First PC Build

[MichaelMoriarty]

I started to build this PC because my current PC and Alienware X51 (Intel Core i5-3330 CPU @ 3.00GHz and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660) will eventually be taken back my Dads work who I only borrowed it off because it wasn't in use and I would like to have a build ready for a reasonable price to replace it when this does happen preferably under 750€

as I am saving around a year and a half to afford it, the games I currently run are CS:GO and Garrys Mod but I am beginning to move into PC gaming more so I'd like to be able to run games like GTA 5 and Rainbow Six Siege.

 

I currently use 2 monitors but I don't mind using one and then maybe buying another Graphics Card further down the line after the PC has been built.

 

Mouse and Keyboard isn't a problem as I already have my own preferred ones.

 

The build I have picked out in the last few weeks follows and any feed back on how I could improve this would be appreciated. (This is my first build so I might have some components might link wrong that I haven't been able to notice.)

Specified parts are pre owned and others aren't and they total to around 698.54€ American Amazon rather than the 969.55€ from the UK Amazon with nothing pre owned

The main part I'm unsure about is the motherboard as I don't really see the difference in them other than the PCI slots. Please tell me if there is anything I have overlooked in this build.

Thank you for your time.

I think you've done a pretty good job.  I would just caution you on the purchase of preowned spinning drives.  If it were a SSD, I'd say go for it, but take caution with the others.

 

Good luck with the purchase and build!

Thank you for the advice, I'll try and be cautious over the 2nd hand parts but it just makes it a lot more affordable rather than buying them brand new

I absolutely agree.  There is nothing wrong with second hand parts bud!  I just don't make a habit of buying second hand spinning HDD.  They are just too sensitive to mishandling.  If you can verify the manufacturing date, the drive will more than likely be covered under WD remaining warranty, but that's a bit of a headache to deal with on a fresh build.

Try not to go for an AMD build anymore; they aren't good for gaming anymore. See if you can get a skylake or haswell core i5 instead.

I would prefer a sky lake but I'll see with what money I've got when buying as amd is cheaper
