Well, I now have my newer board from Gigabyte, I bought it off a 3rd party and appeared to be broken, But good thing is, it was under warranty but had to pay $45, Because apparently the pins were broken in the Socket (Which was considered out of warranty)

 

But now that i have a brand new one

 

Right now, The Specs are in low key, And im planning to upgrade soon...

 

Here is my Current Build now...

 

Motherboard: Z97X-UD3H-BK 

PSU: Antec 550W 80+ Certifed

SSD: N/A

HDD:160 GB Seagate

Case: N/A

CPU: Intel Celeron G1820 2.7GHZ

RAM: G.Skill Sniper Series 8GB (2x4GB) In Slots 1 & 3

GPU:N/A

 

(Motherboard Sitting on top of the Gigabyte Box)

 

Motherboard: Keeping

PSU: Looking Possibly for a Better PSU 

SSD: Don't Have one in Mind Right now

HDD: Keeping 

Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811353085&ignorebbr=1

CPU: Something Higher then a G1820

RAM: Maybe G.Skill Sniper or Better 

GPU: Unsure Yet

 

Got anything that might be better then this, I'm trying to keep within budget at least $250

What do you use this build for?? :)

At the moment, I would consider a gpu like the r7 260 for about $100 usd. or get a better cpu with better onboard graphics like the i3 4160 for also $100 usd, but you could go for an i5 4460 for about $180 usd. I could be beneficial to get a bigger hdd. Definately get a case...

Given the current specs of this build, you should not need an ssd, more ram or a better psu. As for hard drives, your first post states you are keeping that 160gb hdd, there are some hard drives like seagate barracuda's and WD Blues that are "good" value

Hope this helped ;)

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
