New to Building

[JeremyW426]

I'm new to building and I've compiled a list of components that I'm looking at using and I'm trying to figure out if its a decent build or not, my goal was to build a gaming comp under 1000 but I can't see that happening. Anyways, check out the list and tell me what you all think, all opinions welcome! 😀, thanks!

1. Maybe I missed it but I don't see any RAM.

2. No CPU Cooler either.

3. Get a PSU from either Antec, Corsair (not CX model), PC Power & Cooling, Seasonic, XFX.

agree i dont see any ram listed.

you dont need a cpu cooler the stock one is fine.

agree with corsair or pcp&c psu

i'd suggest an intel i5 cpu for gaming.

do you really need a sound card? if you buy a motherboard with half decent onboard sound you're likely fine.

you may want to run this thread in the systems subsection of the forum for more ideas.
