My First Build

[Trevor_21]

Hello all,

I'm saving up for my first home-built gaming computer, and some advice would be greatly appreciated.

The build that I am eyeing is here http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/Robbanks/saved/#view=rtVscf . Is this a good build and will it all fit in a Dell xps 630 case?

Also, will it make a huge difference if I have 16Gbs of Ram instead 8?

Thanks a million!

It's a pretty good, well thought out build. If I were to comment on anything, it would be pretty minimum (very small SSD etc)

An XPS 630 case looks pretty standard sized, so chances are fairly good. I can't confirm 100% though.
I'd question why you'd want to put it all in an case from a prebuilt though? There are many great options available that'll look better, likely provide better airflow and won't break the bank...

Alright. I will look into a better SSD. How does this one look http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211984&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Solid+State+Disk-_-N82E16820211984&gclid=Cj0KEQjwyum6BRDQ-9jU4PSVxf8BEiQAu1AHqm7AwuP9toGdYzdYIptjPFTuxX5uhrIAhe0u3ewx51EaAu5g8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds ?

I am building this pc in the Dell xps case because I already have it, so I will wind up saving money. If airflow becomes a problem, I will fix it, as there are plenty of cheap cases out there as you said. For right now though, if it works, I am going to use the XPS case if it all fits in there.

Thanks a million!
