First PC Build; Help Wanted

[slxthr]

First Off! This is my first build so I am a little inexperienced with some stuff so bear with me!

 

Hi, I am trying to build a well fit gaming PC (CSGO, Rust, Payday 2, DOOM 2016) and I don't know if its Mid  or High tier but from word from others, I'm sure its In the middle.

 

I have:

ASUS P8B75-M/CSM Micro ATX

Intel Core i5-2380P (3.10 GHz)

Cooler Master Hyper T2

Corsair Vengence 8GB (1600 MHz) x2

 

What I've been recommended:

Samsung 860 Evoo 500GB SSD

MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (DirectX 12, 4GB, 128 Bit, GDDR5)

Corsair CXMM 550W (Modular)

 

*Not Recommended a PC case but what would I need that will fit my specs?

 

Just want some second opinions on what I've been thinking of getting and even if maybe I need any upgrades on my current specs.

Thank you for any feedback!

You don't need a 500 GB SSD, especially a really nice one. All it helps with is load times. And your money would be better spent elsewhere. The power supply should be fine, the 1050 TI should be fine, although I'd probably try to find a used 960 4gb instead (it'd be cheaper, and it's roughly the same performance)

 

If I were you, I'd buy a 120 gb SSD, and a 1 TB HDD.

 

If you want to save money you don't NEED a modular power supply, it just makes everything look "neater". 

 

As for a case, that's up to personal preference. You just need a micro ATX or ATX case that supports micro ATX.

Well, in general it's not a bad recommendation, but this is actually the first time I've ever seen that cpu here. The ssd is expensive, but samsung is one of the best of the market together with micron (sold as crucial). The 1050 ti is a great budget card, but a 570 or 580 is also something to look into. And the cx550m is my personal psu, for that budget it's enough. You would need a matx or atx tower to fit it into. Depending on your upgrade path.

I'll probably go with the 1050 Ti because I work at best buy and my discount ion it is pretty good (less than $100)

 

I'll go with the 1 TB HDD and 120 SSD tho because it seems better than investing all my money into only one SSD

 

Personally I would like a Modular because of the neatness and such, its just what i like personally!

 

Alright, I wasn't sure if some cases were skinnier than others and wouldn't fit all  my stuff. Thanks for the input tho!

For cases, the description should tell you if it won't fit full sized cards, but the vast majority of cases will fit everything you have easily.

A cheap and used i7 could also help you in games.  You need a case for this unless you just want to run this on top of a table looking all messy.
