My first ever gaming Pc

Hardware Build a PC
1

Hi I am currently saving up and trying to make my first gaming pc, I live in Boston MA and I do have a Microcenter nearby I don't want to go over 900 to 800 dollars and would like to keep it below 900 if possible because it will make it take longer for me to get all the parts, the only thing that I have purchased is a MSI Z87M GAMING Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard because it would allow me to do SLI, I am open to any ideas , my goal is to game, stream and video edit. I do not need OS monitor keyboard or mouse

Your first link doesn't seem to work :P

Anyways, here is what I came up with: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/bvZmQ7

Better bang for your buck SSD,

Better RAM configuration IMO,

2TBs of mass storage (you said you want to edit videos right? They take up allooottt of space. So do games)

Better AND cheaper video card

Slightly cheaper semi modular power supply, you will be more than fine with 600 watts but if you do plan to crossfire in the future you may wish to upgrade, so if you really need to you could switch the power supply back.

All under $900 :)

Also, you may have to do a BIOS update on your motherboard because the 4970k is a refresh CPU, and may not work with some Z87 boards until an update is preformed.

In my experience most motherboards now already have the latest BIOS pre-flashed!

5

should I get someone from like a microcenter to help me do the BIOS update, what does it mean if my motherboard does not have the update ?

good rounded rig  ... Needs a CPU cooler but that will do
