New Gaming Build

[aeko97]

So guys, I'm planning on making a new build in 3 or 4 months. I am going to start about the monitor which is an usual way to start it:

Monitor: Asus LED VS197DE @ http://www.asus.com/Monitors/VS197DE/specifications/

Now for my computer, I've thought about parts, what do you guys think about this?

CPU: Intel Core i3-6100 @ http://ark.intel.com/products/90729/Intel-Core-i3-6100-Processor-3M-Cache-3_70-GHz

CPU cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo @ http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/cpu-air-cooler/hyper-212-evo/

Motherboard: Asus H110M-K @ https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/H110M-K/specifications/

RAM: Kingston DDR4 HyperX Savage Black 2x4GB 2133MHz Cas13 @ I can't find a link for it

HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 64MB SATAIII (6GB/s) - EZEX @ can't find a link for it either

GPU: Msi GeForce GTX750 TI TwinFrozr Gaming OC 2GB GDDR5 @ can't find a link for it

Driver: Samsung DVD±RW 24X Dual Layer Black Bulk Sata - SH-224BB @ don't have a link

PSU: Seasonic S12II 520W @ https://seasonic.com/product/s12ii-520/

Cooling fans on the case: 2x Cooler Master SickleFlow 120MM Blue @ http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/case-fan/sickleflow-120-2000rpm-blue-led/

Case: BitFenix Nova Black @ http://www.bitfenix.com/global/en/products/chassis/nova#specs

Now, yes I do want a small 18"5 monitor and I'll be gaming on it, that's why I've also picked the GTX 750ti, I think I won't need anything more powerful for small resolutions. I picked i3 because I won't be able to afford a i5 unfortunately. I think 8GB of RAM will be fine and everything is else goes accordingly. I know it's not a beast but I think it will do the job for me.What I'd like to know is if this will fit all together and work properly and be full compatible. I'm mainly just playing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive with some side games like World of Warcraft, nothing very demanding.

what is your exact budget?

I don't have an exact budget but I do want these parts and I can afford them, I can change any of them if it's for the best and it's justified. The main point I seek here is to know if they are fully compatible with each other and if it will match my expectactions in my "not very demanding" gaming.

I can't see anything wrong with the build. I would question getting a 750Ti, with the 10xx series about to drop its going to be 2 generations old so may not have the latest features for games and driver updates may start to slow

Yes but I'll be playing old and not very demanding games, I'm not looking forward to anything new. Will it be a problem?

If you're going to build in the next 3 - 4 months, you should ask then. Prices change a lot.

No, 750 Ti is more than enough for CS:Go and WOW

You don't really need a hyper 212 evo cooler, since your cpu will come with a stock cooler thats good enough. Instead of the cooler, you could get a better monitor. for example the BenQ 24" GL2450. This is a cheap 24" full HD monitor which is really good for the money. If you don't want another monitor you could get a i3 6300 instead.

Also, that case comes with one fan preinstalled. You don't really need two extra fans, just one extra fan should be enough.

Missing my point again. I stated that I want a small screen, there's no benefit for me to get a (what I consider) big 24" screen for 2 reasons: first I dislike it and second, I'd need a better graphics card to run smoothly on a 24" monitor. There's no benefit for me. Also, getting a 6300 instead of a 6100 wouldn't make much of a difference. I'd stick with the cpu cooler, I'm looking for efficiency, good cooling and silency mostly.

So this build will do what I want? What is your personal thoughts about it according to my preferences and demands?

For the games you listed at a 768 resolution, the 750ti is probably going to be more than enough. That said, there is a promotion for an XFX R7 370 on Newegg today for $85, and I have seen the GTX950's as low as $120, so you have some more powerful options in the same price range. Its never a bad idea to have some extra power in case you need it right?

Also, I see no reason why your listed parts should not play well together.

Maybe I should have stated this before and sorry about it but I'm from Portugal and I'll be buying my parts on a local store. I do understand what you are trying to say but here the prices are a little different and the MSI GTX 750ti goes for the best option as I also prefer Nvidia over AMD.

Your build is good and as stated above, you don't need an after-market cooler. Save the money!

No problem, I say buy what you have listed and go for it. Sounds like a great setup for what you are wanting to do.
