First Time Building a PC

[Soullsss]

Hello guys,

So I am planning on building my first PC. However, i need some a lot of help.

First, is my planned build powerful enough, i believe it could handle most games 1080p 60fps, but will it run into any issues?

Secondly, are there any tips for first time building?

 

 

Any responses appreciated,

Avoid static electricity when building

Might not look as good but I can guarantee you it'll perform far better. Feel free to switch the parts for different colored ones but I'd definitely keep with the i5 4460 and GTX 970.

this config can handle most games 1080@60, probably medium-high.
you can buy either the 960 or  the 380, price is the decider, i would recommend not get the corsair CX, get some coolermaster, evga....

pretty sure ppl will make some i5 build, i think you are good with the 8320e, but the i5 is a bit better.
if you can afford a 240/256gb ssd, it is really good, i think 120 is not enough, *gta5, 60gb * but that is just a recommendation/imho 
good luck building it

Don't get an AMD CPU... Get something like an i5 or an i3 instead...

AMD CPUS SUCK! This build can not handle 1080p 60fps games!

don't build that

T.hanks m8. It's easy to do when you drop an SSD from a budget build. The sooner you realize you can get one later and increase your graphics performance now the better off you'll be. Cause I mean think about it would you rather boot into windows in half the time (but not your games because your SSD isn't big enough) or have 20+ more FPS in most games? Spread this wisdom.

My favorite thing about the drop in PC prices has been RAM. When I bought my PC 8GB's of ram was 83$. Now it's 41$.
