My first Build

[Alex-Dean]

So after alot of reading and asking for opinions, I have my first build figured out. I shaved some bucks of of the CPU and GPU wich i plan to upgrade at a later stage

I plan to OC the CPU to 4GHz. Wich i hope will be enough to play the latest games atleast on high paired with the R9 280

Please Rate and give your opinions on how good and sufficient it will perform perform!

Thanks in advance advance. And to all who helped me decide

Avoid the CX, and for $90 its a rip off, There are much better units for less.

Also here is some faster(lower CAS) and cheaper ram

Most of the latest games require and/or recommend a quad core so that dual core may let you down till you upgrade to an i5 or i7.

Use the stock heatsink till you want to OC or can afford a better cooler, add the SSD later. PSU will power a 2nd 970. This rig would play games easily at 1080p and well at 1440p.
