building a new computer need tips

[KScorp]

Got a build set up for ya: https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/MySavedWishDetail.aspx?ID=19142908

 

$685, all components you need in the tower. You can upgrade the video card if you have the budget, since I picked one that will play all the games today at top settings, or near top for the demanding games. You don't really need a power CPU to play games these days. It's mostly in the GPU. So I picked a good, cheap AMD processor.

 

I made this really quick, so while everything should fit together, I didn't check.

 

If you have any questions about it, just ask.

don't listen to trak on the PSU. after this last build, finally using a modular power supply, i'll NEVER go back to non-modular. its really that wonderful.

 

where did I say NOT to use modular you feg

 

I love modular! but the 750W is gonna be over kil and out of budget most likely and apparently they dont have the 650W modular on new egg anymore...

 

But if you do want to spend the money for the 750 modular by all means go ahead...

But with the money saved you could buy something else...

that is assuming your buying a corsair psu which is what youll want to do cause they never blow...oh wait...

Corsairs are very reliable.

they really are..I was kidding..tink just had bad luck...and its a UK one

 

But corsair psus are awesome, Shadow isnt a big fan of silverstone but they make a decent product..

Id go with corsair but silverstone has more affordable modular ones I think

my best tip is go to newegg.com which you can order parts of computers and if you need help you should talk to their specialists.

True, if you're tryin to save money, don't get the 750 watt I got it's incredible, but also incredibly expensive
