Posted November 18, 2015 Im thinking about building a computer. Is this an alright build for me to start in the pc world Thanks -Kadahh http://pcpartpicker.com/p/WXbDYJ For gaming choose a different power supply Edit: A SSD would be ideal for fast boot times and some priority applications then the HDD for the rest.

Posted November 18, 2015 I did think about the 390 but I have read that the 970 performs a bit better. And for the only like 10 dollars more I get the better strix card It's common knowledge that the 390 performs better then the 970 and having 4.5 gb more vram is very handy for more vram hungry games. http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/451339-help-me-find-him/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 18, 2015 You should get better PSU like XFX or EVGA Just not CX you might burn down your computer or worst. You should get 8GB of ram, it should be enough for gaming. The money you save from the RAM you could get a SDD Magical Pineapples
