I want this computer for gaming. Battlefield, Skyrim, Star Citizen, that kind of stuff. I also may do some 3D editing in the future. The GPU is weak but in the next few weeks or so I will upgrade that to a much more powerful one. See anything that needs changing, and am I missing anything?

Anyways, this is a great build. I recommend changing the PSU to an EVGA instead of Corsair, since Corsair is known to make bad PSUs. Also, you are missing a video card.

PS: The GPU is fine and basically the go to card for gaming right now.

Hey, thanks for selecting me as best answer. If you have any questions just ask!

@Saberan, the 4670k will DEFINITELY run better than an 8350 and is a good sacrifice and is worth the money. If you need more more space, get an i54590 or 4440.
 


Though I like your build, and the changes, I have to point out the bit about corsair.
They dont make bad psus, they make some of the best. The CX lineup is known for low quality capacitors, but they are far from bad. Their TX,AX, and HX series are great lineups.

Oh sorry, didn't know that! Thanks!
 


i agree with you but the HX series is ridicoulsy expensive its like 120$ for a 650w. thats almost the price of a evga 1000w
