First PC build, Need help

[ResistantOlive]

I am building a PC, and I'm not sure if the components are the best deal for the prices. I don't even know if the parts I have are compatible.  Here is a list of the components:

The budget for the PC is around $800, but the whole setup is around $1050.  This is my first PC build, and I don't quite know how to do it.

would go with an red NZXT S340 to fit your scheme otherwise seems fine

[IP man]

I highly recommend you go with an intel CPU and a fully modular PSU and a Samsung EVO ssd. 

 

but that build you listed will work.

i3 if low budget, i5 best gaming/casual work CPU, i7 if you are doing heavy work like editing/streaming ect.

Is there any huge advantage in using a SSD?

Dont even bother getting an ssd for a 800 dollar build.

 

Go with i5+970 on my build and get a cheap ssd later.

 

Basically trading gpu performance for an ssd is completely ... erm *insert expelative*

Just use the build I linked Q_Q

 

The reason is , a 970 is about twice as powerful as a 270x.

 

If you can afford i5+970 go for it.

 

And you most certainly can.

Just input the part names on my picture into amazon.

 

I can make a part list there if you want.

[stconquest]

Get a 7200 RPM HDD, if it was a second drive, I would say okay...reluctantly.  It is your main drive so yeah... 7200 RPM.

 

Oh and i5 + 970... very nice.

[ResistantOlive]

I have the 7200 hard drive, the GTX 970 and i5

[stconquest]

All I see is a Green drive.  Is it 7200?  IDK...
