Future first build

[Rokas Luksys]

Hello, I'd like some help for my 1st build (for gaming, would like to run games like gta 5 on high/medium), I have no real experience in pc parts so I'd appreciate your feedback. What I'm planning to build - http://pcpartpicker.com/list/LrjJ8K. Thanks!

What are you doing with this build? Are you wanting to play games?

- Switched motherboard to one that allows a RAM upgrade later on

- Cheaper DDR4

- Cheaper, consumer Hard Drive

- Added an SSD

- Switched power supply to the newer, better CXM

 

If you're not going to build for a while, definitely wait for the release of the new generation of GPUs at lower price points. We're waiting on a $150 RX 470 from AMD and perhaps something from Nvidia

This would be better if it's for gaming but I highly advise waiting for the RX 470 to come out.

You guys are awesome, thanks. Didn't think I'd get help that fast. Yes, this will be a gaming build and I think about building it after Christmas so waiting for an rx 470 or gtx 1050 would be a good idea

Could you change the ssd? I can't find this one in my country and I have a bad history with ordering from other countries, for some reason amazon shows that the items get delivered, but I don't get them and they refuse to refund me

Try one of these

 

Adata SP550

OCZ Trion 150

Crucial BX200

PNY CS1311

Intel 535

 

(they all perform about the same, get the cheapest)
