My New PC - Should I or Should I Not?

[ultrawtf]

honestly i sat down last night after everyone on this forum told me not to buy a pre built pc at $1600 and i watched a build video. it seems so easy to put it together, i mean im not dumb enough to not know how to handle a screw driver, but installing the drivers and stuff seemed a little scary to me. what if i cant get one part to work and stuff like that.

in my mind, i just thought it would be better to spend the couple extra bucks in order to get a full working 100% pc.

There is no way to break anything,worse thing that can happen is that you plugged something wrong.
Drivers and stuff is just straight up download and install,and when you are building everything is on internet or in manuals.

is there a link to a manual that you used before, or something that could get me parts and get me started?

There are youtube videos with specific part,but just tell me your budget and I will send you great part list.
I've built a lot of PCs,and I meant on manuals that you get with parts

Honestly if you're looking to buy pre-built, at the very least you shouldn't buy from Alienware. You're only supporting the cause for aids/stupidity. And if you really don't want to put together a PC yourself go find PC builders like ibuypower that have Prebuilt PC's on sale. Since September is coming there are bound to be some deals like $100 off your computer.

And when you buy pre-built, always make sure that the included power supply is from a reputable company and if not spend the few extra bucks to get one.

CPU : Intel Core i5-4690K
MOBO : Gigabyte GA-Z97M-DS3H
GPU : Gigabyte GTX 980
RAM : Kingston 8GB
HDD : Seagate 1TB
SSD : Crucial BX100 120GB
CASE : Corsair Carbide 200R
PSU : Corsair CX600
COOLER : HYPER EVO 212
It is around 1200$ and it will max out every single game on 1080p for sure,even at 1440p probably can max everything out.

There is no need to go for i7, 4690k can run every game maxed out 1440p for sure.
It is like 10 times better than 51.

It doesn't matter,but I would recommend 1x8GB just because you can upgrade to 32GB if you need it
