Hey guys, I thought I would check here to get a bit of input on a build I am planning, it is already proving a little more costly than Intended but not a big deal, hoping for a build that will last some good time. Any and all relevant suggestions would be appreciated.

If you are aiming to be just gaming then get rid of the 5820k and get a I5 with a 980ti instead.

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

get a bigger HDD maby 2TB theres not much of a difirance in price

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

I have been thinking about this, though it adds to the cost and also I am not very knowledgeable about liquid cooling and if it needs regular maintenance or not, also I fear leakage.

Do you have budget. what about mouse keyboard monitors. your ssd is a bit small Id recommend at least 240gb also 1tb hdd will not take to long to fill! 

 

II am from the UK so prices are difference over here, hard to give a budget.. but say give or take $300 from the total cost of what is on my list. I also already have monitor, keyboard and mouse.

grab a second SSD for a scratch-disk..

 

If needed I will get another Hard drive when the time comes of needing one. But i will keep these suggestions in mind, thanks a lot! :)

An all in one cooler will not leek (if you don't try to make i) But if you want to do a custom loop it is hard to have a leek if you do it right ( watch some youtube vids on it). I would get a all in one cooler and call it a day.
