First system build

Bluez85 · 25 Sep 2015 at 17:37

Hi everyone thanks for accepting me on the forums. I have never built a pc myself but seen enough videos and done ram / part upgrades over the past to build one myself.

I am going to start buying my parts this week to build over the next month and was wondering if you could have a glance over the parts for suggestions/improvements.

I will be using it for gaming, not editing videos or anything like that.

I have put a r9 390x as i have heard when new dx is out they should get some gains? So i am up for a nvidea card if there are no graphics differences.

I still own a acer p193w 19.5 inch vga monitor from years ago to use as a second monitor. I have already bought my standesk 2200 ready.

My parts list is

Removed at request

Thanks for your help in advance.

Thanks for that new list. Sorry I did not mean to post competitors, I used that website to check compatibility of parts.

I have two cats and no matter what I do there will be a build up of dust. So I want a dust filtered case to make it last longer in between cleans

Thanks for all your suggestions. I am so close to pulling the trigger on purchasing haha.

I would be playing games like cod, ark, wow. I dont need 4k, i might go 144hz or 1440p eventually, would a 970 still be ok for 1080p ultra for now and then sli down the line or buy a new card at the time. I cant spend more than 1400-1500 at the moment (misses would kill me)

Thank you for all your help. I finally pulled the trigger this morning using this site and another (I spent more on this one

, and only used the other to ensure delivery for tomorrow).

Looking forward to my first build
