New PC, thoughts?

[matty1053]

Got parts for a new PC, glad to finally be able to do this. (Haven't got the GPU just yet....) The build will entirely cost around $750, which I was kind of "not" hoping that much... but it'll last me a while. I'm still deciding on a HDD or SSD.... will do some gaming on this rig.

Processor: Intel i5-4590 @3.3ghz ($210... ****ing shipping and taxes... it would have been $185... AND I PICKED THE CHEAPEST SHIPPING!)
Graphics Card: Nvidia GTX 960 2gb ($200... good deal, heard great reviews about this card, should last a while)
RAM: Crucial Ballistics 2x4gb (8gb total) ($40, well the standard of PC's now pretty much.... or at least for the common computer users)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B85M-DS3H-A microatx ($52... This is apperently a really good motherboard according to a local computer part store)
Case: Xion 310-Black ($25... hey, it had free shipping... can't complain much. Nice case, comes with 1 fan built in.)
HDD: 1tb HDD OR a 250gb SSD? **1tb for the space... but 250gb ssd for the performance.... ehh...
OS: Windows 8.1 (free upgrade to 10, so.... pretty much windows 10 lul) ($100... yeah windows home premium 64bit)
PSU: 550 watt EVGA Bronze 80+ ($58, good psu)


What you guys think? I CAN install Windows via USB correct????

I'm not sure... I think you can only install Windows through a solid copy or a digital download...

You got the 960...you lucky duck. I ordered a prebuilt for christmas and its got a Geforce 750 in it, im going to buy the 960 and order it seperately. You have a really nice card in it though. You should have tried to get the 970 instead though. Thats top of the line.
