For your budget , i dont think that a SSD is all that important and i feel that a 2TB HDD shud be okay for now , u may wanna add an SSD later on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 3, 2015 Well I forgot what are my planned parts so here it is: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/JHdRMp can be much better. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($179.98 @ OutletPC) CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($28.75 @ OutletPC) Motherboard: MSI Z97 PC MATE ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($89.78 @ OutletPC) Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 Memory ($73.98 @ Newegg) Storage: Crucial MX100 128GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($62.99 @ Amazon) Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($51.85 @ OutletPC) Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 970 4GB STRIX Video Card ($348.99 @ NCIX US) Case: NZXT Source 210 Elite (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($43.99 @ SuperBiiz) Power Supply: Corsair CX 600W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($59.98 @ Newegg) Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer ($18.75 @ OutletPC) Total: $959.04 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2015-01-03 12:21 EST-0500 You could question my use of a Z97 board on a non OCable CPU but he future upgrades might then give him the abillity to OC, I saved about 70 dollars on the case at first to make room for other improvments. After everything I am actually under the budget so you can buy a better CPU cooler, more storage (256 Gb MX100 SSD/2Tb Seagate) or another case if you don't like the one I picked. Edit: Fuuu he needs windows well leave the SSD and then buy that later or if you are a student you can make a USB that installs windows and get this: http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Windows-8.1-Pro-for-Students/productID.288769600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 3, 2015 This is what I would do. It has all the advantages of all the builds and you can fit in windows for $1k as I didnt include rebates. The CPU is because you said you dont like to close programs yet want to game. The rest seems pretty self explanatory to me.
