800 U.S. Dollar PC build help!

[The BIG Stomper]

Need help building a pc around 800 dollars ( u.s.) does not need to be exact but close. I am new to the pc world so please do not make it especially optimized for overclocking because i probably will not over clock it. I do not need a monitor and have no parts at all so everything is needed. Thank you to all of you that respond.

Question do you have a MicroCenter near you? You can usually get things like the CPU for cheaper there?

[Nickzoom]

Is it for gaming?

[Ian Schmid]

Graphics card - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 OC 2GB

power suplly and case - EVGA Hadron Air Mini ITX Case with 500W

CPU - Intel Pentium Anniversary Edition G3258

Motherboard - ASRock H81M-ITX Motherboard
Memory - Kingston Hyper X Fury HX318C10FBK2/8 8GB (2x4GB) Black

Storage - Seagate Barracuda 1TB ST1000DM003

Its a store lol. They sell computer parts and things

[Drackeo]

I undercut your budget a little bit and still got decent power without using any kind of oc. Although the CPU and MotherBoard both do not support overclocking at all. If your looking to do so in the future youll need a new CPU AND MOTHERBOARD. Also this will run everything at 1080p with some head room. My personal build is similar and just destroyes games at 1080p and several at 1440p. Love the 280x lol.

That Xeon doesn't have HT and has a lower clock than the cheaper i5 4590.

This has the absolute best GTX 970 on the market as well as a very good i5. I edited my build to include the previously recommended Rosewill Capstone 550W PSU and the Cooler Master HAF 912 case, as they are better recommendations than what I originally chose in my suggested build.

You're welcome. I would recommend you just look it over and make sure everything looks good to you or if you have any questions about anything

I am completely new to the pc world how much better is the i5 4690k than the one you listed.

[SteveGrabowski]

I do not need a keyboard and mouse but i will need a operating system so thank you for the build.

Probably against the rules to say this, but I'd just pirate Windows 7 and then buy Windows 10 when it comes out.

Not much unless you're trying to push 120 fps, which you're not doing on an $800 build. GPU overclcok matters way more, and that build has the best over clocking GTX 970.

[The BIG Stomper]

You're welcome. I would recommend you just look it over and make sure everything looks good to you or if you have any questions about anything

Agin compelty new to the computer world do you think this would be a easy computer to build. ( as easy as a computer could be to build )

[The BIG Stomper]

When does 10 come out. (lol)

[SteveGrabowski]

When does 10 come out. (lol)

I think in the summer.
