High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

It might just be me, but the Mobo, PSU, Case, and Fans are not showing anything.[DOUBLEPOST=1501816629][/DOUBLEPOST]Also you can go cheaper on your ram for sure. If you aren't on a budget go for it, but any sticks will be just as good as the others, no need to spend $80 on them.

For your CPU check out this

Currently I run that, the little thing goes and I can overclock it. I've had no problems running any games, GTA V, Fallout 4, The Witcher 3.

The rest of the build looks good, except I can't see the Mobo, PSU, Case, or Fans.

I am on a budget, but Im trying to get fast ram, but if you could find something equally fast and cheaper ill go for it
I just fixed it so you can see them, its a bug with xenforo or something


Also for your CPU suggestion (Mute the audio)

Hi FluffedWolf,

My comment will be split into two parts, one regarding the actual part list you have provided, and another with a list of questions to help determine what components suit you best.

Firstly, you have an unlocked processor (overclockable) with a locked motherboard (not overclockable). All Intel processors ending with a capital K are unlocked processors. In combination with a locked motherboard, would be practically useless. You'd be spending an unecessary amount of money on an unlocked processor.

*To overclock a component (cpu/graphics card), you have to draw more power from the PSU (power supply), and increase the speed (measured in MHZ). You then gain more performance, but you draw more power, exhaust more heat, and reduce life-span.

Secondly, you might prefer the Corsair LPX RAM modules over the Kingston brand.

Onto my comment regarding the actual build. What will the computer be used for? Gaming? Editing? Casual tasks?
What games will be played, if any? What is your maximum budget?

Is there a unlocked motherboard with usb-c for less than $100?
Power consumption is not a problem neither is the heat.
I took a look at that ram and I have chosen it, thanks for the suggestion.

For your questions
1.Gaming, Editing, Programming, Recording, and casual tasks.
2.Games like rainbow six siege, payday 2, tomb raider, sleeping dogs, prototype 2, just cause 2, gta 5, skyrim and hitman absolution

Those are the most demanding games on my current build which I cant play like I would like to.
Most of these games I gotta play on low to get good fps and they look like crap on low.
RSS I cant even run.

You got a couple of options for an unlocked motherboard in the $100 price range. If you wanna add another $10 you're solid on a decent motherboard depending on what chipset you go with, like Z170 (Intel 6th gen) or Z270 (Intel 7th gen). If you'd like, I'll more than happily privately message you some of my recommendations, based on knowledge and personal experience.

In terms of your requirement and games you'd like to play, they all seem very low-tier, and the tasks aren't too heavy. If you want help with all the niffy iffy things for your new computer, and components that suit you best, you can just shoot me a private message. My services are always free.

I made the mistake of buying a ATX case for a MicroATX motherboard, and it looks small in there, and if you don't have RGB fans it it looks funky

Different hard drive. $60 for a 1tb desktop drive is way too much. go for a ssd for that price.
60$ For 1TB is very common (within a 15$ extended range), a ssd with 250GB goes for 100$, or 60$ for 120, but that’s not worth it
