Is everything in this build good? I will be using this build mostly for gaming. I might sli in the future and my budget is around 800. If theres a better case or motherboard out there for the same price, let me know.

super-overkill on the PSU. go with the 650W version, will be plenty for 2 760s in SLI in the future.

 

you'll also need to update your CPU when you crossfire. A FX-6300 is fine for one 760 but will bottleneck an SLI setup.

750 wat power supply was over kill and also make sure that 120gb is all you want remember the Operating System will take a huge chunk of that

yea he did it is a samsung 840 evo ssd

[xjohnny3589]

overkill PSU, you'll need a trash drive and I would go for the EVGA 760 over the MSI

[piggykid1]

also you could get a case for cheaper but if you want that one because of looks then stick with it

[Anthony10]

You need a hard drive, I would lower to 650w for SLI in the future, should be more than enough and save you money.

I don't know if you care about aesthetics, but your build is not very color coordinated..

 

Other than that looks good!

yes I agree with this change my pcpartpicker i posted on this topic and add a 650 watt

he has an SSD there already

OS only takes like 8GB or something

thats not huge, only 1/16

[Anthony10]

a 120gb ssd, and a SSD is not a hard drive (hard disk drive), it is a solid state drive. He will not be able to download much with 120gb.

he didnt even say how much he is downloading

if he is using less than 120gb on his drive right now, why should he need more?

... you're basing a lot of your argument off of "if"s..... If he's using less than 120gb, then good for him go ahead. I am trying to help him by stereotyping him as a typical gamer, who usually download multiple games which requires more than 120gb of storage most of the time.

more like 30-40 also isn't your strongest point is it? 120/8=15

[Sheldon_King]

You are actually looking at closer to 20GB for Vista, 7, and 8(.1). I would seriously suggest getting a larger SSD if the OP wants just one drive, or a 120/128/250/256 SSD and a 1+TB HDD for mass storage.

[darkn3ss99]

Sorry guys. Should've mentioned i've got a hard drive already. For the case, im thinking about getting the phantom 410 instead of the full tower to save 20bucks. Is that a good idea and dang didnt expect so many replies in such a short time. First time posting on this forum.

Not bad. Needs a Hard Drive and an OS. Other than that, seems good.
