Look good? Paintcheck helped a bit.



Khorn

Here is a bit of advice specifically for you.



No. You didn't even know what a processor was a few days ago.

Ragolution

There's not even a video card in there.

Khorn

I assume he plans to use his gtx 650 he has.

nKe

3570K with gtx 650?
I'd buy a cheaper motherboard to go with that setup, unless you for some odd reason want to oc your 3750K.

Silver Knight

Seems like an alright deal although tbh your better off waiting a few months since the new generation of intel processors will be out soon.

Don't know much about Intel processors as I've only gotten AMD ones. Looks good I guess, I'd go for a cheaper mobo since you don't really need a $130 mobo to run anything special. Good on you for picking ASUS tho

Except if you want upgradability, a good BIOS, or better clock precision, more PCI busses, etc.

got mine for around $20-30 cheaper plus all the aforementioned

Paintcheck

$130 is pretty cheap for a mobo that isn't a piece of shit. You can do cheaper but you'll probably have to settle for less on it or have issues with voltage regulation and whatnot. While that's not super crucial if you aren't planning to hardcore overclock you might as well spend the $30 and get something good that will last.

the thing with cases?

they're all the wrong size

no, really

make a case with some plexiglass and a drillgun

Frostee



How about now gais?

Silver Knight

The core thing to sort out is choosing a motherboard that will last at least 5 years and support the technology as it slowly phases in, if you buy a cheap mobo, expect it to be phased out within a year or two which will mean you will be in the same position you are now then.

Graphics card, HDD, RAM, coolers and the processor can all be replaced and upgraded.

I would not buy that setup, frostyy.
For 600$ you can get much better setup than that. Every piece of hw you've chosen (except the cpu) is bad.

Ragolution

frosty just pick up a computer at goodwill for $80

Steven :D

gl plugging in all your usb 2.0 periphrials into that thing


Lucky Pig

If that's the only down side you could get a USB hub I suppose

Except they are notorious for slowing down read/bus times and not worth the 10$ they cost.

Latest image. What you think about the keyboard?

nKe

Why do you even ask opinions if you're going to stick with a bad build?

Ragolution


Khorn

I'd still say get rid of the radiator and grab a cooler instead. The PSU is fine as is the RAM.

The motherboard, the case and the keyboard could be changed to something better.

You shush. Even Buck thinks your stupid.

You're quite wrong. There are likely options that are as good but none of that is terrible by any stretch of the imagination.

Unless you're one of those idiots who thinks AMD is actually a good choice.
