Got a Question

[Nuklear]

Exactly how stupid is it to attempt this build for a first one? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nbTByc

 

have installed everything but a cpu and/or cpu cooler when it comes to hardware at one time or another but only done upgrades never built from the ground up. Also its been over 10 yrs since I was completely up to date on computer hardware so want to make sure I don't fubar something thanks to old information on quality, misunderstanding on components etc...

use?

[Sklo]

unless you do 24/7 video editing, this rig is overkill

[SuperPug]

I cant believe im saying this... but that PSU is a bit overkill

[Nuklear]

use?

Gaming, with some web crawling, light video editing, word processing and movie/tv show watching being

well I didn't want it to wind up barely reaching min requirements for a long time... I take it I over did it?

32Gb ram is too much. 16GB is enough.

I would rather get a 980 than 2 970

Get a crucial mx100 512gb instead 2 Kingston SSD now.

The "i" version is not a necessity.

If he is into competitive game g, then there is no need for an ips panel.

[Rheinwasser]

agreed.

 

alternative would be 850 g2 from evga.

If this rig I too much feel free to make suggestions on how I should change the partlist as I am smart enough to ask for advice from more knowledgeable people than me before buying too many parts... I only have the SSD and Case at the moment...

yes a bit, take a decent i5 and a single 980 and you will have high frames on ultra setting with higher than 1080p resolutions.

Cut the psu, reduce ram to 16gb, adjust storage as you wish...

If he is willing to spend around 150$ on a psu then corsair ax860 80+ platinum would be a very better choice.

NOT so future games are going g to utilize more threads so it's better to go for an i7. Another reason to choose is that he will be doing g video editing g and who knows if he changes his mind and wants to do heavy video editing?

you plan a rig for what you are plan to do with it not for what you might want to do.

And those requirements basically fit perfect on an i5

get windows on g2a.

 

I was under the impression green's were crap for gaming?

 

can't change cases, already got the haf x

 

I prefer to stick with a psu that 1 is from a company I know and 2 got good reviews from several sources I trust...

 

I have seen those go wrong too many times edit: psu's that is

 

I have been told their is no such thing as too much cooling so why wouldn't I want as many fans as I could get?

 

what is g2a?

 

as for an i5 vs i7 didn't want to have to overclock to get decent gaming out of it. Shrug I have never done any overclocking but saw enough of what it did to chips in the 90's to be worried if I tried it I would have rather expensive paperweight

 

for the record don't have anything against overclocking and would do it if I was sure I wouldn't fry my computer... and I have now officially been awake for 35 hrs

I sorry if I came off rude or argumentative the other night didn't mean to, so I am sorry if I offended anyone... but does anyone mind if I ask what's up with all the kingston hate?
