This is my first build, although I have been apart of the pc gaming community for a while now, lurking
on /r/pcmasterrace and drooling over /r/ mechanicalkeyboards.

If you have any recommendations, please feel entitled to post them.

Thanks for your time and energy! /me

Replace GTX 960 with R9 280X,AMD is better when you are building budget PC,also you need at least FX-6300 if you want it to be "mid" tier gaming pc

Alright. I was considering changing processors, anyways.

Thanks!

Use Intel with Envidia
Use AMD with AMD

These aren't rules, I just ust these guidelines when ubilding my computer.

On ************ it says under compatibility issues: 'Some AMD 970 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vishera CPUs.'

Envidia ? That makes no sense at all,but whatever :P

Do NOT worry about that at all,99% mobos are already updated it will work fine.

I think I made my point.

Im just a lil worried because my friend recently bought a new gpu and installed it and every time he tries to boot up it gives him the bluescreen because of incompatable driver issues. Thanks for the reassurance though!

GPU has nothing to do with mobo mate,don't worry about it at all,build looks great,but you should go for R9 280x

Horrible build, I'm guessing since you thanked this thread: https://www.mpgh.net/forum/showthread...2#post10688462 and repped me that you took that build over yours?

For about 700-800$ I'd do more with my money.
I'd get a great Intel CPU/Mobo combo with atleast 8-16GB of ram with an SSD/HDD and stick to the shitty intel graphics. Later down the road when you've saved enough for a decent graphics card, toss that shit in and you'll be way more happy with your system. I don't get a dedicated graphics card unless I need one for a 700-800$ below build because I can live off having shitty graphics for a week or maybe even a month or two and tossing in an actual graphics card that's better than what I would have originally gotten if I was going to buy everything at once.

Nope. I had this build made about a week before even reading that post.

EDIT: Sorry, I misread your post. No, I am not taking that build over the one I made. I guess it was a mistake thanking you.

that's why manufacturers provide warranty some hardware components always have problems just install the software before you plug graphics into motherboard install all drivers and dont leave windows update pull them down

Get FX-6300 instead of 6200.
