First PC Build

[finrodcalaelen]

Building a setup under $1200 but I'm about $70 USD above my budget. Any advice? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/xvsVQ7

You really want to overclock?

Why are you pairing a 280x with an i7? What is this build for? You should really wait for the new AMD cards to come out. A 280x won't drive 144p very well, and don't use wireless for gaming. You get literally 1/10th the speed of wired in many cases

What's it for?

When will they come out? And what do you mean by wireless

[njmyers3]

"Everything"? So, gaming, rendering, photo editing, browsing, storage?

 

Edit: Network management, coding, movies

Yeah pretty much just not intense renders. I only do 2D

Wireless internet. They're coming out very soon but for this pricepoint you might as well just get a 970, I didn't know you needed peripherals and other stuff. Windows 8.1 is better for literally everything. Don't buy an outdated OS because you don't like the interface of Windows 8, you can change it to look like windows 7 easily while still being better in many ways

You need a Z97 motherboard. You won't be able to Post with a Haswell Refresh CPU and a Z87 board.

No... you'll get high ping in online games, you get bad download speeds, and unreliable internet

What does a GPU have to do with internet other than loading complex images?

Changed a couple things. Just saying the SSD is only for OS. Everything else goes onto the Deskstar. Also, I opted for some cheaper equivalents of what you recommended. Here's the result: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/dmKsFT. I only saved about $12, but the lower the price, the better.

Sure, you really like the ASUS Z87? You cant overclock your CPU by the way, thats why I got you a B85 mobo.
