My First PC

[dome_the_killer]

I'm building my first computer. I have a part list on PCpartpicker http://pcpartpicker.com/p/wL3DCJ . Is there any thing wrong with it or should I change a part. I would love some feed back.

(I've taken out peripherals)

 

But anyway. With the remaining 200$, you can try and snag yourself a second hand Gtx 970, which you can find out there if you look hard enough. You can also get windows for cheaper (either 7 or 8.1 versions) and invest that cash into the GPU.

 

Forget the SSD - you can add that later. Same thing for 16gb: add that later if you want. I changed the case because of preference, but I supposed you could get the one you like.

Or grab a brand new R9 380 and save himself from worrying if the 2nd hand 970 will have any hidden defect.

Here you can buy an original Windows 10 key for about $30 US: http://www.kinguin.net/category/22175/windows-10-home-oem-key/ I found out about this from Paul's Hardware on Youtube. You could use the extra $60 to buy a better processor. 

I also suggest you try and search for used GPUs. In a few weeks a ton of people are going to want to sell their GPUs to upgrade to the new Pascal and Polaris cards. so you can get a good deal on a better card, like a GTX 970 or an R9 390, even if it's used.

for OS, get it from kinguin/reddit at $20-30.
