My First PC

Peteski1111 · October 17, 2014

Hey, I am building my first PC and I have spend a great deal of time educating myself about the world of PC's. I have a parts list that I have decided upon but am not entirely sure of whether or not everything will work as panned. If anybody can look at my PC part picker link (http://ca.pcpartpick...ki/saved/pFtkcf) that would be great. The build will set me back quite a bit so I want to be careful and do my research before diving into this headfirst. Tip's, opinions, and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Please change your font color to automatic so those of us using the dark theme can read it

Anyways,

Change the CPU out for an i5 4690K,

Mobo out for something such as a MSI Z97-G55 SLI (I have both of these),

212 evo for CPU cooler,

and 280x for a GTX 970 (if it fits your budget),.

http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/c78CMp how does this sound to you for about 100$ more?

And just download windows, you don't have to buy any additional case fan Core V51 has 1 front 200mm and 1 rare 120mm and i think 1 200mm at top, check thermaltake;s site for more info!

EDIT: if you want you can take a Coolermaster 212Evo and save some money!

EDIT 2: ignore storage if you want i just put something there to compare prices

EDIT 3: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/2VWwCJ with 212 Evo instead of nepton and with your storage but without windows ~1382$
