Hello everyone! I am building my first computer with a budget of $530USD including the OS (Preferably Windows). I'm wanting some second opinions where I can get the best parts for the money that fits within my budget. Don't mention about the 4GB of RAM I will be upgrading that a bit after the build is completed. :) Thanks for your opinion! Part List: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Pointbox/saved/qbQcCJ

That's a good build, but what is the point in the 80mm fan?

Forgot to take to take that out. xD Thanks for noticing. :D

Not bad, but I always recommend waiting and saving and getting better stuff, that way you wont "waste" money by having to upgrade later on down the road (or at least not as soon). I went cheap with my first build, wish I hadn't gone cheap with my mobo+cpu, instead I could have waited and saved the money and ended up getting a better gpu instead of buying a better cpu+mobo. Still, it'll likely whoop come console ass.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Getting a 750ti instead of a 750 could be worth it becouse of the 2 gb ram
so you will handle games better with higher textures and resolutions.

Do you really need the optical drive? You can use the Windows key and you can download drivers without the disks. You can put more money towards a better GPU if you don't get it, like the 750 Ti.

Get the GTX 750 Ti (you can get one for $119).

I think I'll go for the GTX 750 Ti.

Where did you find one for $119? Lowest I see is $138.
