What about the RAM? xD

Ermagerd! How could I forget that!

[brian1996]

SSDs can be as cheap as 60 euros nowadays, so no worries about it.
Also, Mikal what's your budget you wish to spend on your PC?

Lmao attempting to run a PC without RAM xD

I have no idea, at first I thought £500, but I've already gone over that trying to get what I want out of the computer, everything is literally much more expensive than I thought and so I'm going to have to make exceptions when it comes to price, and as for the SSD's being "60 Euros", they must be the low memory ones, I'm using close to 1TB on my current computer and so I definitely need 1TB in the new one, sadly 1TB SSD's seem very expensive which is why I've chosen a 1TB SSHD, you get a huge loading speed boost and get to keep the price down, well worth it if you ask me.

I thought a computer built around a GTX 960 4GB would have been fairly cheap, but I guess not, I'm sticking with that GPU regardless though.

Any thoughts on the motherboard I've chosen? I might order that and the case tonight, need to get the ball rolling otherwise I'll just keep window shopping all year.

CPU Cooler could be the Hyper 212 evo?
Think the mobo is good enough, I don't know so much about those and I just bought a MSI Z97 Gaming 5 since I have a black and red theme.

[Mikal]

Thanks Omri, are there any real nice looking (and effective) CPU coolers though, something that looks unique, since the case I'm getting has a huge window...

Most helpful information you can give is;

Budget in $ or €
What accessories is needed? Mouse, keyboard, monitor, operating system?

And do you want to build up a nice looking PC for dust collecting or an actual effective gaming PC?

[brian1996]

You could get a SSD from a brand like Kingston or ADATA with about 120-240GB of space and a 1TB HDD.
That way you have all the space you need and you can still enjoy your most used games and such on the SSD.
AFAIK, that seems cheaper than buying a 1TB SSHD.

Basically this, as said we both can give you a good setup in a specific price range.

My money comes in, and then goes straight back out, so my budget is non-existent, I'll buy what I can when I can, I just need to get what I need listed down and then I'll buy the stuff one by one, I'm happy with the stuff I've chosen so far and so I think the only help I need now will be with RAM and PSU, I've just found the CPU cooler I want.

Thermaltake CL-P0466 SpinQ 6 Heatpipe Universal CPU Cooler (£48)

Thanks for your input guys!

Well, I myself has a case that has a window and I wanted it to look more clean and simple so I bought the Corsair H100i GTX water cooling, is it necessary? No but looking quite good. My CPU is around 34 degrees when under load so that's pretty good and I am planning to overclock my CPU in the future so it will come in handy too there.

PSU suggestion: Corsair CX 600M ?

[brian1996]

For RAM, anything from Corsair since they are good and have a wide variety of colours, Corsair Vengeance memory is probably the series you should look at.

[Mikal]

I wanted a small water cooler for the CPU at first but then after reading hours of stuff I don't understand online I decided the extra cost isn't really worth it, and reading reviews on higher brand all in one water coolers left me worried about leaks, sure it's like a 1 in 100 reviews thing but I'd rather not take the risk, I can't even get that cool and effective looking CPU fan cooler I posted above because the only ones I can find are from the US and postage to the UK basically makes it so that I might have well have bought a water cooler, so now I'm still shopping for a CPU air cooler, I've just ordered the case, decided to get the white one instead for reasons I don't know, should look cool with some dim blue lighting though.

Someone told me to get a Corsair PSU for the computer I'm currently using as my one before this blew up, but I just ended up buying the exact same one as before because it was only £20, and I knew I was going to be building a new computer, I will probably get a Corsair one for this build though since I'm putting alot of money into it, how do you know for sure what wattage I should be getting though? Since I don't know what motherboard and such I'm getting for sure yet shouldn't I wait to figure that out before getting the PSU?

Anyway the motherboard I had in mind is this one: MSI H97 PC Mate Intel LGA1150 H97 ATX Motherboard

Can you let me know if that would be a good match for the CPU and GPU I'm getting? Thanks!

Thanks, I'll look into those, I want some nice blue ones!

Edit:
Would 2 of these be good? My current shed of a computer has 16GB RAM and I wouldn't really want to reduce it on a new more powerful computer...

These also look good, and it's 2 of them...

I actually used this site when I first begun building my computer as I were a freshie and it gives you any errors if you have something that don't match up.
It also tells you how much watt your current build is going to use.

Just create a build and choose the parts

Edit: Would have gone for the HyperX FURY Series :P
