System opinion

TimAhKin · 30 Sep 2015 at 14:55

I want to order the following components:

I have a 23" LG IPS Full HD monitor, peripherals and a mechanical hard drive.

In one month I will add a video card too, probably a 980ti.

The system will be used for gaming, programming and watching movies.

Should I change something or the components are good enough?

Looks good to me but I would chuck in a better SSD as the BX's are slower. However, if that doesn't matter it's a nice looking build.

Are you set on that case? Maybe a little 'bling' to be included? White RAM, cable extensions

I can go for another SSD. I just want to use it for OS and other apps. I don't think I will run any games from the SSD.

I'm not set on the case either but it looks nice and got good reviews too. I can go for a different case if it's worth it and close to that price range.

I'm without a computer since May so I want to get something going as soon as possible

I see that the motherboard has a free cooler. Does it have thermal paste included?

I would recommend to get i5 6600k as in the future you may overclock it. It £20 more but it gives you a option in the future to increase performance. Everything else looks good

Yeah. Changed it already. This is the beta build, hopefully going gold soon.

I've placed the order on Friday. Tomorrow or on Tuesday I'll have the components. Yay! I even got 2x8 Gb ram. Got a pretty good deal.

Now in one month I want to get a video card and I'm set.

Cheers!
