Check my build?

Hey I'm building a PC for my friend, so I just thought I could have some of your opinions.

Looks good. He should really use ethernet instead of wireless though...

[dizmo]

For gaming or work?

That video card seriously cripples it if he's gaming.

Haha yeah he said that he isn't sure if he is going to be able to use ethernet. So he asked me to make sure it's wireless also.

That gpu, i would change it to a r9 290 or r9 280x because i see two monitors and i guess your doing a muti monitor setup.

[vern021]

Looks good but I doubt you can run stable in gaming with 2 monitors. Also, try to lower down the SSD then add a HDD to the build. You can also swap the keyboard to a corsair keyboard if you want to

[RyanTH98]

For gaming or work?

 Mostly for work. Maybe some light gaming like DOTA 2.

he plans to just use the second monitor as a extension.

I asked my friend about that, but he said he still has 100GB left on his 250GB computer....... The keyboard is his preference I didn't choose that for him.

I'd swap out the card for a 270(x)

They're not a great deal more and offer about double the performance of the 750Ti.

What does he actually planning to do with his PC?

[Enderman]

I would get an AMD cpu and a better GPU.

It's a work PC with some light gaming.

Better CPU is more important here.

then it should be good, although i would switch it out with a r9 270

[failblox]

I don't know about having a 750Ti power two monitors... Personally I think he should get one unless he's just using the second one for productivity, not for gaming, then it's fine. If he's planning to do a surround gaming setup - don't. Please. Just don't. Get a better GPU.

[RyanTH98]

would the power supply still be sufficient for an R9 270?

Yes he is just using the second monitor for productivity.

Then it's fine tell your friend not to use a Wi-Fi adapter tho

[Clyne]

would the power supply still me sufficient for an R9 270?

there's around 110 watts left, it should be good, if you want future upgrades or want to overclock something then a 500w psu or possibly 600w

Don't really see what's wrong with Wifi, unless he's competitively gaming or needs those really fast speeds. If you have a decent router you can get pretty good speeds using Wifi.

okay thanks.

[Clyne]

okay thanks.

sorry, you should get 500w instead, because if you have 430w psu and under full load, you can hit the 430w mark so it will be safer to get a 500w psu.

edit: you can get a 500w psu for 30 dollars but it's not modular

He said he might want to upgrade it later so I'm going to take the safe route and get him a 600 watt.

 

Here is the updated build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/TNqPvK

 

I don't think he will care if it's not modular.
