new build

[Ryan Gadek]

Hello,

I have never built a computer before but i want to make one. I am on a budget and would not like to spend more than 700 but I still want to have a beast computer that can handle games like overwatch and league but that can still be good for productivity. I have put together a list of parts and I would love to have this but it is just too expensive and I was wondering if anyone would have any options that would be cheaper. I would also like to hear of any different parts that would be better  I would also like any tips for the computer.

Here is the list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8VzrRG

Thanks for everything

1. That's an older CPU

2. You added 2 CPU coolers

3. You had a non-overclockable CPU with an overclocking board

4. ...I'll just make you a list.

This has a newer CPU, a better GPU and a great upgrade path (i7 6700, better GPU, more RAM, SSD)

You're in luck! That's what I specialize in (other than choosing the best PSUs ever).

 

I'm going to completely overhaul the build with a last gen processor and RAM. It will give you way better performance in general, and costs a lot less.

I would recommend skylake generation of CPU's instead of haswell... same price, better performance. I would then also recommend a 1050ti instead of a 1050. noticably better performance, marginal price increase (if you can't afford the upgrade, step down to 8GB of RAM and use the saved money to get a 1050ti). PSU is meh, but also not out of place in this sort of build. You could save money on your motherboard if you don't need a Z series chipset (Z chipsets enable overclocking and SLI mostly). Other than that its a fine build (assuming the 2 coolers is a misclick and you meant for only the one)

Skylake + RX 470 + FreeSync

So you want at most $700 was that it? Windows and monitor included?

 

Or otherwise what budget in total?

[Ryan Gadek]

I could go a bit higher but it would be best if we could stay a around 700- 800
