New to pc building and I need some advice
Not for professional gaming and just for recreation
This is what I plan on getting http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/
 
Solution


Its a good build but I would switch the PSU to a fully modular for that cost and I would go with either a Seagate or Western Digital HDD.
We are unable to see your build in that link. If you could grab the "permalink" on the left hand side that would help. For comparison, the build below is ready to be overclocked, more memory, and a second GPU if more graphics muscle is needed.
