New PC (For Christmas)!

[Guest]

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/b77Hpg I have NEVER built a PC before, I have watched almost every build guide to know what im doing I DONT Plan to change the list unless its urgent Ex) The 1000 Series comes out Other than that I plan to leave everything the same, I want to OC Because of the h100i, So What kind results should I get.

EDIT

---------------------------------------------------
I have a Windows 7 Install disk 
And sorry if it came out a bit rude

For Xmas?  Wait to see what Santa brings you.

[RevoltTrain]

Budget, purpose, do you have access to a Microcenter or a Fry's?

[Guest]

Nope :L I literately have no computer stores within a hundred mile radius Unless you count Staples as one... And seeing I haven't got anything from Santa in 2 years My parents made me come up with this.

A H100i on a FX6300 ?  :blink:

 

That 32GB SSD is a waste of time.

 

Also why 12GB Ram ?

[Johannes_Lazor]

Looks good.

Maybe use 8 gb of ram instead of 12, It aint needed unless you are doing video editing and such.

Im not sure about ASRock though, i dont have any experience with the brand so i cant really say anything about them.

He might want to get into overclocking without many heat limits.

A 32 gb SSD is enough for the OS and stuff on the desktop,

He know what he wants and need the best.

A H100i on a FX6300 is just a waste of money. Something like a Coolermaster 212 Evo would be fine. He could put the savings towards a FX8320.

 

A 32GB SSD will fit Windows on it and not much else. If He is using the pc for gaming, then it means running them off a mechanical drive.

[Guest]

I just threw in 12GB for future proof, Ill just need a 4GB kit to complete 16GB, Just in case if I do get into video/ photo rendering  And I really just want to build off of this system. Hence the reason I chose a 74 dollar case. I really dont want to change anything internally as much SO I went with the h100i And Ill just overclock the processor if I need more speed. 6 cores should cover me well, For a while anyways. Graphics card If I 980TI comes out ill buy that the following year. If I need more space, Ill just rip the casing off of my External hard drive and plug it in seance I wont be using my laptop as much... I also saw this video  And this is what made me choose the processor :L

He could do that, But he chose the other.

There is not any game that Has to be on a SSD, A SSD only helps with the load times so i wouldnt be too worried.

If you want to get your 6300 to 5Ghz You need a Better motherboard, There is a risk of frying the motherboard if you are unlucky.

Get a Motherboard that atleast is on the $90-$110 range.

[Guest]

Dont worry im only gonna go to 4.3-4.6

Nothing has to be on the SSD. You could build a pc without one if you don't mind loading times. I would say if you are putting one in though, then at least go for a 120GB.

 

 

I would suggest something like this.

corsair PSU, 8gb ram, no ssd, better mobo and you should be good to go. Better mobo can really save your bacon if you want to do any overclocking without risking damage to your components. I assume you want to overclock a fair bit, otherwise h100i is pointless

[Guest]

Ok For the record I WILL overclock the Motherboard will be fine And Im not concerned about the PSU

excellent build man

 

 

 

@Ronnie76

 

skip the 6300 and buy the 8320 B) (8 cores for the win)

 

save some cash on the ram and get 8GB of 1600mhz minimum (you can add another 8GB if you need in the future)

 

32GB ssd is to low for an OS, get a 64GB ssd or skip the ssd friend (some old OS use even 50GB after the updates)

 

you can do it 

[Guest]

I dont really need 8 cores, im running 2 right now and I only use one. 8 cores is really un necessary RAM speed doesnt matter to me as I have always been using 1333MHz

[Probenja]

Ok For the record I WILL overclock the Motherboard will be fine And Im not concerned about the PSU

We are trying to give advice, if you don't want to get a better build then why did you post it in here? We will recommend a cheaper cooler, better cpu, better psu and less ram. If you want it to be reliable when overclocking you will need a good motherboard and psu.
