I mainly created this thread to get a review of this preliminary build plan I have created.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CFF9Ft
FAIR WARNING: I already have the GTX 1050ti and EVGA 850W P2 80+ Platinum. I want your overall review and advice on the rest of the components.
Please keep in mind, I want to keep this PC as compact but as powerful as possible while in budget. I also will be doing my best to NOT use an ethernet connection, so Wi-Fi antennas on the MOBO is very important.
Approximate Purchase Date:
All components will be purchased within the next 4 weeks or so hopefully.
Budget Range: (e.g.: 300-400) Before / After Rebates; Before / After Shipping
I do not want to go over $1,000 USD before rebates and before shipping. However, if there is a really good deal, part that I cannot say no to, I will take it.
System Usage from Most to Least Important:
I will be using this as a backup system, a system for guest to use at my home, and a system to take to LANs mainly.
Are you buying a monitor:
No
Parts to Upgrade:
Buying everything brand new besides the GPU and PSU. I already have a GTX 1050ti and a EVGA 850W P2 80+ Platinum
Do you need to buy OS:
Eh, that's something i'll decide later. I already have 2 OEM copies I could just reuse and not activate.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts:
I really prefer Amazon and Newegg, but I will not say no to any site.
Location:
Southwestern Pennsylvania.
Parts Preferences:
I am strictly an Intel fanboy. I will not use AMD.
Overclocking:
I do not plan to but am open to it.
SLI or Crossfire:
Definitely not.
Your Monitor Resolution:
1920x1080p
Additional Comments:
I want to keep it small and powerful, but in budget.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading:
My current and only computer is a full-size ATX PC that is a pain to haul and get to and from events. I also have trouble fitting it in friends houses when I bring it over.
