You could do the either: Install 1 500GB SSD in your laptop and the other in your PC (for extra storage or maybe as a boot drive) Raid both 500GB in your PC and put your 250GB SSD in your laptop and the included HDD with a cadd

Then, i'd say spend some more bucks in your cpu, otherwise the gpu is going to be bottlenecked, just swap the pentium for an i3 or even an i5

Hi Deus Regum, I found a good guide on how to paint keyboards here: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=44191.0

Wow, looks pretty good. Good thing to know that a father teaches his son about computers I really like how you did that cable management in a case like that

I guess you should stay with your current CPU and Mobo, unless you want to upgrade to z97. Personally I wouldn't do it, I'll just wait 2-3 years to get a new cpu that performs better

Hello You can either get this build

I agree with you. It's better to get the 970 and then in the future you could get another one for more performance

Assuming your budget is $500, then get this build PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i3-4150 3.5GHz Dual-Core Processor ($103.98 @ OutletPC) Motherboard: ASRock H97 Anniversary ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($71.99 @ SuperBiiz) Memory: A-Data XPG V1.0 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($54.99 @ Newegg) Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($44.99 @ Amazon) Video Card: Sapphire Radeon R9 270X 2GB Dual-X Video Card ($139.99 @ Newegg) Case: NZXT Source 210 Elite (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($47.99 @ SuperBiiz) Power Supply: XFX TS 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($48.98 @ Newegg) Total: $512.91 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2015-04-11 16:24 EDT-0400

OP What's your budget?

Your build is pretty decent, if you're not going to overclock, then change the cpu to an i5 4460 and save some bucks Also add an SSD, either a Samsung 850EVO or a Crucial MX100/200. Anyways Welcome to LTT and enjoy your stay. (we do not bite )
