this would probably go under the build planning category but...

 

whats your budget?

 

edit: i guess its already built

Nothing bad about it, aside from the hard drive. Cable management is where things get serious.

Did you build this recently or is this a planed rig?  If it's planned, what's your budget?  Either way, that's a weak CPU for the price, and I would definitely throw an SSD in there.  What's the PSU?

I have already have this build.

 

I am actually lloking to get maybe an SSD for like 120GB and another HDD of 1TB

 

My PSU is an Extreme Power Plus 550W, when i got this I didnt  know about the 80 plus stuff

That PSU sounds absolutely horrible.  I would change it to a Seasonic or XFX unit as soon as possible.

4core 8 thread processor, and a much larger storage, for cheaper

 

so... i'd rate your system quite low actually

 

edit: if i sound like an ass, im sorry, but im really strict when im judging a system :c

well, if you're looking for suggestions

i would always suggest adding an ssd to your system to make it snappier

and as amazingasian mentioned, a better power supply too

Yeah, it works at the moment, but is on the list of to change stuff like my case I have a Cm 692 II Advance Nvidia Special Edition ATX Mid-Tower Case, now regreting really bad, I know it look like I am a coolermaster fan boy, but at that time that was the best and within my budget so that why I am here

You could change the 2TB blue to a faster 7200RPM 1TB blue and add an Adata SP550 SSD.

Wow thank you and also to @Moonzy this are the kind of things that I want to learn.

 

Also a saw this case CORSAIR GRAPHITE 230T Naranja Led USB 3.0, it looks nice and that has loots of space, or do you recommend something better?

If you have a lot of dust around the computer, I would recommend something with a dust filter because that case doesn't have very good filtering in the front.

if you wanna learn about computer parts planning, you can browse the subforum for it, you'll learn what to and what not to do there

 

i learnt how to plan a build on here quite recently tbh

 

case is a very personal thing, but if you ask for my recomendations, i would suggest you check out the h440, its costly but a pc case can be used for a looooong time if taken care of

Thank you, all this information was really useful, I just need to check if i can find all of this in my area or how to get it

Get yourself an SSD, you'll will wish you had bought one sooner.

 

Other than that it looks like a good 1080p gaming build... BTW whats temps are you getting on your CPU overclocked with the Evo 212 ???

When doing the test using prime95 the maximum was 50 °C, if I recall correctly maybe reached the 56 when doing one of the tests

Thank you for the F+, mind expanding, this will be really useful

 

When the rig was build a friend helped me, but now I see that he might have done a lousy job, with the MOBO and CPU, but to be honest those 2 components are the only ones I have not change since the beginning, my GPU that was originally on the rig died because some bad handling when I changes the case, and got my GTX970 on a good deal, and recently changed the RAM as some game are getting more demanding

There's nothing wrong with the build, my comment was intended only for comic value.  On a side note though, I love the GTX 970 (enough for me to buy two of them).

Wow, didn't think that cooler had that much capacity to dissipate all that heat... Good to know, and that makes me even happier about recommending it to people as a budget friendly cooler.

Some People say that hyper 212 Plus is better, but the EVO works really well for me
