Tips on building a PC

Having built many, many computers from parts my piece of advise is to make sure that you keep to your budget. You should also make a plan for a year from now to see what you may want to upgrade, and make sure that those components on the motherboard are upgradable.

Make sure that your case comes with a power supply. Make sure the power supply is sufficient to power any and all components that you have and may install in the future. MAKE SURE THAT POWER SUPPLY IS ON 220v before you plug it in!

There are so many different configurations that you are better off asking if x beer is better tasting than y beer. People have opinions on everything. Just keep it to your tastes and your budget.

Thanks for the advice @dalfor
I didn’t realize that my case had a power unit built in, so that’s a save of 40 ;)
The motherboard will be good for future use,here are the particular specs

ASUS H97-PRO GAMER, Intel Socket 1150 for the 5th/New 4th/4th Generation Core i7/Core i5/Core i3/Pentium/Celeron Processors, Chipset: Intel H97, Memory: 4 x DIMM, Max. 32GB, DDR3 1600/1333 MHz Non-ECC, Graphic: Integrated Graphics Processor, AMD Quad-GPU CrossFireX Technology, Expansion Slots: 1 x PCIe 3.0, 1 x PCIe 2.0, 2 x PCIe x1, 3 x PCI, Storage: 1 x SATA Express port, 1 x M.2 Socket 3, 4 x SATA 6Gb/s, Support Raid, LAN: 1 x Gigabit LAN, Audio: 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC featuring Crystal Sound 2, Back I/O Ports: 1 x PS/2, 1 x DVI-D, 1 x D-Sub, 1 x HDMI, 1 x LAN, 4 x USB 3.0, 2 x USB 2.0, 6 x Audio jack(s), Internal I/O Ports: 1 x COM port(s) connector, 1 x Clear CMOS jumper, 1 x M.2 Socket 3, Accessories: Users manual, ASUS Q-Shield, 4 x SATA 6Gb/s cable(s)

Also, the Intel i7 processor is quad core,8 threads and clocks out at 4 GHz,which is very nice,although I’m gonna have to get another fan.

The RAM is more than enough,should last me for 3-4 or more

The graphics card is also more than enough because I don’t plan on playing games or video editing.

The case is good ,it has 2 fan slots on the top and side,which be more than enough for 5+ years.

I am likely to get a 128 GB SSD in the next year to make programs like Photoshop start faster and windows boot up faster.

I will also need some final piece of advice needed to seal the deal.Should I get an optical drive?

Why shouldn’t you? I think it is a must to get an optical drive only if you are planning on buying original softwares of your need! :)

I didn’t say that ;)

The jury is still out on optical drives. If you already have one hanging around I would just install that. I can give you one of about 12 that I have hanging around. I have not used the optical drive on my laptop of desktop computers for over 3 years. I would say as cheap as possible with no bells or whistles if you do purchase one.

Thank you @dalfor and @IAmDevil for the suggestions,I’m off to buy a new PC!
