should get.
