Can someone check my build (this is my first time).

[Andrew Haass]

Thanks for reading and i appreciate all the help. I am building a system completely from scratch. I have about 1,000 dollars but I do not want to spend it all if i don't have too. Im looking for a computer that can game and keep up with the future for a few years. Im not hardcore about gaming but I want to enjoy them also.

This is my build

I have no idea if I'm missing anything, and I only partially sure that they all work together / will fit in the case.

Also have no idea if i need more fans or any other parts for that matter.

I am completely open to change any part all I ask is that you give me an explanation.
If this computer is way to powerful for an AVERAGE gamer let me know too.

Thanks you for anyone who will take the time and help me.

Hi, Your build looks cool. But I prefer 285 over 280X. I blv there is not that much difference in the cost of both.
And Disk drive is not mandatory to install Windows, u can also boot from a usb drive. But still convenient solution is Disk Drive.
Get a single 8GB RAM if you are planning to upgrade you RAM in the future, before changing motherboard. Cz ur max memory is 32GB.

amd 280x is more powerfull video card .
285 performs more or less on par with amd 280 or gtx 960 .
