Flaim Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Finally chose everything. Ill be getting windows 7 from my friend, and maybe gonna go buy a monitor today, but heres the PC itself: Tired of playing on this Dell N5050 Family Integrated Graphics bullshit.. I want to play games for real, so Im ordering my PC today. I will be playing: -CS:GO -TF2 -SFM -GTA V -Minecraft -Fallout 4 -Shower with ur Dad simulator 2015 :^) -BO2 http://pcpartpicker.com/p/KTJkpg I went with a GTX 970 because im kind of an Nvidia fanboy, and it seems like their best card for what im willing to spend. 8GB RAM, i5 4690K, rest is all there. (?) Any tips? I feel like I did a pretty nice job. I guess buying an SSD might be good, but I dont feel like its ABSOLUTELY nessecary. Would it really help my bootup/game load time? And i dont really understand how it works.. Do you have to load things onto the SSD specifically? or i you clunk it in does it just make things load faster? idk man XD (?) AND.. about a monitor.. 1080p? 1440p? I dont really know what I want. Anyone know good places to buy? Preferably irl places like a store, but online works I guess :s. Thanks! <3 (?) Edit: Where should I order parts from? Different sites for different parts? Someone earlier today told me theyve had bad luck with motherboards on Newegg. So, wheres the best site to order everything/some parts from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoNsTiG Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Looks solid, although I would have personally opted for the 8GB amd r9 390 as oppose to the 970 - better value for money. If you install windows to your SSD, there will be a DRAMATIC reduction in bootup time, and storing games on there will slightly increase performance also.

If you install windows to your SSD, there will be a DRAMATIC reduction in bootup time, and storing games on there will slightly increase performance also. So if I get an SSD, Do I install windows on there, and all my games? Like when i go to download a game and choose a place, choose the SSD? Also, hows this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147372&cm_re=120GB_SSD-_-20-147-371-_-Product Heard that the best SSD manufacturer/makers are Samsung and Corsair, and I suppose if im downloading/storing all my games on there 120 might be a bit small over time, so the extra 14 dollars for the 250GB should be well worth it if i get this SSD Oh, not to track away from the SSD topic or anything, but btw reason i went for the 970 is because first off I love Nvidia, I like their software and everything and im sure AMD has something like that too, but I just love Nvidia! Also looked up some side by side comparisons of the r9 390 VS Gtx 970 and they both seemed pretty equal. Not sure who will win in the future for gaming, but I figured the 970 should do fine no matter what comes my way, and for the extra quietness, and the Nvidia software it was worth it to me to take the chance.

Fair enough on the nvidia point. Yes, follow this video: It takes you through the whole process of installing the OS. You probably won't be able or need to store ALL your games, only the ones which need the highest specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few more questions to anyone with experience: -Where should I order parts from? Different sites for different parts? Someone earlier today told me theyve had bad luck with motherboards on Newegg. So, wheres the best site to order everything/some parts from? -What kind of monitor should I get? Brand? Size? 1080p? 1440p overkill? I dont know which ones are best, I have 0 experience.

jun Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Dont put games on SSD? If not, does 250GB seem excessive? You should put games and large software on the ssd. Put mass storage like images and videos on the hard drive. A 250 GB SSD should do, and a 500 GB hard drive could work (unless you want to make YouTube videos, go with 1 TB) Also, I'd go for a more reliable power supply manufacturer. You don't want it blowing up after a month or two And a lot of your pc has a blue color scheme. The red RAM sticks would oddly stick out. Go for the exact same ram with a bluish color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What power supply might you recommend? Reason i went with the one i did is because if you check out the reviews on newegg theyre getting very good reviews, and people that have had trouble are actually getting responses from the manufacturer. Any suggestions for another one around 550-600 watts? Thanks for the tips! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twins_Mercury Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Just go for the 250, if you put anything steam related in it put sfm on it. It's not a big advantage for gaming but it makes programs load up really fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
