Planning on my first build

[BiggestFan]

Hello everyone. I need some advice for my first build and some opinions. The pc is mainly going to be used for gaming (games like: runescape, tf2, cod etc...) and programming (Java). 

 

I have already picked out components for it. Would it be a good build? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1ns5n

 

 

Edit: Going for more intensive gaming later on tho. 

[_ASSASSIN_]

your build absolute overkill for the games you are playing
seriously, go with something that would be around $600 for the games you are playing

Runescape can run on everything and anything. Don't need to list that. 

 

That system is fine though, there are some cheaper options but sure, go ahead.

Looks great to me. You could get a lower wattage PSU, but you might as well stick with that one if you ever want to run SLI or something more. 

[CoolBeans]

If you are only playing those games you could probably get a 760. 8GB of RAM is plenty. 650W is plenty for this build.

SLI? for TF2?

[Cacao]

The games you listed could run on an overclocked toaster. You could easily get away with a system 1/3 of that price. 

[simtransporter]

As already mentioned your build is good enough and fully capable of running all the games you mentioned. You could build something that allows you to play all those games for less if you wanted to.

Haha no. Maybe he wants to get into more intense games later or something, you never know. 

[_ASSASSIN_]

Haha no. Maybe he wants to get into more intense games later or something, you never know. 

a 760 is perfect for all games atm, so unless he's not going to be playing F2P's other than planetside, he could use a GT640 and it would be fine with his games

[BiggestFan]

Haha no. Maybe he wants to get into more intense games later or something, you never know. 

Ye ofc ;)

 

Need more opinions!

This would probably be a better build for your purposes, even this is overkill for what you are doing.

Ahh thank you so much but would this build handle games like: Far Cry 3, Battlefield 3, Crysis 3 etc...?

Yes, easily you might want to wait for 9XXX series though.

Ok Thank you all! :D

You can also wait for the 9000 series from AMD in september and get a 9970 - 9950.

16 GB is absolutely overkill for anuything that is not heavy rendering. Windows 8 pro isn't a good value AT ALL just get the regular version good enough for gaming/java scripting.

[SSOB]

Yes this wait for the 9XXX series and buy a 9970 instead of the 780 i chose in the build. Also guys when he has the money to build a beast system why not encourage that?

Thank you man! :D

No problem , what you also can do it get an awesome mechanical gaming keyboard . Something like a corsair K70 , and cheap out a bit on the HDD as an example, 1 TB of storage in stead of 2 TB( But if you need 2 TB of course get that.)
