Is This A Good Build?

[TyFilms]

So I'm getting ready for my first PC build! Yay very exciting and whatever. Here's the build: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/PhWDjc

Is anything bottlenecking (is that how you use the term lol)? I'll be doing some gaming on sort of demanding titles like Far Cry and Fallout. I'll also be doing some light video editing for YouTube commentaries. And just normal browsing on YouTube, chacking emails, and whatever. I'm getting Windows 10 from Kinguin so it's not on there. But how is it? Is everything okay? It pretty much fits my budget perfectly but I can go just a LITTLE BIT over. Will it be ok? Also, I know there's no HDD, but my case doesn't have a place for optical drives and I'm pretty set on having that case soooo.....

You have 3 HDD bays. HDDs are Hard-Disk Drives, nothing to do with optical drives (cd readers/burners). You'd have trouble finding a case thats SSD only. Only a 120GB SSD ? your going to reget that really quick trying to play games and downloading them. Best combo is a 120GB SSD for a boot drive and a 1-2TB HDD for mass storage.

 

Bottlenecking is the correct term, and there shouldn't be any in this build.

its okay. first, unless you are overclocking dont get a hyper 212 evo. second, you forgot to include a price for the gpu. last, unless you dont need more storage, get a wd blue 1tb hdd.

Budget? The stock cooler is included with locked i5s, you dont need aftermarket coolers (Unless you want it for acoustics). Get RX 480 instead of R9.

the 212 evo is much quieter than a stock cooler, definetly worth it for that and the looks improvement for only $25.

yes but on a budget its better to spend that cash on a nicer gpu, ram, cpu etc.. and deal with a louder system till you can afford to replace the cooler, than it is to get a cooler, and be stuck with a worse system

what is $25 going to get you in terms of better RAM, CPU, or GPU?

 

the CPU will run much cooler, all the time, and much quieter, going from audible to silent, while making the PC look way more badass and custom built than a stock cooler. Building so many PCs, K series or not, budget or not, I find something like a 212 evo always worth it, if not for the noise factor alone, simply because you won't get close to such an improvement for only $25 anywhere else.

This is a bit cheaper but it has an HDD.

• I replaced the SSD with a cheaper yet reliable one at the same capacity.
• I replaced the PSU with a cheaper corsair one, it's still semi-modular and is more powerful (more power was not needed but I couldn't find a cheaper one with less power).
• I believe the original case was a bit too expensive for a budget build, since you got a semi modular supply, why not pick a small micro atx case? You've already picked such a motherboard.  The case is a personal option so you can change it to whatever you want. 
• Removed the aftermarket cooler, it is not required but if you want it get it, it's not very expensive. 
• Changed the GPU to RX 470. It's more recent, better, cheaper.
