My First Build

[Barry Burton]

Deciding on these parts is pretty stressful, I'd appreciate some help. This is what I have so far:

I won't actually have the money for this for at least a couple of months, so none of this is set in stone. From checking reviews and such I think I would be very happy with this PC, I just need to know if I can get better for my money. My budget is about £650, I couldn't really go over that I think.

New shit will come out in a couple of months

wait till then.

Since you didn't choose an unlocked processor you should go with a H97 board instead of Z97.

There are at least 3 to 4 things I would change, but considering your budget I'm only gonna say that I'd swap out the Seagate HDD for this (http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/western-digital-internal-hard-drive-wd10ezex) WD one. WD are just much more reliable + some people say that Western Digital's customer service is far superior to that of Seagate's.

Heck! You have to wait a couple of months for new crap to come out? You must be awfully constipated. JK

You're probably gonna reply with a meme of some sorts aren't ya?

Come back in a couple of months and ask OP.  Things can change quickly in the pc hardware world.

[Barry Burton]

Yeah, none of this is completely decided, prices can change and new stuff can be released. For now though I'm just doing research and trying to get and idea of what I should be looking at. I'll obviously look more once I'm ready to buy.

I'm not planning to overclock my processor so that would be fine, but H97 boards seem to be going for very similar prices, so is there really any need? I'm afraid motherboards isn't really something I've done so much research on at this point.

Alright, I'll switch it out for Western Digital.

yeah no need for the extra money unless you overclock
