1st time build!

[ttom25rocks]

Here's the link to the parts: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/ttom25rocks/saved/#view=Km...


Any suggestions to the build? This is basically right around my budget (I'd rather it be around $1,000 though), and I am hoping the prices will go down for black friday/cyber monday, does anyone see some of these parts going down in price around that time? Also, if I were to try and build this myself, how would I go about doing so?

Thanks so much for reading.

Not a particularly good PSU, I'd strongly suggest EVGA G2, Corsair RMx, or Seasonic G series 550/650 watt units instead.

I would make the RAM kit 16GBs. Otherwise it looks great!

If you want to save money go with an i5 6500 and non "Z" motherboard. It won't bottleneck the GTX 1070, and it'll save you around $100.

PSU isn't the best; I swapped it out for a seasonic unit. The Cryborig H7 is a much better cooler, as it's more silent and better for airflow in your case. I upgraded to 16 gb of memory. I added a 275gb m.2 ssd that will make your system a lot faster. I swapped out the 970 you found for a SC EVGA 1060 6gb, which performs better. I also swapped out the case you chose for a the Zalman Z1 neo, as cable managment in the Corsair one isn't the best. (this should come down to personal preference though).

Also, you can get windows 10 for like $25 here:

You should spend some time on youtube watching PC building guides, as they're everywhere. I know that austin evans, bit wit, and linus tech tips made a few good ones though.

Good luck!!!

Thanks so much for reading. (P.S. I posted another thread that had the wrong link on it, this has the new link to the parts...)

What is it for?

What is it for?

Gaming.

Everything is pretty much as good as can be. I have no idea what will and what won't be on sale in black friday and cyber Monday. Building the computer is easy, as long as you don't use brute force and think about what you're doing and not rush. First, touch a grounded, bare metal. Don't build on carpet. I normally start by putting the CPU into the socket itself. This is normally the most stressful part, since a slip and a simple reflex could cause you to push the CPU's corners into the socket and damage the pins. After that, I get the case, line up all the screw holes, and put the motherboard in. After that, I put in the power supply and route the cables in their general directions. After that, I put in the CPU cooler, hard drives, and RAM and start plugging in all the cables where they go. Lastly, I put in the graphics card, plug in it's PCIe cable, check my connections, and attempt startup.
