First time builder (Budget $1500)

MrAnonymous · June 9, 2015

i am going to build for the first time, ik it is a bit too high of a price point for a first time, but i want to just build this one even tho it's expensive but will still last for a t least 5 years or so. i am not trying to overclock but i still went for a water cooling, just because of the noise. please check it out and tell me if everything is compatible and if it will fit. i have no idea about compatibility of each pieces.

CASE: Cooler Master N200 ($50.00 @ NewEgg)
MONITOR: SAMSUNG SD390 Series S24D390HL ($200.00 @ NewEgg)
GPU: GIGABYTE GV-N970IXOC-4GD GeForce GTX 970 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 ($300.00 @ NewEgg)
PSU: Antec EarthWatts Platinum Series EA-650 650W 80 PLUS PLATINUM ($85.00 @ NewEgg)
CPU COOLER: CORSAIR Hydro Series H50 120mm Quiet Edition Liquid CPU Cooler – Intel Only ($60.00 @ NewEgg)
STORAGE (SSD): SAMSUNG 850 EVO MZ-75E500B/AM 2.5" 500GB SATA III 3-D Vertical Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) ($178.00 @ NewEgg)
CPU, MOBO, RAM (Combo): Intel Core i5-4460 Haswell Quad-Core 3.2GHz LGA 1150 BX80646I54460 Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4600 , GIGABYTE GA-B85M-DS3H (rev. 3.0) LGA 1150 Intel B85 HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard , G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL ($287.00 @Newegg_Support)
KB: Corsair Gaming Keyboard (Raptor K30) ($55.00 @ Amazon)
MOUSE: Anker 8200 DPI High Precision Programmable Laser Gaming Mouse

($30.00 @ Amazon)
MOUSE PAD: SteelSeries QcK Gaming Mouse Pad (Black) ($8.00 @ Amazon)
HEADPHONES: Takstar Hi2050 ($50.00 @ Amazon)
MIC: Antlion ModMic 4.0 (no mute button) ($43.00 @ Amazon)

The Total would go around $1450.00 including the shipping and taxes.

NewEgg has some MIR that would go up to $50.00 on this particular purchase and the monitor has a code that would subtract $20.00 of the price. so in actuality the price would be more around $1380.00

Are there any places that would be cheaper for this things? Is it good? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance ^~^

no point in liquid cool if non overclockable

Best thing to do would be to go on PC Part Picker www.pcpartpicker.com - That insures compatibility.

No point in liquid cooling ever. Apart from that it looks really really cool (in all senses of the word).

I would probably rather go with something like the Dark Rock 3 in this case, since my experience with corsair's all in ones has been... not-the-best.

some may disagree on that. I have no biased opinion though

reason why i am going for the liquid cooling is mainly because it is quiet.

if you are in daytona beach florida, inside your car with no AC on, in an uncovered parking, at noon, in the middle of summer. bruh you best get 4 quadruple 120mm rads

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fV2tycCooler master has a $26 red backlit mouse/KB combo if you want me to add it. You can easily throw $26 away and get something nice like a Ducky Shine 3 Keyboard and something like a SteelSeries mouse.

na it just depends on how well the radiator is and how quiet the fans are (nocturas) but this is your build not mine so... go with what you want

a noctua cpu cooler is much quieter than an AiO

Liquid cooling isn't quieter. I can guarantee Noctua NH-D15 is quiter then just about any AIO right now.

Noctua NH-D15 is good, but it won't fit the n200. I have a hyper 212x on my pc, despite not being overclockable. I did this so I can lower the fan speed to around 600 so it would be quite silent.

That is wrong pumps are quite noisy in aio's.
