So, as the title states, I'm looking for help for a first build. I don't even know what my budget should really be. I make $8.50/hr, 12hrs/week, basically no bills or expenditures at the moment. I will, however, not being getting any of the pieces until after father's day (for a few reasons). [EDIT] Meaning I'll be at $0 at that time.
Criteria time:
First build so I'd like to be able to experiement with everything. Overclocking, modding, eventually WCooling. Everything.
I play games ALOT. Mostly LoL, but I do go up into the hemispheres of BF3 and other stressful games.
Right now, I'm looking at probably a 1155 Pentium based build, due to the cheapness.
If you can sway me and give me a description of why I should buy differently (by figuring out what my budget actually is) I will probably be swayed easily. Reps for the person with the most viable build.
Also, I just really like the looks of most of the NZXT cases and such. Really like the Guardian 921RB, but this is cheaper for still cool.
Current build as follows;
CPU: Intel Pentium G860 3.0GHz Dual-Core Processor
Motherboard: ASRock Z75 PRO3 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
Memory: Patriot Viper 3 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Kingston SSDNow V200 Series 128GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 660 2GB Video Card
Case: NZXT M59 - 001BK ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair Professional 650W 80 PLUS Bronze ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply
Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer
HALP?
