Hello,

 

I am really new to PCs and do not know anything about them, other than the bits of research I have done. 

 

Can someone that knows a lot about computers help me with my build (that one of my friends helped me chose), and help me change what I need to change. 

 

MY MOBO IS WHAT I NEED HELP WITH MOST

 

AND I HAVE NO GRAPHIC CARD CAUSE IDK WHAT TO BUY

I have a budget of $1,000 and just want a fast PC that can game at 1080p 60fps

Ok this is a pretty solid build but you might want to go with a Z170 motherboard, some DDR4 and a 6700k for the processor because its a newer generation and you will also need a graphics card but i would hold off until AMD launches there Polaris line of cards

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

I can do better for less money.

This is more than enough for solid 1080P gaming at maximum detail.

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

Only yours, you don't shitpost on the same level that we can, mainly because this thread is finally dead and should be locked.

I wasn't wrong. It's extremely rare that I am. I provided sources as well. Different devs can disagree. Further, we now have confirmed discrepancy from Twitter about he use of the pre-release 1080 driver in AMD's demo despite the release 1080 driver having been out a week prior.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.

Your PSU is of lower quality and your CPU cooler is weaker.

Indeed, but that is how I was able to afford a better case and a faster, 240GB SSD. Also that thermaltake PSU has pretty good ratings on amazon:

 

http://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Standard-Bronze-ATX12V-SP-650P/dp/B00B6A8N3O

 

Tweaktown tore down the 750w PSU and gave it a good review:

 

http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/5613/thermaltake-smart-750-watt-80-plus-bronze-power-supply-review/index.html

 

It's up to OP, but If it was me I would buy this PSU and used my money saved for a faster 240GB SSD.

Yeah, no. A PSU´s quality should not be deemed by it´s reviews.

Why not? Reviews is literally analyzing the quality of the product. Let's see what @STRMfrmXMN thinks. STRMfrmXMN, would you buy this thermaltake Smart series 650w PSU?

Gonna have to agree with Star here, the Smart isn't that great. User reviews don't deem the quality of the unit, official reviews and specsheets do. Most of those reviews are either "Didn't work out of the box 1 star rip PSU" or "Have had the PSU for 11 minutes I love it, 5 star review."

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

You could take another $25 off your build if you ordered the 4790k from microcenter(its on sale for $290), since the op said he lives near one.
