Is this is a good build?

[Sachin_19]

This is a budget gaming build. I wouldn't prefer to change the CPU or GPU. Also, i put all of them on amazon so i can buy it together. I was wondering if there would be any bottle-necking. And what would my fps be for GTA on medium to high graphics. Also notify if there is any problems with the build.Thank you

Get a single pack of 2x4 Hyper X Fury Black memory. Getting two separate 1x4 sticks is not smart because they may actually not work together properly, depending on manufacturing. Ones that come together are guaranteed to work, and you usually save money with a single pack. Also, H110 motherboards support 2133Mhz memory up to, and there is no confirmation 2400Mhz memory will run at 2400Mhz.

So, first off: Please paste the parts from the export at the top of the page.

Anyways...

You can save a little money by just buying a kit, which will also guarantee compatibility. The case has only an 80mm fan option in the back, and from reviews, the cable management isn't great, so you should switch to something else. The i3 you have most likely will only bottleneck the highest of high-end cards so you're good there. I notice a 1TB HDD - if possible, you should get an SSD instead, even if it costs a little more. You can always go for SSD + HDD although I'd not recommend anything below 240gb for an SSD. Finally, the PSU you have is only okay - it could definitely be better.

That's all.

$193 is a terrible price for a GTX960. I agree about getting a 2x4GB RAM kit. You should probably get a better psu.

^^Totally agree on the PSU. Should be changed to a Seasonic S12ii 520W unit.

No surprise, Best Buy is the vendor.

I disagree about getting a ssd as such a low budget. This is a better motherboard and psu for no extra overall cost.

Since your the psu master, can you tell me why getting double the watts is necessary. Im new to building comps. This is my first build

 

[CTurbo]

It's more about the reliability than the wattage. 430w would be enough, but that specific model is the not the greatest in long term reliability.

Is this build good? Im deciding if i should get a ssd and buy a external later on or get a 1tb hdd and buy ssd later on. Thank you for alll your help.

 

[turkey3_scratch]

You still have that power supply. I think the one CTurbo posted above is better.

SeaSonic S12II 520W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply: This one?

 

[turkey3_scratch]

That's the one you should use over the EVGA 500W.

Ok, thank you. Also if i get the psu, can you do me a favor and find a decent case that is under 40? An ATX Mid Tower preferably

I also thought that evga was a good psu company?

 

[turkey3_scratch]

They don't make PSUs, they sell them. They sell great/mediocre/crappy units, a whole range, as do most companies.
