So I am a first-timer with building. After some research I think I came up with a decent hardware list but I could be very wrong. Let me know what you think of it.


  • mobo - Gigabyte GA-H77N-WIFI
    CPU - core i7 - 3770
    RAM - Kingston HyperX Blu
    Storage - PNY Optima SSD 73C240
    PSU - Corsair CX500
    case fan - Cooler Master R4-L2R-20AC-GP
    Case - Corsair SPEC-03 Orange

I am looking to do some development so I may try to run Mac OS on this in the future but for now it is just Windows 8. I will be using Solidworks and Autodesk Inventor, which will probably be the most demanding thing I do. I have an external Seagate 1TB hard drive that I will also use.

I plan on getting a higher end GPU once I have the money but for now I was hoping to rely on the integrated graphics of my cpu. Also I want to have a dual monitor setup. Does this require any additional hardware?

I really appreciate any comments! Thanks!
 
Solution
I would get newer (4790K and Z97 board) parts, and a higher quality PSU (1 2 or 2b here https://community.newegg.com/eggxpert/computer_hardware/f/135081/p/45344/323055.aspx#323055).
