Guest PainKiller Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I wanted to build a brand new computer from scratch, the only thing I will carry over from my current PC is the disk drive. I am not so good with all the tech stuff, so I just put together all these parts I think i need for a working computer, and I got all the things I wanted, but I was hopping that someone could tell me if it is good, and if it is all compatible with one another. also, in your own opinion, do you think this build will last a long time? Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811517004 Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128514 Graphics Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127747 Power Supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182239 Processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113284 RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226188 Hard Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822149396 Operating System: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116986 I hope you guys can help me out with this. I was looking to buy it before all those sweet deals end on some of the items, no idea when they end though. Anyway, if you have any advice or tips I would love to hear it, and if there are any upgrades but for cheaper I am all ears! but I am looking for the ultimate gaming machine that can handle any and all games on ultra settings for this year, and a few more years to come.

Guest RET.CPT.xXAirBorneXx=US= Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Are you planning on running Dual Graphics eventually or over clocking?? That's a big PSU, and also it almost looks like rainbow colors. Other than that I think it looks fine, I run ATI for my GPU but I'm sure there are lot's of Nvidia fan boys who will tell you that it's golden lol.

Guest CI3arrage Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 That will a little monster when it is built; it is all compatible together. When you say your keeping your disk drive, do you mean HDD or SSD? If it is SSD then good stuff. If not i would get the FX8320 processor and use the saved money to buy a small 60GB SSD as that would be a more significant performance upgrade than a FX8350 with a HDD. An FX8320 with a SSD would wipe the floor with a FX8350 and a HDD. Install your operating system and frequently used programs on the SSD. An FX8350 and a FX8320 are practically the same but the former has a higher clock speed. You can easily get the same performance with a little overclock on the FX8320.

Guest Ruen Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 If you aren't comfortable with with building a computer yourself, may I suggest an awesome company that can build it for a very reasonable cost. I have neither the time nor the desire to build one myself. I used Digital Storm and it cost me just $50 over what I would've paid at newegg. I was extremely satisfied with them. http://www.digitalstormonline.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RhinoTech Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 My personal recommendation is to use the SSD for your OS (and maybe a couple games), then have the rest of your programs & media stored on your HDD. THIS link gives you some insight on lifespan for each storage device. The run-down on them is the HDD will last ≈5-7 years, the SSD ≈10 years. The SSD is more expensive per GB, but for the intended purposes, doesn't need the huge storage capacities that an HDD will offer. When I first built my gaming rig in 2010 I used a HDD. Earlier this year I upgraded and put my OS on a SSD. The results were immediate and astounding. Startup time is still lightening fast, and what I used to believe was lag in BF3 went away (smoother gameplay). Also SSDs don't require defrags . Setting your computer up with your OS on a SSD makes it an easier task to swap out HDDs as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PainKiller Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 What SSD would you recommend? I have never used one and never heard of one until today, I am fine to spend $100 on one of them. EDIT: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226352 Is that good?

Guest RhinoTech Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I recommend this SSD (still technically under $100). It is refurbished, but here is some info on why you shouldn't sweat it for an SSD. I have this model in my gaming rig btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
