Hello fellow forum users!
This is my second time on tom's Hardware and I was hoping if the community could guide me through my journey and give me feedback on my gaming computer build.
I recently asked Reddit users for feedback on my computer build and received some recommendations, but the post wasn't very active so I decided to move onto the tom's Hardware community.
My budget is $1000.
Also, I already have the desired peripherals, monitor, and OS.
This was my initial build that I had shared:
- http://pcpartpicker.com/user/plnx99/saved/nK8bt6
This was the recommended build, with a little tweak (was not able to add a graphics card), by one of the users on Reddit:
- http://pcpartpicker.com/user/plnx99/saved/xD8bt6
Questions:
- Does the CPU come with a cooler or is it sold separately?
- If it is not provided, which would be recommended?
- If it is provided, is it necessary to buy another CPU Cooler instead of using the provided one?
Things you should know about me:
- I am somewhat new to any type of forum, therefore please excuse any mistakes I make.
- This is my first computer build, but I'm pretty sure we already established that.
- Although I have read guides and researched a whole lot on computer parts, I am a little clueless on certain things such as: graphics card, sometimes motherboard compatibility, overclocking(which I probably will not be doing on this computer build), and when it comes to names of computer parts.
