My first PC build and first computer

[BABYPC]

I am thinking about building my first PC and it will also be my first PC, and i wanted to know if this build was good.

I am also on a budget of about £600

Two things:

 

1) Is there any rationale going into buying only a single stick of RAM? Maybe consider buying 2x4 GB...

2) Do you need 1TB of storage? Maybe drop the HDD and pick up something like a 850 evo 250Gb model (it's an ssd 11) and a smaller hdd, whatever keeps you in budget...

[BABYPC]

Ok, any thing else?

What size HDD should i get? 

 

Do you archive a lot of videos or plan on getting into media production?  This is typically why you get huge hard drives.

 

If you're primarily gaming the SSD serves you better, or you can get smaller versions of both drives on a budget.

When i add the SSD to the build it say this

• The motherboard M.2 slot #0 shares bandwidth with a SATA 6.0 Gb/s port. When the M.2 slot is populated, one SATA 6Gb/s port is disabled.

That's alright, you won't be using a m.2 ssd any time soon. It's a special form factor and m.2 ssds tend to be more expencive, you don't have to worry about it for now

If i was to upgrade the SSD and get rid of the HDD would that be better for Gaming

I agree with the PSU and mobo suggestion.  

 

I would say go for a larger SSD instead if you don't do other things like I mentioned.  The 7400 is ~10 percent slower for ~12 percent less.  It doesn't severely lag behind like the 6400 did, all kaby's are clocked pretty decent.

The load times of your games would improve, and so would the general responsiveness of your system.  I've been spoiled silly by SSD.

So should i stick with the 7400

I think you can stick to the 7400.  It's theoretically 10 percent slower, but I think with a 1050 ti both CPUs will perform about the same in gaming.

Also my friend said that if i am to build my own PC i need some kind of Special tools

He said you need a special screwdriver because you can static something

For #1 maybe out of budget range. So better update down the line by adding another 8, instead of miss matching RAM sizes?

Ignore him. I have been using magnetized screw drivers when building computers for years now.
