Any Revisions? First build

[Tarek Itani]

This will be my first build ever. I am kind of a noob at this stuff so if I made any mistakes please correct them. For the SSD, I'm going to buy it later so I don't take away from the original build budget <900. Any part you see from Newegg includes the tax and shipping (I figured it out w/trial and error 😛). I will not need an OS and I plan to buy a keyboard and mouse separate from the budget as well. I have no plan to OC or SLI. Thanks.

Looks fine.

Staying with what you've currently got, I'd go with a larger storage drive since you've room in your budget.

There's cheaper case options out there though. I'd personally go with a cheaper case, say maybe the Cooler Master N200 ($39.99 @ Newegg + 4.99 s&h - $5 rebate), stick with the 1TB HDD, and add in a 120GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD ($69.99 @ Newegg).

Thanks for the feedback. I looked up the case and it's a Mini Tower. Won't fit an ATX mobo.

lol, Try looking up an n400. n200 is mATX, and n400 is ATX. Also an Enermax Ostrog.. They are nice

These prices seem high. Kinda odd

Yeah you can save some money if you're not so picky about where to get your parts.

Why spend 60$ on a case when the last case was 54$.... OP, If you like windowed PCs, the Ostrog may be a nice fit for you, but if you just want a decent looking case with good ariflow, consider the N400 From CM

Idc for a windowed case (If it has it great, if not so what). Between the Ostrog and the NZXT 220, which would you get?

 

[Bossyfins]

I prefer the Ostrog, just because from what pictures tell, it can hold a d15. which could be a ncie upgrade later. But I prefer Ostrog over anything unless, unless it was a Obsidian series case or Cosmos II


TLDR; Ostrog
