First Build Is It Good?

[ugotowned]

Hey guys I'm new to PC building and I was wondering if this build was good if you think I should change any parts please tell me which ones thanks and yes I know I can build one and I know I can have ncix.com build it for me but I just don't want them to just tell me what you think and help me make improvements. (I would also like to keep it 1300 or under a little over is fine)

Apparently it's not a website

Doesn't provide enough info eg what make and model power supply?

* CPU is 4 core and will do quite well with just about anything you throw at it.
* Mobo is last gen, but is cheap and if you decide later to upgrade to a "K" model (OC'ing friendly one) than you can do it without changing the Mobo.
* RAM runs at stock voltage (1.5v) and comes with low profile heat spreaders, so you can add aftermarket CPU/HSF without too much concern.
* I added a pretty quick SSD and of decent size (256 gb's) for your Boot drive and for several of your favorite games/apps.
* I upgraded your GPU to one of the better ones to get for the $. You can go with a GTX 780 if you prefer Nvidia, but this AMD GPU is => than the 780, IMHO.
* Included a good solid and not too expensive case to hold all of the parts. I have build a system with this case and really like the features and quality of them.
* PSU is plenty for any single GPU out on the market.
* I included your OS listed.
* I also put in a good Monitor with an HDMI input. I personally own this Monitor and like the price/value that I get with it.

Your build above is very CPU heavy, IMHO, for a gaming system. If you don't game much (which it looks like you do game) than you would benefit from a bit less CPU power and more GPU power, IMHO, which is why I put a build together above to reflect a much better gaming/all around system.

+1 This is exactly the way I think.



And that is the partpicker website I was talking about.
