It'll work.

get at least an 80+ Bronze efficient PSU and you should be good.

I would not get a Seagate drive and opt for a better brand personally... but other than that, this built looks good.

Western Digital does seem to be the go to brand for HDD's

@bt14 seasonic s12II is already 80+ bronze, thanks for your concern.
@jafrankl is wd really better than seagate?

 

[jafrankl]

I have both WD drives and a Seagate... can honestly say *my* Seagate has been blessed with no issues for 2.5 years now. I did however have to update the firmware so the drive would not blow itself to bits. Literally smash its own heads into each other if I didn't update.

WD has solid products with good performance...

It's up to you in the end, but you asked for opinions.

 

[magnitude18]

will it sustain even on hot weather ?

 

[Finkledbody]

OP. Your concerned with things that don't really matter. The Seagate will work just fine.

Order away and have fun building it!

 

[jafrankl]

Ambient temperature won't really affect the performance... unless it's 100+°C outside... GPUs don't throttle till 80°C, your case has good airflow, and your parts should stay cool. If you are worried, get an aftermarket CPU cooler to help, install the PSU with exhaust going out the bottom of the case (if possible), and add a case fan if there's room.

thanks guys.
i plan to build it this coming saturday. thanks for the help.
one last thing if i get wd what should i pick? caviar blue or green?

 

[jafrankl]

DO NOT GET A GREEN. Blue or Black for this build will work great. Greens have been known to be long-term storage drives with bad firmware. They basically park and unpark their heads hundreds of times an hour and make their effective lifetime a matter of months at most.

I've search the cpu compatibility with my motherboard it says that they suggest to update the bios, do i really need to update the mobo bios?

 

[BT14]

It should already be updated when you get it.
