So recently ive been really wanting to play CSGO but i dont have a computer to play it on at the moment. So i made a PCPartPicker list and want some advice on it.

Keep in mind ill be getting better parts 4-5months after building when i come into a bit more money. So this will only be a temporary build.

Thanks!

budget?

 

I'd suggest getting a CX500M instead of a CX500, the CX500 is non-modular, the CX500M is semi-modular, cable management will be a hell of a lot easier.

 

Tbh that build doesn't look bad at all, it will be more than enough for CS:GO

Specs: CPU - Intel i7 8700K @ 5GHz | GPU - Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming | Motherboard - ASUS Strix Z370-G WIFI AC | RAM - XPG Gammix DDR4-3000MHz 32GB (2x16GB) | Main Drive - Samsung 850 Evo 500GB M.2 | Other Drives - 7TB/3 Drives | CPU Cooler - Corsair H100i Pro | Case - Fractal Design Define C Mini TG | Power Supply - EVGA G3 850W

I dont NEED an SSD though so theres no point in spending the extra money..

You might WANT one now so you have faster load times and an SSD for the new build.

Why are you guys trying to downgrade his CPU? He said he's going to upgrade later. 

He's good except for the PSU.

Wouldn't an i3 with a cheaper motherboard be better?

Gaming isn't typically a multi-threaded application, not not necessarily with an OC.
