Hello, this is my first ever PC gaming build so any advice/tips/product knowledge would be appreciated. I've tried to look at reviews, benchmarks and value for money when looking at each of my components but I'm not an expert so I wanted to post my build to Toms hardware just to check before ordering the parts. I mainly wanted to know about compatibility issues and any problems people had with the components i've chosen or if I've missed anything out.
Also, if you think, for any of the components, that you can find something similar from the UK for a cheaper price please tell me!
Anyway here's my build:
CPU - Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Motherboard - Asus Z97-P ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory - G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage - Toshiba 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive and
Plextor M5S Series 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Video Card - MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V Video Card
Case - NZXT S340 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case
PSU - Corsair Builder 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
Monitor - Asus VS228HR 60Hz 21.5" Monitor
Again, ANY advice or tips are greatly appreciated and if you think you can find any similar components from the UK that are cheaper please mention it. Thank you.
