First PC build

[krich93]

Ok guys, I have been posting a lot on here asking for help with parts and such. Well this is my first PC build. I will be using it for gaming, streaming, downloading, etc. Here is what I have come up with. Any thoughts/suggestions are greatly appreciated as I want to make sure that I do it right the first time.

The gtx 650 isn't very good for gaming i would go for a much cheaper core. like an i3 4340 (if you are doing this swap the motherboard for a socket 1150), spend the money instead on a much more powerful gpu. Don't worry about bottlenecks because this core is a powerhouse and can handle anything up to a gtx 780 no problems.

Also 16gb ram is meant for extreme video editing like adobe after effects. You can swap this out for 8gb and spent that money on something like a secondary hdd which will come in handy since 128gb isn't much.

And you need a case because of you don't it will be classed as a workstation not a pc

This is the case that I will be using. I didn't include it there because I did not see it.

I plan to connect it to my HDTV.

I would probably settle with 12gb of ram for futures sake and take the i3-4340 with a 1150 socket as Talal suggested. That case is a good pick. For the graphics card i would pay the extra cash and get a GTX760.

Ok, here is the edited list. After a little bit of research, I want to go with the NVIDIA GTX 760. It us $20 cheaper. I traded out the A-DATA Premier Pro 128GB hard drive for seagate 1TB.
