$1500 first build. (And first post)

Tokega

Hi everybody!

I have been following Linus for quite a while now and since I recently got a job I want to build a new computer.
Therefore I am looking for tips and tricks, helpful comments, insights or anything that might make the job a bit easier(It seems daunting).

I will list the components(They are from a Danish website, but all the information is copied from the retailer websites, so they are in English) and if you have any ideas to what could be improved or if there is a component that are cheaper that would work as well, I will gladly read them.

Looks good, but you can get an 840 EVO for money savings and you probably won't distinguish the difference. Get an aftermarket cooler: http://www.computersalg.dk/produkt/1062901/evga-geforce-gtx-780-superclocked-w-acx

Welcome to the forums! Please use PCPARTPICKER.

PCPARTPICKER as a tag or what?

I really like the big 750D, but I guess I don't really need it ;-)

DO you think the 450D would work? I think it looks better than thee 550D

*EDIT* : Ah ok, the website pcpartpicker ;-)

Thanks!

The 840 is around $100 cheaper, so that makes sense if there os no discernible difference.

And thanks about the GPU tip. It's only a bit more expensive, but nothing that will make this build impossible.

For SSD's anything at or above the 840 EVO is plenty fast IMO.
