First PC Build

WILL UPDATE WHEN CPU ARRIVES:

 

Wanted a 1080p gaming machine (also was done with my shitty laptop), so I decided to build my own computer. The build would have costed about 800 if not for this dude on Craigslist that was selling a 660ti for $60 (was going to get the 380), so that saved me a ton of money, for still pretty good performance. Processor and OS are arriving on the 7th-9th so it TECHNICALLY isn't done yet, but this is my thread and I can do what I want.

thanks, a lot of people were getting on my case about getting skylake, with a 660ti, but its like in the middle of a 950 and a 960 so its still a pretty capable card

honestly if i was choosing between a new 380 and a 660ti for $60, I'd take it

I would go two sticks of ram, and get a nicer motherboard if you need help finding one i can find one for you.

 

also get a nicer case

 

and that wifi adapter is terrible

The case is from some no-name brand and it seems like you cheaped out on the case and ram and motherboard to fit in a core i5, you should of gone amd or core i3 and not cheaped on on the things i stated

yeah diypc isnt well known but the case is better than my friends Cooler Master Elite 130, ram doesnt really matter... and motherboard is what i need, and not bad. i need a quadcore for what im going to be playing, not some hyperthreaded "quadcore", and i need quicksync so no AMD
