Need Help My first Gaming PC?

[12carzam]

I am thinking about building my first PC, but my first choice was to buy a pre-built PC from cyberpowerpc, but after all the bad reviews i have herd about the company I have decided to try, and build my own. So I used cyberpower's website to configure a PC, and buy all the parts from Newegg. As i don't know much about building a PC I wanted to know if the parts I have chosen are compatible, and/or any good.

Here are the specs of the PC I would like to build:
Case-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119305
Motherboard-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131872
Graphics Cards-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487088
Power Supply-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438018
RAM-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233299
CPU-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113284
CPU Cooler-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103189
I will be using a 1 Terabyte Western Digital Hard Drive, and a 128gb Kingston SSD.

If you think i should change some parts i would appreciate anyone's opinion on the matter.

Your welcome. When you get that done post again if you need more help or want us to check compatibility. Also I recommend going and getting a i5 over that FX CPU.

I have changed motherboards for this one here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130790.
The only notes i get is that i may need to update the BIOS.
Is there much of difference between the i5 over the FX CPU?

 

[IntelTurtleFan]

Can you post the link to the PCPARTPICKER config? There is actually a fairly large difference between the i5 and FX chips.

Hi, i have changed a bit of parts, and i was wondering if you could tell me how do you like this setup.

[IntelTurtleFan]

The setup looks good except 2 things.
1: The PSU is low quality. Get a XFX TS or a EVGA G2 Supernova (Not the NEX Supernova)
2: MSI mobo should be changed to the Gigabyte Gaming 5 Z97

 

[12carzam]

What makes the gigabyte mobo better then the MSI?

 

[IntelTurtleFan]

Quality. A few moderators around here fix computers and they say MSI is the most frequent mobo to break. Gigabyte is one of the most reliable.

Is there any Motherboards you recommended.

 

[IntelTurtleFan]

Gigabyte Gaming 5 Z97 or ASRock Z97 Extreme 4. I would pick the Gigabyte first however. GIGABYTE GA-G1.Sniper is a good one too. ASUS makes some good boards.
ASUS Z97-A LGA 1150
