So i needed a gaming pc and i finaly did it. now i didnt had much money so i used my old gpu, but even for the age its still pretty decent.

 

CPU: i3-4160

I have heard from other people that this is a great CPU to start with, since you can easily upgrade it to and i5 or i7.

 

GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 560 TI DirectCU II Top 1gb GDDR5

For an old GPU it still can run some newer games at medium to high without overclocking. (And i still had it in my old pc)

 

Motherboard: B85M-E45

I got an nice price on this from a friend, and its not a bad motherboard.

 

RAM: Kingston Fure HyperX 2x4GB DDR3

Great RAM set for nice price

 

Storage: 1TB Wester Digital Blue

No explenation needed

 

Power Supply: Corsair CX500M

A good modular power supply, and its 80plus Bronze.

 

Case: Corsair Carbide Series Spec-01

Nice case with a lovely side window, and just enough room for cable management.

 

Now for my first build ever i think i didn't do bad. ofcourse if i had a bit more money i would have gone with another GPU, but since i already had one. I didnt think i'd really needed a new one. Now ofcourse i will be changing this withing the next 6 to 8 months.
