Hello guys, this is my first post here at the teksyndicate forums! :D I would like your help to create my very first computer, for Gaming!!! All i really want to know is if all the parts I've chosen match and if there is anything I could change for better performance at around the same price! So, Here's what I've chosen!
HDD: Western-Digital Caviar Blue 1TB (Will be getting an SSD later)
PSU: Be Quiet! Pure Power L8 (80+ Bronze) 400W (Will it be enough? It's one of my main questions!
Finally I would like to ask you guys, if I'll need any extra fans.. I wouldn't like to set my room on fire!!!! Thanks for your time and sorry for any mistakes with my English that may make your eyes bleed :D
I would grab a cheaper CPU. Maybe an FX-6300 and put some more money into the graphics card. Most games don't really need that much CPU power and need more GPU power. Either way though, the FX-6300 is more than capable.
Always grab an aftermarket CPU cooler. Even if you aren't overclocking, the stock coolers are trash. They don't do a great job at cooling and are loud. So grab a nice mid-priced air cooler. The Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO is a great option there.
As for the PSU I would say get one with more power. 400W should be enough, but if you want to upgrade in the future it will be seriously limiting you. Go with something around 500W. Coolermaster and Corsair make some good low priced PSUs that should be perfect for you.
As for the HDD just get whatever is cheapest. Seagate and WD are both good options. For a future SSD look at the Kingston Hyper X 3k and the Samsung 840 Evo
Thanks a lot for your feedback! I think i'll look into a cheaper CPU and put that money into a cooler.. I wouldnt like to change the graphics card though, as i can't find one that fits my colour scheme ( I really want a good looking system) and isn't too crazilly prized! Any suggestions about that?
I guess you are right! Yes my color scheme is blue and white... Do you think I should go GTX660, R9 270x or HD7850? Also I did rebuild the system taking in acount your recommendations and I can say that I'm very happy with it!!! I may start buying the parts this month! The mass purchase will be Christmas though :D
