Building a computer for the first time, do these parts all work together?

[Merfner]

Hey guys, I just got my tax money and am building a PC for my girlfreind. It's the first time I've built a computer. Is this a decent one? I can't go any more expensive.

We want it for gaming. Mostly League of Legends, Sims, and stuff like that. Nothing huge like Battlefield.


We would also like it to stream.

Keep in mind I attempted to put it together myself, and basically didn't know if I was doing it right, so how is it?

Any suggestions appreciated!

What operating system are you running on this thing? if Windows add another $100 to the tag price.

In addition, that PSU is mighty cheap at $35. Might end up dying on you for all you know. If you have a micro center near you, you would shave off an additional $50 in parts.

Hitachi is not that great of a drive, stick with Western Digital or Seagate, especially for an OS drive.

Corsair CPU is always on sale because system builders know they have lower quality capacitors and are not up to the demands of gaming.

That NZXT case is better thent hat Apevia junk.

WiFi is bad a whole for games, you should look at powerline networking if you just cant hardwire it to router. A usb wifi stick is the worst option for trying to game.

The 265 is not great but will work for what you want it for, and you can always upgrade latter.
