Building my first pc and need help with a few things

[Linkwithasword]

Okay, so i am building my first pc, and there are a few things i am unsure of

 

So first of all i guess i should start with the purpose of this pc, it is for gaming at 1080p, it will be running games such as league of legends, civ 5, fallout 4, the elder scrolls series, dota 2, and many many more, aaaaand it will (hopefully) run them at 60FPS.

That is the list of parts i am currently planning on using, although i am open to input on that as well, you will probably notice a few things missing from that list, namely a case and power supply. The case is the main thing i am asking for, but the power supply is being provided by a friend (he has an old 750w fully modular he is willing to give me, he replaced it so he could Crossfire his r9 390's)

 

Sooo... The case. I plan on building my own desk, and because i am doing that i have the option of making the desk house the pc in a custom case. Aaaaaand i have no idea what to do in order to do this or who to go to, any suggestions that may help in my task of making said case/desk? Thank you all

looks great. the only thing i would upgrade though is the cpu. you could get 8350 with a higher clockspeed or you can just overclock the hell out of the 8320.

(get a better cooler though if you are going to overclock a ton)

What size desk? Why not buy a premade case? What is your budget for a case?

The size of the desk will probably be around 4 1/2'-5' long and 2' wide, and the main reason for not buying a premade case is because i get the bragging rights of saying i built my own case. And as for the budget, my grandparents offered to pay for the materials of construction, although i do not want to abuse that too much, it does give me a lot of legroom

The pc looks like a solid budget gamer.

 

As far as building a custom desk with the pc built into it.. If you're not sure how to go about this, I would suggest to just sticking with a normal PC case and desk.  I'm not saying don't try the cool project, by all means I think you should absolutely do it.. but I think it might take some time for research, and you might scrap materials trying to get it right, and who knows if you'll be happy with the outcome.  Maybe get your rig operational and then practice building things

Yeah i am going to see how high i can get the 8320 to be stable since i am almost positive i will not have the money for an 8350

may i suggest 16 gb of ram. 8 is good but more and more games these days are pushing towards needing 16 gb. everything else looks great!

Does the CPU still beat the 8320 with overclocking taken into account (i plan on trying my absolute hardest to drive that 8320 to 4.4 at minimum)? Also is the performance increase HIGHLY noticeable taking into account that it drives me over budget (i can wait an extra month for the pc if i HAVE to but would rather not)

You can certainly suggest 16 gb of ram, and in fact i did think of that but decided to make it my first upgrade to the pc

well its about $10 more than your original build

and the performance increase is... a lot

especially for games

Would be better with an i5 unless you really need the 8 cores

 

You could also get like a 360 with a 1080p 144hz free-sync display. potentially if you want a better display over a higher end GPU
