OMG, after so long planning out my first ever build its finally becoming a reality. Bought my first component today, the gpu of my computer. Ive thought about this more then anything. I would like to thank everyone who has helped me get to this point with there helpful advice, guiding my along this.

 

Okay enough of that flattery bs my build:

 

OathBreaker

 

GPU - HIS Radeon r9 280x 3GB IceQ x2 ($147.80) *BOUGHT*

CPU - Intel Pentium G3258 3.2GHz ($49.99)

CPU COOLER - Cooler Master Hyper TX3 ($17.99)

MOTHERBOARD - Gigabyte GA-B85-DS3H ($53.98)

RAM - Team Eleite Plus 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 - 1600 ($57.97)

STORAGE - Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200 RPM HDD ($47.98)

PSU - EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 750watt 80+Bronze Semi-Modular ($49.99)

TOTAL 

$465.68 (USD)

$317.88 (USD) - amount left after GPU purchase

What do you guys think? I know i may have a bottleneck in the CPU with the GPU i bought but at that price? wasn't going to pass it up. I plan on upgrading to Intel i5 or an i7. Im also planning on overclocking the CPU to about 4.5GHz and maybe overvolt it also, haven't thought that second part out yet. But i think that will help lighten the possible bottleneck

 

Anyways everone please comment telling me what you think and what kinds of gaming performance ill be getting with it.

wow! Not bad, yea there will be a bottleneck, but hopefully not too much. PSU is overkill, even I have only a 650w!

Maybe if possible get a cheap ssd? After replacing the PSU with lower wattage?

 

Also, I don't know about the ram, maybe someone else knows if they're good..

Very nice system

Even if you overclock it, you're going to get frame dips in a lot of games. I've got one, it's not too bad but there are more noticeable performance hits than with my i7 (or for that matter my old i5.) If you're not playing AAA titles, you'll do fine. Otherwise, I would have suggested an AMD FX 6300 or waiting until you had enough to buy an i5. And you won't be upgrading to Broadwell, only H/Z97 boards are confirmed to have support for it.

 

Otherwise, it looks pretty solid.

Idk about an SSD yet but that will most defiantly be in the future upgrade pile lol. Do you have any recommendations on a good one? I chose the one i did because a) has 2 8pin connectors for the GPU and b) its modular.

 

Im open to any changes lol

You! c:

 

With a nice overclock on that chip, and with that card, you shouldn't have a problem playing most games at Ultra at 1080p!

 

More or less c:

:D  :lol:  yah it helps lol

 

 

Can anyone give me a rough estimate on how it will perform?

Also..... does anyone have any tips and tricks for a first time builder?

Not that great at estimating performance myself. ;D, but i'd guess good enough for like Bioshock Infinite (a game iv'e played on many systems) at maybe 30FPS medium to high? Very nice system :D

Some tips are:

 The day before the build watch all of linus' build guides, just to get the feel

If you're nervous of static, maybe think of getting an antistatic strap, for ur ankle.

Thats really about it, prepare for some backache, and overall tiredness tho (at least for me ;D)
