Is my pc build correct and balanced

Go to solution Solved by stconquest,

@Ethan supabass

 

I made a small mistake on the motherboard.  It was fine, but was missing one thing:  a USB 3.0 header.  You could use it, but the front USB 3.0 port on the case will not be USB 3.0 compliant.

 

 

I switched it up a bit.

 

$1037 before taxes:

Show me your entire build when it is ready.  You are not going to aggressively overclock, so you don't need the TIM yet.  Buy it when you decide to overclock.

the ssd's price is still dropping like a lot. Is it a good idea if i just use a hdd for now and put it in a hdd dock later when the price is lower(it dropped 1/3 of it's price is half a year)

Why are you buying parts in China?

We can find another monitor.  The V8 comes with a tube of TIM.

No, terrible idea.  By a 500GB SSD and no hard drive at all.

btw the tech market is not bad in china and many parts is cheaper there so i can actually use my extra budget to buy a over sized desk mad or a gaming chair etc....
