Is this build ok?

[AnAcidLemon]

Hey guys, I'm sorta new in pc building, I am about to build my first pc. I was wondering if these parts would be okay with each other, thank you!

Crap SSD. The A-data SP550 or the Sandisk SSD PLUS are much better options.

 

PSU?

If the site says they are compatible with each other then it should be fine, good luck with the build.

What's the specific brand and model of the PSU you're planning to get? What options are available for you?

I'm not sure, haven't visited the shop. Called tough, they say the have supplies around 20 and 80 bucks so I suppose I will be able to get an evga or corsair psu.

Alright, I'll give you a brief overview of what not to get, and what to get.

 

DO NOT GET:

 

Corsair VS, CX series.

 

EVGA 500B, 600B, NEX/G1, NEX/B1.

 

GET:

 

Any SeaSonic (S12II, M12II, G-series)

 

Any XFX

 

Corsair RMx, RMi (unlikely you're going to get these since they're usually not priced well)

 

EVGA G2, GQ, B2 series (the G2 and the GQ series are the best of the best).

Get a different ssd, the v300 is dated and not as fast as it should be.

Get a 390 over the 970, same price better performance.

everything else is fine.

switch the GTX 970 for an R9 390. Also, wheres the power supply, or the case? Your PC needs something to power it and something to put all the parts in.

Thanks for the suggestion I think I will stick to the r9 390 because I like Nvidia software, I want the division (which comes with the gpu) and for me it seems like an overall good card, but thanks anyways

I said it before, I will get the psu and a case here in at my local shop.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Thank you very much, I will have it in mind when shopping it.

for the ssd i would suggest at least 240 gigs (512 is even better) if you plan on gaming

The R9 390 is a better performer than the GTX 970 but do keep in mind that the 390 does cost a bit more. May I ask what is your maximum budget for this system?

Thanks, I was actually planning on installing my os and photoshop there, maybe some games that I play frequently but I think I won't end up buying it.

depends on specific program. 

 

both are great cards, and not every game will utilize the 8GB, and some are optimized for NVidia.

The 390 doesn´t cost more than the 970? At least not in USD.

well unless like he said he wants the nvidia software (I don't really know why exactly? maybe shadowplay...) it's on a per game basis but usually the r9 390 has better performance and is often cheaper.

the 390 usually costs less mate. Its seen by a large majority as a less favorable card, because they don't understand performance numbers, they only understand color.

I will recommend both, but my personal experience has found AMD cards to be... unstable compared to NVidia. 

 

I'm not a fanboy or totally anti-AMD, I still recommend both, but that is my personal preference.
