Description
First time builder, i always wanted to build a computer but was afraid of compatibility problems. Thanks for PCPARTPICKER site and all the people on here made my wish come true. Tried to stay with a couple of companies so everything would work well togather. I guess that's just me but that's what i did good or bad. I know i went overboard but when you wait as long as i did you tend to do that. My last computer was a Gateway FX6800-01e about 6 years ago so i was duo. I will use this for everything (surfing, gaming , streaming) So far all is running ok i think. I want to learn more on OC . Just trying to get set up first. I hope this fall to get a 3 monitor set up just trying to figure out which way to go.
Part Reviews
CPU
Wow love the speed . My old computer had a 920, what a difference!
CPU Cooler
I waited for a couple months for this and i am glad i did! great product. From what i read they froze in shipment so corsair recalled them.
Motherboard
Great quality over kill yes. But you are buying this for the back plate and the front armor. And it comes with all the bells and whistles. Looks great and dust protected.
Memory
Great quality! Go to corsair web site and buy there you get the light bars for free! Amazon charges $35! Make the cost worth it.
Storage
Wow loving the boot time it is so fast no waiting!
Video Card
Wow great Quality! $140 up grade. If i didn't do it i would have second guessed myself and would be pissed. Hope to learn how to get the most out of them.
Case
Great case, easy to work with. Just the right size for great air flow and lots of fans. But what sold me was the big view you get. Why do all this if you can't see it! Great quality can't go wrong.
Power Supply
Nice and easy to work with and i like the warranty. Got a deal on the price so i bought this over the gold which would have been good enough.
Operating System
So far windows 8.1 is working ok , just hard to get use to. The only thing i haven't got working is my xbox 360 controller. I watched utube videos on how to fix this but it doesn't seem to work.
