first PC build!

[railfan]

hello! this is my first build, and I would like help checking compatibility and suggestions. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/dWvtrH I plan on using a dell 24" ultrasharp and a 23" touch screen monitor on a dell dual 24" monitor stand. I would love to hear your suggestions!!

What is this pc for? Gaming, movies, Internet? What?

Are you going to game?

[railfan]

I plan on using it to play simulators and general pc uses, word, internet and similar

Oh boy where to start.

 

Get a different power supply. EVGA G2 is an excellent choice.

Don't go with those hard drives. If you're going with 1tb, go with the WD Blue as it's $20 cheaper, or the WD Black. Why not go with a 2tb drive? WD Green would be my suggestion there.

You don't need the $9 wireless module. Your motherboard has built in wireless.

What's the purpose of the build? If it's gaming I'd suggest looking into a better video card.

Do you really need such an expensive optical drive? Seems really overkill.

What kind of sims?

its good.

would change the motherboard to Z97 since you need a bios update to use a z87 motherboard with haswell refresh

[Darth_Klein]

Well if your not gaming then that will be fine. With what ^^^ they say.

[railfan]

i'll get the power supply and hard drive and what would you recommend for the video card and optical drive?

Eddit: the card will need an upgrade

For the graphics card, I recommend anything after the 750ti. The 750ti is a really nice card for the money and everything after it pretty much kicks hiney

[railfan]

theres a lot of 750s but no ti version what should I choose?

[pikkie-mahn-mastah]

I have gigabyte's OC version and it works perfectly... http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-video-card-gvn75twf2oc2gi

[railfan]

http://pcpartpicker/p/R6YKkL try this

[railfan]

do this  http://pcpartpicker.com/p/R6YKkL

[railfan]

the last one works now

[asim1999]

why such a weak GPU in a $1400 build. A 970 would be perfect for 1080p (ur mobo costs more than ur graphics card btw)

[Mistersprinkles]

Haha. $230 mobo and  $150 GPU. Hilarious and totally not how you're supposed to do things.

You want a cheap mobo in the $130 region like the ASRock Extreme 4 or ASUS Z97A. Get yourself an R9 290 they're $250 in the USA now and it's a killer deal. Infinitely more powerful than the 750Ti.
