Hello!
So after purchasing quite a few pre-built desktops, laptops and one iMac, I decided that this time around I would build my own.
Doing research online, watching pretty much all of LinusTechTips videos and with the help of my friend who works for EVGA US.
I set myself a budget of around $700, this is not including monitor or peripherals. I do plan to upgrade more in the future (Memory, GPU, and SSD/HD) when I have the funds but for now I plan for some gaming (CS:GO, Arma 2, DayZ, Wow), photo editing and minor stuff online.
I have not thought of a name for it, maybe the forum can help.
Build List
- CPU - AMD FX-8370 4.0 GHz 8 Core Black Edition
- Motherboard - Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 ATX AM3+
- Memory - Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3-1600
- Storage - Western Digital 1TB Blue Caviar
- Video Card - EVGA GeForce GTX960 2GB SSC
- Power Supply - EVGA 500B 500W Power Supply
- CPU Cooler - Corsair H60 54.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
- Case - Diablotek CPA-6180 (Evo III) ATX Mid Tower
For the meantime since I don't have a monitor I'll use my Samsung TV along with my wireless keyboard and mouse.
Since this is my first build I hope its okay, If you have any advice. Please let me know!
Thanks!
