[LinoLear]

I'm thinking of building a new budget gaming pc, here are what am im thinking to build, need inputs from you guys on the parts.

Notes : The Graphic Card i pick are just as reference, because the brands i can get my hands on is not listed on pc part picker ( digital alliance ) im thinking of using Digital Alliance GTX 970 Jetstream as my Graphic Cards. Digital Alliance is Indonesian brand, as far as i know they just using Palit as Manufacturer then rebrand the products. So googling Palit will give the information needed about the Graphic Card.

Also the mobo are not v2, just the common MSI H81M-E35.

Go for a cheaper power supply, go for the v2 or else you might need to perform a BIOS update, go for a cheaper ssd like the Crucial MX100 and do you need 16gb of ram?

Looks good to me, if you want 16GB of RAM then stick with it. A lot of people are going to tell you to drop it and get 8. Honestly, games are likely going to require more memory so if you get it now then you're set for later.

Stick with MSI, GIGABYTE, Asus, EVGA and all those other guys. Digital Alliance is even more obscure than Palit or Elsa, and that's generally not good news for quality. Asus have the quietest cooler, while EVGA has the most insane overclock.

An SSD like a Crucial MX100 or an Adata ASP600/610/900 would work better, price-wise. Corsair doesn't make memory, their SSDs are just rebrands of other companies' SSDs, but because they're Corsair they have that lovely "gaming" price premium.

8GB would be cheaper, but you may as well get 16. You won't get any tangible performance increase at all until much much later when games become really, really demanding, but I find the extra capacity is nice to have just in case I need a RAMdisk to cache for an SSD or something.

EDIT: You also want a better, cheaper power supply. Thermaltake is alright but... meh, this one's too expensive especially since it's only 550W and 80+ gold. If you're not dead-set on modularity (even though it is terrific to have) look up the Antec Earthwatts Platinum series. Cheap(ish) power supplies with 80+ Platinum. Running one myself.

Digital Alliance or Leadtek Winfast Graphics, are the only thing i can get my hands on, without needing to buy it from out of town.

Any thoughts on the motherboard?

Anyway thanks for the input on ssd and psu.

The motherboard looks good. You're not planning on overclocking so it should be fine.
