[LordMorgan]

Ok so i want to start a build but i dont really know what i am doing. Here is what i want to build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/wZZX7P now i dont know if i should build a $1600 gaming pc as my first one so i went to CyberPower and did one of there build so i dont have to do and i made this  http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/saved/1H6HMN (Configuration #: 1H6HMN). So what i want to know should i risk it and build my own or spend about $2000 on the Cyberpower pc perbuild? I hope some one can help me. Thanks

you can drop the psu to a 650 watt, maybe even lower. i would build it waiting for the parts is the hardest part. everything else looked ok to me. i would

psu, evga gs or b2, anything seasonic. corsair rmi.

What is this for exactly ? This is a pretty hefty price for a simple gaming build lol. you can get a nice one for 800 bucks

Before I look at your build, I'm going to say: Just build it yourself, it's a really good learning experience. It's hard to mess up.

[Ionizer]

absolutely do not get cyberpower to build it for you. they overcharge for building the computer which you could easily do yourself and their shipping is notoriously bad.

[alexhelvetica]

That computer is over the top.

You only need 8GBs of ram

i5's are more than sufficient for gaming.

1000w of PSU is over the top (and don't get Corsair PSU's)

Get a Seagate or WD hdd not Samsung, Toshiba or Hatachi.

Get a SSD (I recommend the HyperX Fury)

The motherboard is over the top (Get a $100 z97 board)

32 GB of RAM is too much if you're only looking to stream or game

You're PSU is overkill for the build you chose

The 980ti is better than both the 970 and 390, and it still fits your budget

lol sorry about that did not see it. now i did make the PUS to a 850w for add a 2nd GTX 980 in the long run. and made the video card a MSi GeForce GTX 980Ti 6GB. Is that fine?

I don't recommend SLI unless you really have the budget for it

 

Pros:

-Faster than a single card

 

Cons: 

-Higher power draw

-Higher Temps around the system

-It isn't supported by most games

-It will be difficult to set-up even for experts

 

Again a single GTX 980ti would be a better investment than a 970, 390 or 980
