My Possible PC Build

[Hotpeppa1]

Hello fellow users!

 

I am new to the community, and to PC building.

Thats my possible PC Build. I am most likely going to use it for gaming. Some games may include gta 5,Bo3 (when released) and project cars (not a professional setup). Now there are a couple things that im not sure about. Okay first the processor, would the CPU cooler I picked be able to hold temps stable when overclocking to 3.8-4.0ghz? And if not could you recomend one? Liquid cooling is really not a option for me. Second the motherboard, I just picked the first one I saw , and im not sure if the GPU is compatible.

Budget and Location would be nice.

700-$900 Canada.

Get a GTX960 or R9 280 instead of GTX750 Ti. CAD$195 for a GTX750 Ti is not the best bang for the buck.

Okay, Ill take that into consideration. Thanks

This is at the top of gut budget but will give you the best preformance and beat upgrade options!!

Or, if you are willing to spend closer to $900, go for an R9 290.

That's just what I needed! Thanks, but I'm not too familiar with the brand ASrock. And if I want to overclock the processor (if I can) what CPU cooler do I need?

[Hotpeppa1]

And I will stick with the case I picked, it looks nicer in my opinion

$30 more than your original, but worth every penny:
