get a GTX 970, and swao the 1TB hard drive for a 2TB hard drive, as 1TB can get filled up fast on a gaming pc, other than that the pc looks good
Hello, I am looking to build myself a new gaming computer around the time of Christmas, to give my parents more time on their own computer.
I found this guide by ultrawtf and was wondering if it was up to date. With this build I am also looking to buy a monitor, which can be paid outside of the budget. With that being said, what would be an ideal monitor to buy?
1000$ BUDGET
CPU - Intel Core i5-6600K
FAN - CM Hyper 212 EVO
MOBO - Gigabyte GA-Z170-HD3
GPU - Radeon R9 390
RAM - Crucial Ballistix 8GB
SSD - Crucial BX100 120GB
HDD - Seagate 1 TB
PSU - CORSAIR CX750
CASE - Corsair Carbide SPEC-01

Is there a big difference between an expensive HDD and a cheaper one? Take these for example.

I was looking at the case, and I am wondering is there any way to add USB ports, or would I have to buy a new case for that? I'm looking for a case with 3-4 USB ports.
Would this be a better CPU? https://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...awk-1090986191
Would this monitor suffice? Or should I look for something better, with this Pc https://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...awk-1375066220
