first build :)

[Pancake2k]

So im doing my first pc build And iv checked all my parts for compatibility. (however i couldnt use pc part picker, for some reason my storage device wasnt on there and there was two of the same motherboard...weird) but before i go and purchase everything... I would just like to run the components by you guys. Considering you guys have more experience than me about this stuff . any recommendations you have for diffrent parts or my build  you can also post here and i will respect them.

 

Anyway on to the components

Asus a68hm-k fm2+ amd a68h fch motherboard

I bundled this with the AMD Athlon x4 860k quad core processer

 

My case is a diy solo-T1-R black case. Nothing fancy but it should hold up especially for the price

 

A 400watt psu from evga. (keep in mind this is a value build, im not slapping in any titan x's or sli. The most ill put in here is a gtx 950)

 

G.skills ripjaws ram ddr3 8gb 4x2 sticks(again i dont need anything fancy just enough to do what im doing)

 

And a silicon power slim s55 ssd 120gb. (i know i know, why not a mechanical drive?. In the past iv had very bad experiences of hdd's failing and i dont want my main drive to be mechanical. At some point ill get a bigger hdd for secondary storage) and yes im aware that this ssd is slow, its value after all, but it should still be marginally faster than a 7200rpm hdd so im sticking with it.

 

And that is my build any questions,recomendations,or issues with my build i will be happy to adjust or fix.

 

Thx

Switch the S55 for the SP550, the 860k for the 880k or the 845. What GPU?

Better quality one at the least. And you don't have a GPU of anykind. As of now, everything would just be a glorified paper weight.

As he/she/it has said above, the PSU you bought is of very poor quality as it can explode under load. I would suggest spending $15 extra can buying this. http://slickdeals.net/f/9163635-550-watt-seasonic-g-series-80-plus-gold-certified-semi-modular-power-supply-ssr-550rm-for-44-99-ar-free-shipping-newegg-com

 

Also, you don't have a GPU, though if you're not gaming, this will be fine. Add a 750Ti from eBay for $50 dollars if you want to play games in the future.
