A good first gaming build

[PH-G7]

Wanted to build myself a new gaming computer for around $1,000 to $1,500. This is what I came up with so far.

Please spend less money on the CPU Cooler... some 50$ air cooler is more than enough for a standard CPU like that...then get a larger screen, 21,5 inch is pretty small, trust me!
with the money saved from the cooler you could also upgrade to 16GB of RAM.
I guess you want to keep the black and red color scheme so I won't suggest anything else for those parts...
Have fun with your new build!

Unless you have a specific need for an optical drive, ditch it. It's not a very good use of your money. Other than that, I don't see too much wrong with your system.

ok I'll defiantly look into that

What do you think about this one?

that's not too bad but I would also need a wireless adapter because in my current situation, a hard wired solution doesn't work.

I would exchange the Liquid Cooling with Air Cooling since its kinda ridiculous for that Setup and use that Money on an Samsung 250GB SSD and i dont think you need Windows 10 Pro which saves you another 40 Bucks to spend on 16GB (2x8) of Cosair RAM instead of 8 GB. I would choose a cheaper case and a different mouse/keyboard (Razer Blackwidow/ Steelseries Rival) but i guess thats personal preference..

Awesome Build but its a little bit to pricey now isnt it? :c I hope some people here have some cool ideas to save you some money!

You could just change the liquid cooling for air cooling...to lower the price

That's a good build but really at the top end of my budget (technically $4 over)

 

For people saying I should change the cooler I might consider that...
