Well after weeks of looking for parts and doing research I'm finally done with my build...and it was only $150 over budget  :ph34r:. I gotta say I couldn't have done it without the LTT community and the build itself wouldn't have gone as smooth as it did today. I just want to say thanks to all you guys. This is what I ended up with.

Looks like a nice build there, have fun with it!

Join the Appleitionist cause! See spoiler below for answers to common questions that shouldn't be common!

Spoiler

Q: Do I have a virus?!
A: If you didn't click a sketchy email, haven't left your computer physically open to attack, haven't downloaded anything sketchy/free, know that your software hasn't been exploited in a new hack, then the answer is: probably not.

 

Q: What email/VPN should I use?
A: Proton mail and VPN are the best for email and VPNs respectively. (They're free in a good way)

 

Q: How can I stay anonymous on the (deep/dark) webzz???....

A: By learning how to de-anonymize everyone else; if you can do that, then you know what to do for yourself.

 

Q: What Linux distro is best for x y z?

A: Lubuntu for things with little processing power, Ubuntu for normal PCs, and if you need to do anything else then it's best if you do the research yourself.

 

Q: Why is my Linux giving me x y z error?

A: Have you not googled it? Are you sure StackOverflow doesn't have an answer? Does the error tell you what's wrong? If the answer is no to all of those, message me.

did someone really convinced you to buy a cx psu for a gaming rig?

Also i guess that you will change the pentium with an i5 k later on?

(and why the 960)

My mind is full of what??

You could get a better build for the money,imo

The site has changed....

Really? After doing research why did you go with a low-quality PSU?

960? why?

Really - you could have gotten an i5 for that budget :/
