Built my first ever computer!

[Purre]

So i just finished building my FIRST ever computer. The parts are:
AMD A10 6800K
Asus GTX750Ti
Asus F2A85-V Pro
Corsair CX600
Kingston HyperX 1600mhz 2x4gb
Fractal Design Define R4 (white)
Samsung 120gb SSD.
Its a nice "budget" build and suites my gaming needs well.
What do you guys think?
And please dont be too harsh
Will add pictures later if desired.
*EDIT* Forgot to add. Cooler Master Hyper Evo TX3.
The cable management is what it is right now. I will make it better later on.
*EDIT* It looks alot cleaner now, no?

**EDIT** I updated my GPU, to an Asus Radeon R9 280. Much much better than the 750Ti!

Welcome to the LTT forums.

This is the build logs section so pictures would be nice.

Congratz Brah. Welcome to the Legion.

Oh!   and Welcome to the forums!

True! Took some quick pictures with my ipad so the quality isnt great...

[Purre]

Oh!   and Welcome to the forums!

Thanks man!

Thanks man!

I don't get a thank you?

[Purre]

I don't get a thank you?

Thanks to you too!

Gratz Man!  

 

I would turn the cooler around so it helps airflow, but thats just a personal touch

 

Welcome to the forum and I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do!  

 

Building a PC is awesome!  Don't forget to download and play games, also.  Don't forget to run a few stress tests, but who likes running stress tests?!? esspecially right after you've built a computer!  I recommend Planetside 2 it hammers your cpu and cpu and gets your temps as high as they can go and stresses your cpu!  Its a great stress test! 

 

Oh and, *cough  cough* the Fractal Design Define R4 can have a ton of cable management room, you might wanna put it to use

Thanks! I might turn it around when i get more thermal paste. Seem to have lost the on that came with it...

Ive played several games already, for instance COD Ghosts runs at high settings on my setup without any lag. So does Watch Dogs.

And yeah, i will set the cables better when ive got time. Mostly just put everything together quickly.

that cable management is... woah

you might want to work on that for better air flow and better appearance

[Purre]

Okay so here's some things that you could've saved A LOT on. 

 

AMD A10-6800K - If you were buying a GPU, you could've gotten the X4 750K or the Pentium G3258 and saved ~60 dollars.

 

Asus GTX 750 Ti - Why get a discrete graphics card if you bought an APU? If you were going to still get a GPU with your APU, you should've bought a 2GB Radeon 6670 to run CrossFire.

 

If you were to get one of the CPUs I recommended above, you could've spent the extra 60 dollars you saved from the CPU and bought a R9 270X, or an R9 270 for the same price of a GTX 750 Ti. 

Corsair CX600 - The 750 Ti does not consume much power. If you are looking to upgrade that GPU in the future, then that was a good decision. 

 

Anyways, solid build. The case does have a lot of cable management space and if I were you I would definitely fix those cables up.

You have good solid points. But i dont have answers to them <.<... And yea, i got the 600w because i will be upgrading in the future. Possibly GTX770. And as i said above, i realize theres alot of room in the case, but i just threw everything together quickly and i will be doing better cable management when i have the time.

Shocks me too just by looking at it. Might do it tomorrow. Will post pictures once ive done that!

Thanks! Fingers crossed that they arrive! Also, heres the link! http://pcpartpicker.com/p/J3sZXL

I remember my first build, I was just glad it all worked so don't sweat the minor details about the cpu/gpu choice. It will work just fine, and welcome to the forum

I put the cables better. Also, what cooler would you recommend for the case?

the cables ook much better now, altough that GPU has a strange place for the powerconnector.

Yeah... Linus said the same thing. Would be better if it were on the other end
