What I am thinking for my New PC

Hardware Hub Build a PC
1

I am going to build a new Gamming PC. I have already selected the parts but I am wondering if I have a good overall build or if I have made some mistakes. This will be the first PC I will have built so I am just wanting to make sure that I am starting off right.

 

CPU: AMD FX-8350

Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth 990FX

Ram: Corsair Vengeance Blue CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9B 16GB 4X4GB DDR3-1600 CL9-9-9-24

Video Card: MSI Radeon 7870 Twin Frozer 3

Power Supply: Corsair 1050W Pro

Cooling: Corsair H100i

Case: I haven't decided on a perticular case but I am thinking the Coolermaster HAF X

Sound Card: Asus Xonar DG

Operating System: WIndows 7

 

 

 

 If you have any thoughts on it feel free to share them.

You don't need 16GB of ram unless you are doing serious editing, but for just gaming, that's overkill.

Also, with that build, I don't think you need a 1050W Power Supply. I have a 7850 i putting in my system, and i only have a 550W. So yeah, maybe bring that down a bit. Im not a expert, but I'm pretty sure you don't need a 1050W Power Supply.

Your system is too overkill for gaming. Unless you are trying to be future proof on your cpu for like 4 years.  Get a quad core, 8gbs of RAM, and a 550w PSU.

You dont need that much power at all
