My First Build

[Baby Sloth]

This is less of a build I made and more of a question to all of you.

 

It is my first time building a PC, it seemed interesting and I needed an upgrade from bought PC's for gaming (Thanks LinusTechTips)

 

Edit: Changed a few parts: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/y8G2D3

The link above is a build I have constructed and I am wondering what I should add/change and if this is powerful enough to run BF4 or COD Bo2 in 60 or more fps

 

Thanks, I will post the finished build when I can

 

Edit: Budget of $1000

[paradoxmatthew]

The 7970 is a great card but when DX12 comes out you're going to have a bad time with using it, try a 370 or 380

[c_marriott]

Change the PSU for sure.

Maybe spend less on the motherboard and go for an i3/i5?

Might be a good idea to look at a different GPU

[PetiteBob]

Budget would be nice, Also try and stay away form AMD CPU's

[Goodman2265]

Go for i5 4460 and a H97 board (MSI H97 PC MATE is good)

[paradoxmatthew]

I'll show you how I would build it but you're almost on the right track so don't worry

are amd processors not supposed to be really good and cheap for strictly gaming? which is what he said he is aiming for?

With his budget He could get a good Intel Cpu with 2x or more the performance

Yeah, but in general intels are better overall CPUs, that way if he ever needs to do anything else he can

[smith315pm]

thats why i was asking as he said it is for gaming, im not too familiar as im a bit of a noob especially when it comes to amd

I would get the r9 280x instead of the 7970 as it is a rebrand of that card and much, much cheaper!

[Baby Sloth]

My budget is about 1 k (Can Be 100 or 200 bucks more)

[paradoxmatthew]

Oh wow that helps a lot, I was trying to go super cheap

I changed the link, you can check it out if you want, changed the cpu, mobo and gpu

Throw an SSD in there, try a Samsung 850 EVO 120gb or higher capacity if you have the budget. Also, your CPU supports only 1600mhz RAM, not much point going for 1866. Save yourself two bucks and get 1600mhz. Everything else looks fine

[SkixAces]

what about this? Alot better then the build you made

I live in AUS, it might be just under 1000 usd, but it's about 1300 aud

If you put windows on the ssd, your pc boots up super fast. applications will load up super fast (if installed on the sdd) And games will load faster  

[paradoxmatthew]

I just made one and i like it a little more @SkixAces

So i should remove the harddrive and probably buy 2 ssds?

No, keep one mass storage and one boot drive

Ok, thanks
