Help for a new PC?

Go to solution Solved by PineappleHolidays,

5820k + X99 sli plus + 16gb ram + R9 290x + ssd is a awesome build !

Make sure your cpu is 5820k and not 4820k and that you have DDR4 ram

This is gonna be my first time building a proper PC so I need some help to make sure I get it right. Here's what I managed to come up with after a little bit of research and it fit's my budget ( only because I will buy it all over a long period of time ).

I am a little confused about your cpu, do you mean the 5820K as that has 6 cores or do you mean the I7 4790K which is socket LGA 1150 so you would need to chose a different mobo.

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!

The first problem is that your CPU is not on the X99 chipset and while this may not cause an problems I'd rather be safe than sorry. Personally I'd go with something more like this as it's going to give you the same if not better performance and a better look to match the Black / Red theme of your Case.

5820k + X99 sli plus + 16gb ram + R9 290x + ssd is a awesome build !

Make sure your cpu is 5820k and not 4820k and that you have DDR4 ram

Recommend what is best, not what you preffer.

Mainly as a workstation build for design and some light gaming.
