hello, me and my roommate are building our first desktop computer and we would like some help figuring out the best bang for our buck as well as some compatibility questions!
first off, we really like this little pink case but we are a little worried there won't be enough airflow / space for the components we have picked out. we loosely based the build off of the 1k spring 2019 best voted build from here.
another couple of questions, sorry these are so basic!
our budget is 1k but we would really prefer to spend closer to ~800 USD.
here is the link to the build:
our build !
thanks so much for helping out!
(just read the stickied how to ask for build advice, sorry! here is the survey.)
Approximate Purchase Date: the closer the better
Budget Range: 800-1k USD after shipping
System Usage from Most to Least Important: 3d modeling in software such as blender, gaming, game dev in general, unity, video watching
Are you buying a monitor: no
Do you need to buy OS: no
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: don't really have a pref!
Location: nyc
Parts Preferences: no pref
Overclocking: no
SLI or Crossfire: no? not quite sure what this is
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920 x 1080 or higher

another couple of questions, sorry these are so basic!
- do we need to get a bluetooth / wifi chip or will those be included in the motherboard / cpu?
- this computer will be mainly used for 3d modeling on blender and game dev as well as some gaming, are the components we picked powerful enough for these tasks?
- i understand that it's generally a good idea to get extra wattage in the psu, is 650w too much overkill for future upgrades, should we save some money there to get a better gpu?
- is the building process as intimidating as it seems, are there specific things we should be more delicate with?
