I am building a PC for the first time yes. I was just wondering thought if my part list was okay.
Here it is -> http://pcpartpicker.com/p/7VPtcf

this will be used for gaming and just netflix streaming. also i am not sure if getting 16gb of ram makes a great difference than getting 8gb.

thanks in advance c:

it was almost perfect.

8gb is the magic sweet spot now.
and a better psu.

chpeaer gpu cuz it cant show more detail on1080p this card is the ebst bang for the buck.
unless u plan to move on to 2k, but in that case get the r9 390.
also du need thast fancotroller i use a msi baord too and i can control every fan perfectly with the msi commander centre program(its more like an app for msi mobos from msi)
