First time build

[TheAlmightyCucumber]

Hi there

 

I'm building a computer (1080p gaming) for the first time.

 

I'm from Denmark and my budget is around 1000 USD.

 

The games I'm looking to play are Overwatch, CS:GO, BF1 and others.

 

The build I would like to go for: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/vR7dqk

 

Any suggestions for changes will be greatly appreciated.

You don't have an SSD, get a 250GB SSD like a Crucial BX300 or SK Hynix SL308.

The PSU is over priced and not very good, get a EVGA G2, B2, GS, GQ, Anything from Seasonic or XFX (excluding the XT), Corsair Vengeance, CX 450/550/650M, RMi/RMx/HXi or Antec High Current Gamer instead.

Looks good... but!

500W PSU is enough.

You NEED an SSD otherwise you'll go mad.

16GB is overkill.

 

Everything else is fine.

Go SSD. I made that mistake with my current Laptop and I'm tearing my hair appart.

That is a terrible PSU...

 

This is probably a better overall setup.

Another thing , you don't need such a beefy cpu cooler something a little smaller and cheaper will also do the job just fine.
