This is going to be my first gaming computer build. I spent a lot of time looking up parts but need advice on some of them. I will be mostly using this for gaming and I will not overclock.
How does this build look? Any changes I should make?
My build:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/QgVNgs
CPU: intel i5 (I think i7 is not necessary for gaming)
MOBO: I have no idea which mobo to get. I chose Asus because I heard they are the best.
Ram: I want 8gb so I just chose a random one for that. Is there any particular manufacturer or brand that is better?
PSU: I don't know how to choose which is a good PSU. I chose something that was at least bronze certified and at least 500W.
GPU: I chose the R9 270X because I heard it is the best value. It will allow me to run intensive games smoothly.
Case: I just chose something fits everything. Is there any good one that you guys recommend?
Approximate Purchase Date: July-Sept 2014
Budget Range: $1000
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, watching movies, surfing internet
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, Amazon
Country: USA
Parts Preferences: none
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe? I don't know much about this.
Additional Comments:
I want to buy the parts that give me the most for my money. I don't need the best of the best. I want to build a computer that can run games at the highest settings no problem at the cheapest cost.
