You may need 16 gbs of ram when the build gets older and processes start to build up / when you stream any given game. The WD SSD you have is kinda expensive - you can find 240 Gb kingston SSDs on Ebay for ~$60-70 when they hit a sale (happens semi-often, check /r/buildapcsales daily). 1050Ti is great for budget builds - check around and price match and for upcoming GPU deals. Don't forget the case and PSU. You should be able to run off This PSU and put it all in a case Like this one or similar

You could also try switching down to the Ryzen 5 1400, or waiting for the Ryzen 3.

Just looking for some feedback regarding my build so far.

Provide any additional details you wish below.

As for the CPU,mobo,ram,GPU , I've already purchased all of them. CPU,mobo,ram I got as bundle for around $400 with tax from TD, and gpu I just recently purchased and arrived.

I'm just looking to build a computer that's best for my bucks , because of my savings , I don't really have budget but I'm just a college kid that would like to minimize my spending as much as possible.

As for the Case , I couldn't find it on pcpartpicker , so I will leave it either comment or on this post.

Edit: Also , would I need a cooler for this build? If so , any recommendation would be appreciated.

The purpose of this post is that , I'm looking to get some feedback or any adjustment I could make to make the build cheaper. The reason I haven't considered SSD is because I don't really feel the need to pay $50~$80 for convenience and will decide if I should need an SSD after I finish the build and find how I feel about boot speed.

Corsair Carbide 88R, Cooler Master N200, Cooler Master Silencio 352, Thermaltake CORE V21, Corsair SPEC-M2, VIVO CASE-V06W all look decent. Not sure about the Vivo but it looks good.

Would this fit into this

yeah its weird as fuck.

I could find this one for INR 4300 ~= 60$

Is this a good bargain? but I would still need to buy 1 fan for intake.

I was thinking about getting a better CPU than the one listed, its the Intel i5 6600k, would it be better than the one you've listed?

Ok so I've looked online and got these parts, can you check if they are okay?

I suggest the Corsair 88r mATX case to pair with the mATX motherboard

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01550Y9GA/?tag=pcpapi-20

It's $50 if you select Amazon as the seller on the right hand side

Excellent, thanks for the help.

I know at this point I am pretty much just being nitpicky, but will the yellow color of the RAM be apparent when inside the case? It'd be better if the colors matched a bit better. Would something like the G.Skill Ripjaws V in this 2x4GB alignment perform well with this setup of speeds at either DDR4-3733, 3200, or 3000?

Any suggestions for a case around that price that is microATX with a window (and if possible a PSU shroud)? This is the list of cases under $65 and to be honest not a lot of the cases on there are great, and those that stand out are more around $60. I did some research and found that the Thermaltake H15 case that you linked earlier is not sold in NA, but is sold in Aus, UK, LatAm, and more.

Any thoughts on the Corsair Carbide 88R or Cooler Master Masterbox Lite 3.1?

Thanks so much for the help.

Any normal mid-tower case will work. Some mini-tower cases will work too like the Corsair Carbide 88r, but this means that you will be stuck with microATX motherboards for future builds (unless you want to buy another case).

The things I look for in a case:

1. Front fan mounts (how many can you fit, what size). Intakes are more important than exhaust.
   
2. Cable management (holes and PSU shroud).
   
3. HDD cage location.
   
   Having a gap in front of the HDD cage will let you fit a fan in front to keep your drives cool. The S340 and the Lepa both have a PSU shroud, so you can hide excess cables there.

fuck - I typed out a good long reply to you and hit my browser back button and lost it. here we go typing it up again..


As far as the cases, I am looking to keep it relatively cheap. I found this but I also like this. I like them as they'll 'show off' the white finish on that motherboard I'm eyeing. Do you have any other suggestions in that price range?

I'll take your suggestion and leave out the audio card. This is a high(er) quality MOBO if I do go for it so it should be sufficient.

As far as the GPU - am I missing something with this product? This is a great price for a 950 (isn't it!?) and would totally go for this as opposed to the cheaper cards my coworker is offering. This would operate better than those, right?

I am really hoping for some good suggestions here. Money isn't an unlimited factor - and this is absolutely a want over a need, but I definitely want to do this, but do it right and not put hard worked money to waste.

Should I buy this AIO, or should I buy this one? AFAIK bigger is always better on radiators? And I don't mind spending the extra 10 bucks if that's true. this is my case.
