The Build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/8jBb4D
Alright, so a little while back I was planning this build and got some good feedback on what I'd managed to pull together. I'm not too used to building budget builds as everything I'm used to putting together is for very high end gaming. This was a fun new challenge. I just want a second pair of eyes to look at the components and make sure there isn't an option I'm missing out on.
They will EVENTUALLY get my hand-me-down i5-4690k and most likely my MSI r9 290 in the future and want to make sure that if possible the mobo is an LGA 1150 but other than that I was just trying to keep the price under $500. They already have a monitor and keyboard so those aren't really issues at this point.
And I know, not the most budget case in the world but the case was the thing my grandma cared about most and is pretty set on the Define R5 so that's gotta stay. (She wanted small footprint, black, ports on the top, silence, and easily removable dust filters that are removable from the front so she doesn't have to fiddle much.) If you can find another case for cheaper that has all those things, please tell me.
Anyways, I think this is probably the set up I'm going to purchase I just wanted to make sure it all looked good. The only compatibility error I'm getting on PCPP is that the MOBO may have an issue with the CPU since it's a Haskell refresh chip but from what I've found online the manufacturers of the MOBO should have updated all the BIOS by now before they even leave the factory.
Thanks for any help you guys and gals!
