First Build

[ffemterb]

This is my first time building a computer. I wanted something that could run games like Company of Heros and also be good for a little Photoshop and sound editing. I am not a professional, I just like to play around. I'd like to know what you think.

 

 

CPU: Core i5-4460

Cooler: Corsair H80i GT

Motherboard: MSI H97M-G43

RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600

Storage: Kingston SSDNow V300 (boot drive)

              WD Blue 1TB 7200

Video: MSI GeForce GT740

PSU: SeaSonic X 400

CD/DVD: Asus DRW-24D3ST

Pretty good build except for the GPU and SSD i've heard bad things about the V300 and the GT 740 is horrid.

The build is really unbalanced. You need to spend less on your CPU cooler and get way better graphics. I would recommend using PC partpicker for choosing parts :http://au.pcpartpicker.com/

Give us a budget (in your currency) and we can help you build one

dont buy ssd and cooler for cpu, better get stronger gpu

[SPAS-ID]

4460 doesnt need to be Watercooled, a stock cooler will do, but probably just get 212EVO
Make sure the RAM is 8GB, 16GB is better
For the SSD get Samsung 850 PRO instead of that

 

 

dont buy ssd

nigga u srs ? SSD is mostly a need now, since everything is huge

I was thinking it might be a little over kill for the CPU cooler. I was trying to stay under $800 so I can put that towards a better GPU. Any suggestions on good SSDs?

Something I quickly threw together. Much better than your rig.

as a general rule, your gpu should be more expensive than your cpu. get an i3

You can buy ssd later because it's not that expensive as gpu nigga
