First build (Need advice!)

[Aubz]

Hey guys this will be my first time building my own pc, I'm hoping to build a pc for high settings on 1080p gaming for under $1000CAD (not sure how much cheaper it will be on Black Friday)

 

Since the case comes with 1 fractal design fan I would like to keep it consistent by buying 2 more of those but I'm not sure if it is good enough for cooling. Should I go for something like Noctua or corsair? Also should i get pressure or air flow fans for this case? Thanks

 

This is what I have in mind:

Throw the corsair psu out the window and buy a Super Flower, Seasonic, or EVGA g2 series psu.

Follow your own topics and post a pcpartpicker link rather than this thing

Save up enough to get a 380, and you'll be golden. I'd save in the area by not getting a K series. Just get the Skylake 6600. PSU wise, get literally anything from seasonic. :3

It'll help if you use Pcpartpicker

Change the SSD. I've only heard terrible things about the V300 on this forum. They changed the controller, and now it has terrible read/write speeds. Go with a Sandisk/Samsung 120gb instead!

6500* as it's like 0.2GHz slower for less cost .w. Also, @Aubz http://pcpartpicker.com/ is a rather useful website for making parts lists.

What's wrong with the corsair psu?

How about EVGA 100-B1-0500-KR 80 PLUS Bronze 500W Active PFC ATX12V v2.31/EPS 12V v2.91 Power Supply ?

There is nothing seriously wrong with the CX-500M psu. Personally I would choose it over the EVGA 100-B1-0500-KR as the CX is a better built unit.

for a gaming system its not really good as it has very little to none japanese capasitors. Its like a chinese iphone

[Aubz]

How about the two Fractal design silent r3 fans, do you guys suggest something else or they are good?

It is still one of the best SSDs for the money.

Eh I beg to differ. Could get a SP, Sandisk, or even an 840 EVO for the same price. All perform better.
