Project ZippY_ |-Plans & Feedback

[Hotpeppa1]

Hello users,

 

So this is my first PC build ever, so any feedback is appreciated! I may or may not change the name of build later.

 

1. Budget & Location

My Original budget was $1000, but I needed some more power , Location is Canada/ $CAD.

2. Aim

My aim with this system is to create a gaming pc that is upgradable flexible and budget friendly (I Guess).

Games that I want to run at 1080p 60hz 30fps+ are GTA 5, Project Cars, Arma 3 (Maybe), Minecraft with shaders (Sigh),

Far Cry 4, Battlefield 4 and alot more new releases that my system can run.

3. Monitors

I would plan to get 1 1080p 60hz monitor, if I needed to run two monitors I would upgrade my graphics card.

4. Peripherals

Taken care of. (Just need monitor ).

5. Why are you upgrading?

Im not, first build .

Alright thx!

Looks fine to me, I'd personally spend a little more on a better PSU like a EVGA GS or G2 series and spend the little extra on a crucial bx100 SSD rather then the Kingston.

^--- Get a Crucial, Sandisk, Corsair, OCZ or Samsung SSD instead

For monitor i use the rl2455hm benq its 60 hz and 1ms delay, i love it but the drawbacks are that the viewing angles are not the best but i think its a really good monitor. for the case don't you think that is a bit bland? or you are going for the non gaming look? if not try the phantom 240

For the case, I might change it to a Fractal Design Core 2500, since its on sale at my nearest store for 55$

 

Edit: Yeah im kinda going for that non-gaming simplistic look.

Wow, I never even knew AMD made SSDs... why not get the Samsung 850 EVO? Most recommended SSD all around

Go for it! Get any SSD that you can afford but check the reviews first to check if it is reliable, efficient and worth the money (Unlike the Kingston SSDNow which makes use of low quality materials which affects performance and longevity).
