1st build ever

[David Yenchocic]

So this is my first time building my own PC, and I'm very excited. I have a budget of around $800 and this is that I've been looking at. Any tips are welcome, like I said this is my first build so I'm open to pretty much anything. 

 

NZXT Phantom 410 Mid - White
 

Intel i5 4670k

 

MSI Z87-G45 Motherboard

 

Samsung 840 EVO 120GB SSD (OS and BF4)

 

I'm going to use my 1TB HDD from my current desktop

 

Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB DDR3-1600 Memory Kit

 

Corsair CX600M 600 watt Modular PSU

 

That is what I have been looking at so far, I'm still looking for a video card, input on that would be much appreciated. I plan on using this rig for workspace/gaming.

 

Thank You.

Looks great to me.

As for a GPU I suggest you just get the best one you can afford.

[Real_PhillBert]

Dual graphics with a 750Ti has some impressive performance for the price.

No, im using microcenter because I have a store near me, so I can just go pick the stuff up there.

Thanks I appreciate this a lot! Do you have any reccomendations on a GPU to keep me in or around my budget of $800?

[MuffinTopMike]

Maybe a GTX 760, I have a friend with one and he says its great and he can nearly play all games maxed.

if you are willing to wait for shipping, you can get a cheap 760 and it is linus certified.

Not worth it, no warranty. 

[David Yenchocic]

[David Yenchocic]

Yeah I'd rather have a warranty, but do you think a GTX 760 will be good?

[EpicGeekonFire]

Yes it can run almost anything fine on Max.

The GTX 760 is a great mid-priced card. I have the Asus DCII GTX 760 (Like the one Linus is selling) and I love it. It runs cool (Always under 70 Celsius at max load + OC) and it stays nice and quiet and I am able to play every game I have tried on the Max settings. A GTX 760 would be a great choice for you.
