Hi guys,
I'm going to buy a gaming PC and need your opinion on this build:
CPU: Intel Core i5-6500 3.2GHz Skylake [$204.95 @ Amazon]
Motherboard: MSI H170A PC Mate LGA1151 [$104.15 @ Amazon]
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-2400 [$84.99 @ Amazon]
Storage #1: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5" [$84.34 @ Amazon]
Storage #2: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM [$70.99 @ Amazon]
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon R9 390 8GB Nitro [$339.99 @ Amazon]
Case: NZXT Source S340 [$90.99 @ Amazon]
Power Supply: FSP Raider 650W 80+ Silver [$67.00 @ Amazon]
Keyboard: Logitech K120 Wired [$14.79 @ Amazon]
Mouse: Razer DeathAdder Chroma Wired [$57.99 @ Amazon]
Total: $1120.18
- The power supply "FSP Raider 650W Silver" is not avalible in 'PcPartPicker.com', but I'm thinking of buying it. Is it any good?
- I'm concerned about the motherboard, because I didn't find any reviews about this model. Is it any good? [I don't plan to overclock]
- I'm also thinking about downgrading the DDR4 to a simple 2133mhz. Is 2400mhz really worth the extra dollars?
