Hey guys. I'm looking to build a PC within the next 3 months. I started looking around at parts. But since it's been 6 years since I've built a PC, I know things have changed. I'm a little rusty on the logistics.
I would appreciate it if you guys could look at my build below and give me some information:
1). Is everything compatible?
2) This is going to strictly be a gaming PC. So I would like the best possible performance towards that end.
3) After coming up with the build below, I'm still about $300 under budget. So if you guys notice something that I can swap out for an upgrade, please let me know. or if you just happen to see an item that you think won't be as efficient as something else you might suggest, let me know.
4) In the past when building, I used Arctic Silver 5 compound for the processor heat sink. Is this still the best to use? Or is there a better alternative?
Otherwise, I just want to make sure that this is going to be an efficient, high performance machine which can be upgraded in the future.
Without further adieu:
