Do I really need the RX 480? It seems like a bit much for my needs

it'll last much longer than the current gtx 960/380/380x, with the performance of a gtx 980/r9 fury. definitely worth the wait. you can use the iGPU in your i5 until then, it's still enough for games at mid-low settings.

even with two storages? Will one have to be inserted first/ given priority somehow?

What wattage should I try and stick to?

you can insert them at any order, just remember to store your OS in the ssd.

a good 500-550w psu will do just fine.

If you absolutely want a cd-reader (i'm considering getting one, just in case the need ever arises) you shouldn't buy ones that are above 30$. They're a rip off

I can be a bit of an imbecile, where can I find one for under 30$ with blu-ray?

Okay, new setup

Anything wrong with this?

the b700 is okay for lower-end builds, but you can do better. corsair's CX650M or antec's HCG-620M will be better for a few bucks more after rebates.

you will want to upgrade the ram to 16gb later but 8 is probably fine for now. and you have thought of the os right?

I might as well get the 16gb now, I haven't got a clue what I'll do yet for an OS...

(by that I mean I haven't decided, I know how to install one)

a windows license is around 80-100 dollars there are websites where you can get one for like 20 dollars like g2a but you have to be a little careful with them and use a payment method that you can charge back the money if the key you get doesnt work

get your windows OS key from reddit for $20-30.

Of course! I'm so sorry

budget: I'm trying for under 700$ but if we have to get close to 800 that's okay

Uses: Other than gaming, school work, light video editing, and maybe light music editing

Location: US 

Monitor needed

No old pc

Alright no problem! ^_^

The build alone is ~$750. For now, I'm recommending a 21.5 inch monitor, but if you want bigger ones, pick a FreeSync one. Or from here: http://pcpartpicker.com/products/monitor/#A=2&sort=a8&page=1

 

If you can wait till June 29th, you can pick one of AMD's next generation Graphics cards, which are both faster and cheaper than current offerings. But if you cannot, stick with the one on this build.

Here's the build:

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.

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.

This is my recommendation. I don't settle for "good enough", especially when it comes to utilization and value for money. ;)
