will this work for my needs.

Hi all,
I am putting together my first computer build. I would like to use it for games and general use. I would say 70% of its life will be internet, Microsoft word and excel, 30% will be gaming. Currently trying to pick great parts that will last. The current build is 2200. I would like to run at least 2 monitors.

This may be extremely expensive, however I am fine with spending the money on a quality unit that will last a while before needing to be upgraded.

It is a bit of a high price,but if you can afford it is it a very good build.

I would get other ram though,not because the ones you chose are bad,no are excellent,but imo with a window in the case does it not look right. Another option that imo looks better with that motherboard,

Can also change motherboard,

I would use the next paste for the cooler,

This monitor seems to be a very nice one as well and hight adjustable,

just another option. 😉

Thought of just trying with the stock case fans first? Or are a few of these for the cooler as well?

In the end just me nitpicking.😀

Will I need a wifi card?

Will I need a wifi card?

Not necessarily. Do you want wifi?

 

[sweat10]

its not a necessity but may be more convenient.

For a wifi card,

i have the cheapest option and imo does it work well,for W8 (.1) do you need to get the drivers from the site.I chose ones with a cable so you can at least move the antenna's around for the best signal.
Another one,thought it to be in the comparison,

You could also look at this if it's to avoid long cables,

if the power grid in the house is in good shape is this also an option,look at sets.
