I am planning on building my first gaming PC in August, I have about 1500$, but that has to include tax and shipping so I am looking at about a 1300$ build. I do plan on upgrading the GPU, RAM, and adding an SSD in this build a few months later, maybe in January or February. Some of you may be thinking why not wait until then to build it, but I want to meet midway and start in August so I can run games at better a FPS than what my current PC gives me. I currently have an Asus G74SX and it runs most games nicely, but most newer games seem to hit it quite hard.
I live in Ontario, Canada. I do not plan on overclocking any time soon, though I may a year or two. I am not worried about noise. I have a monitor, mouse, and a keyboard. The future upgrades I plan on doing are a GTX 780 ti, a 16GB RAM kit (probably Corsair Vengeance, I am open to suggestions), and a Samsung 840 Pro SSD.
I plan on ordering the parts from Canada Computers. Current parts I am looking at:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor $259.00
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14 $79.99
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H ATX LGA1150 Motherboard $180.00
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory $101.99
Hard drive: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 1TB 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive $94.99
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 660 2GB Video Card $239.00
Case: Cooler Master HAF X ATX Full Tower Case $194.99
Power Supply: Corsair TX750 V2 $114.88
I plan on ordering the parts from Canada Computers which has has the same or similar prices.
Is there anything I should change? I am unsure about the motherboard, I did do some research and this one came up quite a few times as a decent one, should I change it? Or is it good enough. I also didn't know what to do for thermal compound so does anyone have any suggestions for that? Also is the Haf X good for my build? I chose it based off of high air flow as my PC will be air cooled.
I am sorry if my post is hard to read, I am not very good at writing.
