Is my pc build correct and balanced

Go to solution Solved by stconquest,

@Ethan supabass

 

I made a small mistake on the motherboard.  It was fine, but was missing one thing:  a USB 3.0 header.  You could use it, but the front USB 3.0 port on the case will not be USB 3.0 compliant.

 

 

I switched it up a bit.

 

$1037 before taxes:

Thank you but about the case; the cheapest one that found is only 5 dollar cheaper. and the case that i got is better for it's price. sorry.

 

Oh no worries, that's why I said it was a minor point, style counts as much as functionality, good luck with the build

It is what will work.  It has everything you need.  The reason it is cheap is that it is an entry level 1150 motherboard.  There is nothing fancy about it.

Thank you. and maybe i'll add the ssd if I actually have extra cash

It will run everything.

 

Not every new game will be maxed, but if you turn down shadow resolution and AA, you will have a great gaming experience.  Aim for 60+FPS.  Textures will always be high/ultra...at least with current games out there now.
