[jcrisp0204]

budget 1500 dollars will need many explanations please unbiased if possible. ok planning on gaming and possibly streaming on twitch for a hobby, also do video editing here and there and use itunes or equivalent. i am new to building, this will be my first build so simple can be a plus. if i absolutely need to i will go over budget a little but hoping to stick to it. Thanks ahead of time

 

[MeteorsRaining]

[jcrisp0204]

also do i need a sound card?

 

[Nuckles_56]

The motherboard has its own sound card which will do just fine unless you are one of those audiophiles who expect the absolutely perfect sound no matter what

 

[Nuckles_56]

And as for your friend, he has a good build, and the only change I am making is to the power supply as the rest is excellent unless he plans on overclocking too http://pcpartpicker.com/p/kGfqP6

 

[jcrisp0204]

he said he will definetly use that build. thanks for every bit of your help. plus he got ideas for his build from your lists above. i will be building this build you posted above. will pick it as solution if that helps you at all nuckles_56.

It has better RAM, better PSU, cheaper HDD but just as good, and that's about it.

Ytyoussef, just a comment, there is not real advantage to faster RAM over low CL number RAM, seeing as the CL number has a greater effect on performance than the actual MHz value of the RAM and the ones which were in the systems were CL7 which means it as fast as 2133MHz CL 9 RAM

I know that, but the one I posted is quite a bit cheaper, so that makes it better overall, doesn't it?

 

[Nuckles_56]

I wouldn't say that $25 in a $1500 is quite a bit, if it was $100, maybe

 

[Ytyoussef]

It's 15% of the price of the ram (there's about a $10 difference between the two), and they're basically the same in terms of performance. What I mean, is that you don't need to pay more for nothing.

 

[jcrisp0204]

just purchased all the parts for my build now we play the waiting game.

 

[jcrisp0204]

Just an update I have received some parts and I will receive the rest in the next and then I will try to post some pictures of the build as I go through the process.

Parts I have:
Case.
Video card.
Power supply.
Operating system.

Waiting on the rest..

 

[MeteorsRaining]

We'll be glad to see and help you through the process.

 

[jcrisp0204]

Ok I have completed the build. I will take some pictures when I get home and post so everyone can see. Pretty easy to build just gotta do a little more cable management. L

I have booted it and everything is in working order and ready to go. I installed the is and every driver that came with components but I am having a problem.

Problem: everything is installing to my SSD and when downloading or installing it gives me no option to download to the secondary hard drive. Any help would be appreciated.

 

[jcrisp0204]

I have figured out my hard drive issue just needed to partition a drive. And also it doesn't let me upload pics from my phone
