My First Build
Finally got my first build done this summer. My main resource was PcPartPicker.
This site allows you to confirm all parts will
be compatible and as well gives you a list of places to purchase with their current prices.
I did purchase my grpahics card used for $100, and also note
that I have not yet purchased the optical drive that is on my pcPartPicker list.
Still debating if I really need one or not.
Here is the link to my direct list from the site:
pcpartpicker.com/list/VRprHN
| MOBO | Gigabyte Z170X-UD5 |
|---|---|
| CPU | Intel i7-6700K 4.0GHz |
| COOLER | Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO |
| GPU | EVGA GTX 960 SCC |
| MEMORY | Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2x8GB) |
| STORAGE | Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD |
| PSU | EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 80+ GOLD |
| NETWORK | Gigabyte GC-WB867D-I WiFi/Bluetooth |
| CASE | Fractal Design Define R4 ATX Mid |
| TOTAL | $1,084.70 |
I did also buy some led fans, the pink one I got off of Amazon, and the rainbow one I bought from a local computer store. The case itself came with two fans - which were very quite - my new ones are slightly louder.
So far I have had zero issues with this build. Starts up in 10-12 seconds, everything loads fast, stays cool. Love every thing about it!!
