Is this a solid build for the money? Its my first time building a computer and i want to make sure all the components are compatible with each other. It will be used mostly for gaming, like skyrim and whatnot.

For some reason you have a tiny motherboard in quite a big case, I would get a full ATX or mATX motherboard. Other than that it looks OK.

 

[timkwalsh]

Well what mobo would you suggest? I cant seem to find one that is affordable, reliable and supports the rest of my hardware.
Thanks!

 

[dudewitbow]

you could legitimately get a better psu for the same price


you might want this too

 

[timkwalsh]

I forgot about the bundles! Thank you very much!

 

[dudewitbow]

heres another one coming your way


if you still have money left over, push for a better gpu

 

[jmsellars1]

This one is better and cheaper

incase op decides for that mobo

Now that you've saved a bit of cash here and there, possibly upgrade your GPU to this:

[timkwalsh]

Well thank you both for all your help! It is greatly appriciated and i will be looking forward to the frugal yet vastly greater upgrades you have shown me!
Thanks again

 

[dudewitbow]

no problem. most new buyers dont know the ins and outs of bundle pricing on certain items as much. simple changes can yeild better results.

 

[timkwalsh]

Yeah thanks for showing me that! Im saving tonnns of money from your advice! Plus that graphics card you suggested comes with a free game xD ( although i probably wont play it)
