What does everyone think of this first build? (Yes am asking again :D )

[viperblood77]

So i decided to wait until i have a little bit more money saved up to build a better gaming PC. In my opinion i think it's a pretty good first build but am not an expert. I mean for all i know i could have a computer that would only get 10 FPS on Club penguin lol. But any way here is my part list... http://pcpartpicker.com/user/viperblood77/saved/#savedbuild_2084517 Let me know if it's good or not.

That is a pretty good build but the only thing I can think of is you may want a gpu with more than 2 gbs of ram for newer games.

you're spending way too much for the case and on a z87 mobo. Better to buy a cheaper case and a cheaper z97 mobo and upgrade to a GTX 970 instead. Performance leap between a 960 to a 970 is substantial.

First of all, go with a Z97 board for a cheaper price and better compability with your Devils Canyon processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130770

Furthermore, go with a cheaper case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233&cm_re=Cooler_Master_case-_-11-119-233-_-Product

Instead of a 960 get a 970. There is better performance with the 970 than 960.

here's a much better build for about the same price. I even picked parts to coordinate so it's a nice black and red theme for almost the entire PC (damn you 212 EVO)

Bro! What is with the 750W psu when the build only needs 254?

 

[Chass1990]

I just gave him a build with about the same price he had before. The 750w would allow room to grow down the line with sli. And PC partpicker actually listed 374w for my build.
