New build for first timer.

[Brett_Bst]

Hi all, after watching most of his YouTube vids I have decided to build my own pc, I have a i5 brought pc which I use but want to start playing more games on better settings and would just like to build my own, so I have a list of parts I will link was just looking for opninons on expected performance and could I change anything for a cheaper version but still get the same specs, I will be building another at some time but this is the first so don't want to do water colliding but may add it at some point, I will be adding a ssd at some point also, thanks for info and help .

also I would consider used parts aswell.

i want to run basic games at high settings and will also like to run 2 moniters at 1080p for now

thanks agian all

Get cheap Windows from Kinguin
Add a SSD if you want

Don't get the 7350k, and don't spend that much on the motherboard in this build as it makes everything really unbalanced. I'd recommend getting a Ryzen 5 1600, B350 mobo +- 100$, don't get the green label CX units, go with a EVGA G2/3, grey label CXM or even better an RMx unit, and lastly get the SSD now and expand with a HDD later. That way you don't have to reinstall windows, and you will have a much better experience out of the box. OS, Case and cooler are up to you.

Awesome thanks for all the replays, are there any draw backs to useing a AMD rather then Intel cpu ?

i will be doing light coding for java other than that is there any reason people don't like to use AMD over intel ? 

Sorry for the noob questions lol

AMD haven't released a "gaming" centered desktop cpu since 2011, therefore people have only used intel after that. This changed with the new ryzen cpus, and you will be MUCH better off with a ryzen cpu for your coding and stuff since they have a 4 core/ 8thread CPU at close to the same price as the 2 core/ 4thread i3 you were looking at.

Bias. Also thunderbolt. Bottom line it doesn't matter. Right now the 1600 is the best bang for the buck around your price range.

Ok cool, thanks all for the fast response and all the info
