gaming PC build from first timer

[djxgrizz]

Hey guys I'm attempting my first gaming PC purchase and I want to make sure I didn't do something dumb with it. Help would be much appreciated

The parts seem about right, 4690K + GTX 970 is a great combo.

This looks like a prebuilt rig. What power supply is it coming with? They often try to bundle in junk ones. Same with CPU coolers, they'll try to sell you some cruddy liquid cooler that performs worse than a $25 air cooler.

yeah your right. matter of fact this looks exactly like the format cyerpower uses, so im guessing this is a cyberpower prebuilt. Dude save yourself money and build a PC. it's not hard. I saw a 5 year old, an 8 year old, a teen, and an adult do it.

It has the standard 120mm liquid cooler from cyberpower and I went with a 600 Watts - EVGA 600B 80 PLUS BRONZE Power Supply

I hope that's everything I've missed.

Honestly I would avoid cyberpowerpc. If you must use cyberpowerpc then at least get a big air cooler or a very nice liquid kit, that one will probably break in 2 weeks. Also, Cyberpower offers the XFX 550w IIRC, get that instead.

You sure you don't want to build it yourself? For $1000 you can get an i5 4690k and GTX 970 build with an SSD and all sorts of other nice things.

I would love to I just need to know if I need to buy a specific wiring set with all the parts to hook it up with

Also what power supply and cooling should I get with this? I will probably mess around with the overclocking a bit and want to be safe.

If you want to do the prebuilt, cyberpowerpc has an XFX 550w PSU I would use instead. Or get the 850w EVGA GS (not the B1!) if you want to SLI later on. For the cooler I would either go with the H110i liquid cooling or the Enermax 120mm air cooler. And the motherboard I would get the Asus Z97-A, or the MSI or Gigabyte Gaming 7.

If you're building it yourself here's everything you would need for a killer build:

No extra wires, screws, or cables needed. It comes with everything you need. You just need a screwdriver, and hour of your time, and to watch a couple youtube videos on what part goes where.

Looks awesome much appreciated but what exactly does the solid state drive do?

 

[timeconsumer]

You know when you boot up your PC how it takes about 60 seconds? Imagine it happening in less than 15. And when you go to load your games and it takes 30 seconds, instead it takes 5. That's a solid state drive. No moving parts, can last for 10 years, and fast as lightning.
