First Build, Need Help

[TeaShark]

Hey, this is my first post so be gentle >.>

 

Anyways, I need help with planning for my first custom PC. I have a budget of about $1000, live in the U.S., and I have a few general specifications in mind.

 

1 Terabyte hard drive (at least)

Wireless capable

Windows 7 64Bit

At least 3.0 GHz CPU

A single, good graphics card

Single monitor

At least 8GB RAM

A silent cooling system or fan

 

I'd prefer a build with an AMD CPU and graphics card, and a silent/elegant build, but I can be flexible.

 

So far, this is the build I have in mind:

Why 16Gb Ram? What are you using this system for?

[TeaShark]

I plan to be using it for gaming.

[NUFCThomas]

16gb of ram is not needed, i suggest 8gb to start with and upgrade later

[TeaShark]

Alright, I'll make sure I edit that. Thanks for the advice!

A nice build, but like OP said, he needs an OS and a Wi-Fi capable machine

 

The build you made for him leaves him a nice leeway for an OS and maybe a Wi-Fi card, but he'd have to go over his budget... And you didn't even add a monitor...

 

The only stuff i'd change is:

- CPU (you don't need 8350 if you're going to OC anyway )

- And to save money i'd change to 280x

 

 Something like this:

I also added a cheap 1600x900 monitor, which is by my standards a bare minimum for gaming (and my personal favorite ), and i added an OS (You can always use an non-licenced version or a pirated version, at the least until you get enough money to buy one for yourself ), as for Wi-Fi cards, i don't know much about them...

 

And if it's really so over your budget that you can't pay, use some AsRock cheaper mobo (search for 970 chipset).

I'm pretty sure that 750k would bottleneck that GPU... Especially if it's not OC'd to the max

yea i think i make intel build

 

but IPS FHD is a must!

 you can upgrade ssd later, who cares about fast load times if you look at a washed TN panel

how bout this, overbudget?

Yeah, but if i don't have the money, i'd rather go with 1600x900 and save money for FHD monitor, after all it's far easier to upgrade your monitor than to change you GPU/CPU/PSU/RAM/Mobo...

Yeah You just buy it and plug it in To me it's far easier to to change HDD/SSD than to change some other parts  

 

And i don't have a lot of important data that i keep on that drive, so i can re-install Windows quite easily
