First time Builder

iceman9447 · December 4, 2014

Hey guys,

This is my First time attempting to build a decent computer that will(hopefully) play a mix of newer/older games(minecraft, Starcraft 2 WOL/HOTS, STALKER: HOC, WoW WOD) as stupid as this sounds, i really don't want to game at 1080p, i just want a computer that wont lag,bottleneck, or have graphical issues when playing certain parts of games(high population Area's/high graphical area's)

So, How did i do????

You don't need an 850W PSU.

What is your budget?

What is your Location?

Do you plan to OC?

Hyttech · December 4, 2014

Budget? Also I recommend an SSD

Shhuks · December 4, 2014

Yeah the 850w is super overkill. I think r9 270x is the best price/performance gpu unless you go to an gtx 970. The only other thing i think maybe a SSD for boot drive would be nice, but it looks pretty good for the most part.

What Hunter.Boy said, and you can easily game at 1080p witht that setup

http://coolermaster.outervision.com/ see for yourself how much power you will *about* need. This is a good resource that is usually pretty accurate.

My future plans for this build(assuming the base stuff checks out ok,and nothing major changes, is a little Crossfiring, a little bit more ram, and MAYBE a newer processor down the line.

The build looks good for now. Get this r9 270x instead though it's cheaper than the r9 270 you were looking at. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127761&cm_re=msi_r9_270x-_-14-127-761-_-Product
