My first build

Nohemi · October 11, 2015

Hi everyone, please read everything before you comment. Thank you

Okay, so I'm going to build a computer in about a month from now in November if all goes to plan. I plan to be playing not so demanding titles like minecraft and black ops 2. I think the highest demanding game I will be playing is Tomb Raider. I am doing a blue color scheme and want the case to be pretty nice looking (sleek and not too much going on), have a windowed side panel and I want it to be at least a mid tower, but not break the bank. It has a 800 budget not including the external hard drive and antivirus, but the budget does include a display with HDMI, a keyboard, and a OS. Now you may ask "Why do you need a hard drive?" Well good sir I have some pc games pre-bought on cd because they were on sale. Please make any changes that you feel necessary. Here is what I have so far.

P.S. I chose the xfx 550w psu because the cables don't look that bad (no random colors) and I will be overclocking the cpu.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
