    Risk it's build is good. Altho can change to 4670 and h87/b85 board for a bit cheaper if you dont want to OC.

    100%, OP should get the 4670, H87/B85 board, and drop the H110. Should save quite a lot of money.

    FYI
    Read the manuals. Especially prior to installing the cpu (if you end up watching Newegg's video).

    I'll probably work it out with my dad, and not trying to screw something up if in the end it doesn't work out maybe I'll have to spend some more to get someone to build it up for me.

    Drop the SSD if you need to save some money. It's nice to be fast but it isn't really needed.

    Remember to pick out balanced hardware so you don't bottleneck. I see too many people buy a shitty cpu and then a beastly graphics card.

    What bottleneck stands for? I do know that the builds you guys are setting up for me are made for gaming and maybe graphics.

    He's saying that you shouldn't spend a lot on one part but little on the other. What good is a top of the line graphics card, when your CPU is too weak to run a decent game? I have a friend that went all out on the CPU and other things and he ended up with no money for a graphics card. He ran everything fine, but it all looked awful.

    I built my own rig and a lot of these guys have posted helpful things to get you the right parts :) Good luck with the build!

    IMO, it's worth it. But do you like fast load speeds on programs/windows? up to you tbh.



    Risk it's build won't bottleneck lol

    If you don't know the difference between SSD and HDD it may be worth budgeting in the cost of someone building it for you.

    Or buy a pre built PC. There are tons out there that are extremely good that are way cheaper than $1500. Just because you have that budget doesn't mean you have to spend your maximum. Try to save some money to put it away for some games or some other things you'd like to buy. Like if you wanted to buy a better mouse or headphones, etc.

    That's just my opinion though.

    You will need more than our help. Someone totally new to it will need live help and a lot of guides.

    Need a new computer!

    buy gtx 770 and a 2560x1440 monitor. then go with amd cpu/mobo to save a little bit of money. Get 8gb of ram for now, you can always upgrade later. Spend $100 on a quality psu but try to save as much money as possible on the case. You should be able to get 1TB drive for $50.
