First build, need help because I got to order ASAP!

[Guest]

Hey guys, posted here in a while and made up my mind with some parts. The thing is I need to decide SSD, PSU and RAM ASAP because my friend is bringing me from the USA. Also if you guys have any comments from those sellers would be highly appreciated! The rest I'd bring alo from USA but not in a extreme rush! Thanks a bunch!

I'd get 750w evga g2, the cx series isn't that great. Also any samsung evo ssd is perfect!

Looks good, but you may want a cooler.  something like the Cryorig H5 will keep that i7 very cool.

Matching RAM

Newer SSD

More reliable HDD

Better GPU with an aftermarket cooler

Better PSU

 

You are missing a CPU cooler for overclocking. (If you aren't overclocking it makes no sense to pick up the 4790k)

You are also missing a case.

Yh id ditch the CX PSU and get either a seasonic PSU or an EVGA PSU other than that it looks great

[brob]

Memory is fine but doesn't complement motherboard colors. Consider Mushkin Stealth 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory which will also work regardless of cpu cooler chosen.

 

Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive would be a much better choice for ssd. If that doesn't fit the budget get Samsung MZ-75E120B/AM.

 

Antec HCG M 850W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply is a good psu choice if planing SLI. If not planning to add a second gpu Antec HCG-620M or EVGA 220-GS-0650-V1 would be better choices.

Gonna look out for that, might as well change. Corsair was an option here in Brazil, it was good for price comparison only then hehe, thanks

Awesome, I only went for the ol' realible big brand heheh gonna look for some review, but glad I can count on cheaper-as-good-as-brandy-ones options! thanks for the reply

Yeah, this build lists a part of what I intend to buy. Gonna get a little more about overclocking and such, but going to build something to last me a couple of years. My current pc involves XP, a brand new 2002 GPU and Dual Core

Amazing man! RAM seems a bit nicer, I was worried about that matching. SSD got me as well, I thought 840 was newer than 850 in some foruns, Idk why, but thanks. HDD is just to price comparison in my country, but it's nice to have a good reference, as well as the case and the cooler! GPU really improved, but I'm worried with the 550W PSU, I looked for cooler masters foruns, Linus videos and Tom's Hardware for some references and couldn't find the sweetspot for watts. Just wante to check this out!

 

Yh id ditch the CX PSU and get either a seasonic PSU or an EVGA PSU other than that it looks great

 

Glad you answered! I'm going for it, check those other brands, but what about wattage? This build is allegedly getting around 450W-500W according to online calcs, but GeForce says that 980ti min wattage goes up to 550W, so I'm slightly confused (and probably overreacting). Thanks a bunch!

Memory is fine but doesn't complement motherboard colors. Consider Mushkin Stealth 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory which will also work regardless of cpu cooler chosen.

Thanks a lot! Indeed I'll make up my mind about SSD, good touch on matching colors, I would'nt have considered that! My main concern is the PSU and is wattage, I don't really have the cash for SLI, I bought something for my vídeo editing and that's it. Do you think 500W-550W is the way to go here? Again thanks!

I'd get a650w minimum, because then you have a little bit of headroom.

500W is a bit tight, but would do. 550W is a little better but something 600W+ would be my suggestion. Provides headroom for overclocking gpu and cpu, psu aging, and upgrades like more hdd.

Looks decent.

 

The 120-G1-0650-XR is built by FSP the 220-GS-0650-V1 is built by Seasonic.

 

The GS has hybrid fan mode. The fan can be always on or the unit can run fanless until the draw/temp require active cooling, user switchable.
