Building a new PC
i've decided to build myself a new computer. my target is a reasonably capable gaming rig in the ~$1,000 USD range here. a friend threw this together for me, but i was hoping to get a second opinion. this is the first time i've ever genuinely built a computer from scratch. i'm hoping i can get this right, so i'm open to being torn a new one.
these are the parts as he listed:
and this is my attempt at finding some of them. i know some are listed as out of stock, but so long as i know exactly what i'm looking for it shouldn't be too hard to find it elsewhere.Code:CPU: intel i5-4590 $224 Mobo: ASUS H97M-Pro4 $115 RAM: 2x4GB Patriot-S 1600MHz $87 GPU: either: Sapphire R9-280 $299 or Gainward Phantom GTX760 $264 SSD: 120GB Samsung 840 Evo $93 HDD: Seagate 2TB (7200rpm) $94 ODD: Samsung SATA DVDRW $18 Case: Antec three hundred two $79 PSU: Antec HCG520 $89
