[HELP NEEDED] Please help me review my build.

[chewy_TAG]

Hello community, this is my first time doing a computer build and I have research a whole 2 weeks and come into conclusion of a build.

I mainly play league of legends and would like to try other games like fifa 14 and games like smite. I am a noob in this things so i would plead if any kind soul out there could help me with reviewing this build. Any help is greatly appreciated.

My computer build link is : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2oGK5

Thank you community in advance.

Cheers,
Chewy

There's no reason for a case that expensive, you could get an 8320 and a cheaper (but still more than average) case. Besides that, it looks great.

Thanks ewok93,

What do you mean by 8320 ? Do you mean a Corsair 8320 case ? Thanks for complimenting my build ! I hope to get a few more reviews for my build before I buy it.

Cheers,
Chewy

He means an FX 8320 CPU. That case is SUPER expensive - get a decent one for around $40, get a better motherboard (the LE version of that one is pretty poor) and ebef up the CPU / GPU. There's no need for a case that expensive unless you have money to burn.

Also, you'd be fine with an 80+ bronze PSU.

WOW, thanks JOOK-D,

I was wondering what are the games that this build guide can support to? Another question is that what is the currency that the pcpartpicker is showing ? Because i need to change the currency to see if it fits my budget. Therefore, if its within my budget, I think I would start to purchase the parts in a month or two.

Cheers,
Chewy

Should be able to play anything you throw at it on pretty high settings.

The currency is US Dollars. In the top-right corner of the site you should be able to change the country/currency - see if yours is there.

Yeah, that build is great, all from cutting down the case (which has no effect on performance except ventilation, which you can get enough of in a $20 case). Also has a less powerful power supply, but it is still plenty, and a very good quality one at that.
