Hardware Build a PC
1

Up until I stumbled across Tek Syndicate I didnt really even know what most of the parts inside of the computer did or how they interacted with one another. After watching for a while know I would really like to try to build a new computer because the one I currently have is shit. Sorry if some of these parts dont make sense this is my first time. Suggestions are appreciated but basically I want to know. Will this PC work?

tl;dr: Will this PC work?

I would personally buy a new power supply so I know its a good trustable brand with a single 12 volt rail.

Edit:

If you spend $40 more you could get the new Fx-8350 4.0 GHz

Uses? if gaming this could be much better, if video editing its good.

4

pcpartpicker.com We need to know the prices, so use that.

5

Its for gaming mostly.

6

Yeah I agree I'll probobly get a new power supply at a later date.

If I manage to grab 40$ ill take your advice and definetly go for that but its stretching my price range currently.

7

What's your price cap?! This thing could be alot better for gaming.

8

Bout $500.

The PC doesnt have to be a GOD. Basically anything will be vastly superior to what I currently have. And its sort of more about the experiance of building my first Pc.

9

definity go for this. much better for gaming, and i would definately recommend getting a better psu, that thing is a ticking time bomb.

10

Yeah when I started to learn about power supplys I looked at mine and thought. Oh shit...

11

Heres a much better one

If its for gaming:

You dont need such a big cpu so cut down the cpu to an FX 4300

You dont need more than 8gb ram so change the ram to 8gb 1866mhz

That psu looks like a firehazard get something like a Corsair Builder 500W

That gpu is allright but with the $50 saved on the cpu you should be able to get an HD 7850 get a 2gb one if you can afford it.

Im really into this one.
