Hello, I have decided to build my first gaming PC and I want some opinions about this build from people who have more knowledge about building PCs. I'm not probably going to overclock.

Here is my part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3xv3dC

My budget is somewhere around 1200€ and I don't need a monitor, mouse or keyboard.
Also I live in Finland
 
I'd for something like this:

The A10 you had is only worth the money if you aren't going to use a discrete graphics card.

I upgraded the CPU, GPU, motherboard and added a PSU (do you need one?). I also dropped the RAM to 8GB, you don't need 16GB unless you will be doing editing, rendering ect.

 
Solution


agree to the max.
 


Thank you for answering and yes i need a PSU but i totally forgot to add it to that partpicker list.
I would like to have 16GB of RAM just in case and at least it doesn't harm the build to have more RAM than needed. (Also have the money for it so why not)
 


just make sure its 2 x 8GB sticks
