Hey guys, I'm willing to build my very first computer, and I want your advice on the choices I've made. Please note that it is my first time doing this and pardon me if I chose like an idiot.
For me there are 4 important things: specifications, price (as low as it can get), design (beautiful, light and small sized), and upgradability (I don't want to change a whole computer if I can upgrade parts of mine that can't stand the test of time).
If I can get a better performance changing some of the things I chose for a slightly major/minor price, I'll change my choice.
So my choices are:
•AMD FX-4300 Vishera Quad-Core 3.8GHz (4.0GHz) Socket AM3+ 95W Desktop Processor FD4300WMHKBOX||| $100 US|||or AMD FD6300WMHKBOX FX-6300 6-Core Processor Black Edition|||$100 US||| (I don't know how to over clock and don't want to buy extra stuff. So I don't know which one is better)
•Samsumg SD590 Series S24D590PL 23.6 Inch Screen LED-lit Monitor||| $193 US
•GeForce GT 730 64-bit GDDR5||| $70 US
•Gigabyte AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gbps USB 3.0 ATX DDR3 1600 Motherboards GA-970A-DS3P|||$70 US
•Corsair Vengeance 8GB (1x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory (CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10)|||$68 US||| or Kingston HyperX FURY 8GB Kit (2x4GB) 1600MHz DDR3 CL10 DIMM - Blue (HX316C10FK2/8)|||$69 US|||
(To be honest, I have no clue about which one is better)
•WD Blue Desktop Hard Drive 1TB, 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/sec|||$45 US
•EVGA 500W 80PLUS Certified ATX12V/EPS12V Power Supply 100-W1-0500-KR|||$40 US|||or EVGA 100-W1-0430-KR 430 W|||$35 US|||(not sure if 500W Is far too much)
•Fractal Design Core 1000 USB 3.0 Computer Case FD-CA-CORE-1000-USB3-BL|||$36 US
•Logitech S150 USB Speakers with Digital Sound|||$12 US
•Asus 24x DVD-RW Serial-ATA Internal OEM Optical Drive DRW-24B1ST (Black)|||$22 US
•Logitech Wireless Combo MK270 with Keyboard and Mouse|||$21 US
I want to know which pieces fit better, if I can use the whole potential on these pieces, if they fit my willings and if they work fine together. In case they don't, I want you to correct me and tell me what should I buy.
Thank you.
(Did not include the OS price because I hope to have windows 10, which I heard will be for free. ¿Or maybe a Hackintosh? But being honest my knowledge about Macs and osx is 0) is it recommendable to have a Hackintosh? Between windows and Hackintosh which one is better? Can I have a Hackintosh with the build I chose?
