my first computer build

[Darragh_3]

hi guys im just building my first pc on a budget and ive found these parts already used for a good price [i think]. i was just wondering if they are compatible and what power supply and case i should get..... I still use my xbox 360 but id like to get a pc instead of an xbox one as everyone says there better ... id like to be able to play games like fallout 4 at a decent quality. many thanks

cpu = i3-4330
gpu= gtx 1050 ti
Motherboard=Gigabyte GA-Z97M-DS3H
RAM=Kingston HyperX Beast 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR3 1600 MHz

Your build is compatible. As far as a PSU goes you should go with something like a 430 watt or 500 watt. EVGA had some dependable models at those wattages for a bargain price since you're on a budget. For a case, just browse Amazon or Newegg for anything that works with your motherboard. Since you have a MicroATX, anything smaller than a MicroATX case (like ITX) won't work. Most cases are mid-towers and will fit up to an ATX size so just browse around and find a cheap case. Phanteks, Corsair, Rosewill, and DIYPC have some cheap models to fit your budget.

What prices did you find that stuff for?
I can likely do better.

Okay, they're relatively good prices, you would be able to get a similar thing new in the US dollar for dollar, swap out the 750ti for a GTX 1050 though, EVGA are a good brand generally.

Frame rates depend on the games and resolution you plan to play on. The 750ti will do 1080p med-high pretty well for modern games.

 

[Chugalug_]

Yeah, but its poor value.

cool thanks
is there a big difference in game quality with the uprade? would it handle fallout 4 with ease?
thanks again

Yeah, but its poor value.

the game quality would be poor value?

Yeah, but its poor value.

the game quality would be poor value?

The purchase of a 750ti would be poor value.
Also @OP, you'd want about a GTX 1060 to easily handle FO4 at higher settings.

your a legend thanks for taking the time out to help me.. :-D

No worries.
An RX 480 is also a good choice, get whichever is cheaper; the 1060 3GB or the RX 480 4GB.
Definitely worth spending that bit more.
