Build Check

[Wasdqert]

I've found all the parts for a new computer but want to make sure that all the parts are compatible, and that they aren't 3 or 4 generations out of date. Anyone see anything that doesn't meet those criteria? http://pcpartpicker.com/list/Gyf9JV

This is all pretty dated imo. Is this meant to be a budget gaming build? What's your pricepoint? I would go for something like a Skylake i3-6100 and GTX 950 (or RX 480 if you can fit it).

I wouldn't get the Ranger-M, it's terrible in terms of cable management. I had it.

Did you forget storage or was it intentional?

 

If yes, then you should really save up a few more dollars and go something like this:

I left out storage as I was planning on using the 1 terabyte drive I've got in my current system.

Also yes this is meant to be a budget build preferably as cheap as possible while still having decent hardware. Under $500 is best as I don't exactly have a steady or very good source of income.

In that case I suggest you still buying a SSD for OS and programs. SSD is a must nowadays and make the whole system snappy.

And if I just wanted to throw Windows 10 on a ssd with everything else on the hdd, what is the minimum size ssd that you would recommend?

OS + programs is recommended and 60 or 64 gb is more than enough, usually. OS itself is about 30 gb and programs another 10-20 gb.

HDD is obsolete for people who don't need mass storage. SSD is better in every way possible (excluding price per GB).

How???

 

SSDs are definitely more reliable than any HDD since it doesn't have any moving parts.

hdd is more reliable cause there is moving parts inside while flash storage with any kind of load on it will gust fry itself

Some people actually prefer their Windows to be quick and snappy, HDD will never provide you that. HDD has become a second storage option for people who can't afford a single big SSD.

I built a few systems in that case, its really all you are going to get for that price. And the cable management is actually good if you put a little bit of time into it. Shove all the extra cables into the CD drive bay and run what you need. It is great for a small, cheap case and has sufficient airflow for a stock Intel cooler.
