Greetings to all! Just like many before my time, I'm looking to build my first pc. I figured now would be a good time with any after Christmas deals going on. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/368880-31-range-gaming is the thread I was looking at, but is almost 2 months old. I'm not expecting this build to work wonders, but at least do baby steps. At the very least be able to have Pandora playing smoothly while surfing the web, and not hear the music sound like a drunk transformer. No, I don't mean dubstep. On the gaming side, I'm more of an mmorpg guy for pc. If I can play the quite old Final Fantasy 11, I'd be set!
CPU: AMD A10-5800K 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor ($129.99 @ Newegg)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 612 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($24.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: ASRock FM2A75M-ITX Mini ITX FM2 Motherboard ($95.98 @ SuperBiiz)
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Smart Tracer 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($17.99 @ Newegg)
Case: Silverstone PS08B (Black) MicroATX Mid Tower Case ($34.90 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: Logisys 480W ATX12V Power Supply ($14.98 @ Outlet PC)
Total: $304.83
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)
Over $4 but ehh. Anywho, I figured I could up the cpu compared to the thread posted since I already have a hard drive and all the basics. I'll be using my 20" 720p tv, so motherboard with hdmi was the way for me. As for OS I'm going to try ubuntu and see how that fairs until I move to Windows. On a side note... how would I add internal wifi and bluetooth to this build?
If I did post something incorrectly to how this forum works, I am quite sorry. Thank you all for any advice on how to make this build better and possibly cheaper.
