Need help with gaming pc

[iFishas]

Hi. All this week I was trying to build my first gaming pc. I got my MOBO, GPU, CPU, RAM, case, but its so complicated when it comes to ordering those parts. In UK it costs about 600 dollars, in UK about 500 pounds, in Germany about 700 euros.

 

Is this build worth buying?

" In UK it costs about 600 dollars, in UK about 500 pounds!

Did you mean Us and Uk instead of Uk and Uk?

 

Besides that, the pc looks great.

I am not sure how good Samsung hdds are though I have never seen a person use it in a build.

And I highly recommend sapphire 270(x) after seeing the temps of it in my brother's computer.

Get a cheaper CPU,RAM and motherboard and get a better GPU.

Isn't there a UK version of the PCPartPicker site?

[iFishas]

Can you suggest a case for it ?

Why overclock mobo if you have non-overclock CPU?

 

Go for Gigabyte G1.Sniper B5 as mobo, €70 (in Netherlands)

For RAM Crucial Ballistix Tactical BLT2C4G3D1608ET3LX0CEU (2x 4GB) because it's low voltage and it's cheaper €67 (in Netherlands)

And for HDD WD Blue WD10EZEX, 1TB €55 (in Netherlands)

 

Do you have a case or you need a case?

 

In the future I advise buy a SSD for windows or playing often games and games have advantage of using a SSD.

Search for case with ATX to match with motherboard and 2 fans for the air flow. One of the cheapest is Cooler Master N300 (closed) for €30 (in Netherlands)
