F**k mah mac, I’m gettin’ parts to build a new PC soon! I’m just happy that I finally have time to build a new PC. Been busy as hell last couple months. I hated tryin’a play games on my mac. Even the ones that are compatible with mac don’t work very well coughGModcough. I guess I’ll post specs later. Because I’ll be excited, therefore making me want to post them. HELL YEAH! NEW PC!

SPECS:
CPU: Intel Quad Core i5 3.5GHz
GPU: EVGA GTX 970 ACX 2.0 SC+ 4GB
PSU: EVGA 500 W1 500W
MB: Gigabyte H170
Case: NZXT S340 Matte Blue/Black
HD: WD Black 1TB HDD
RAM: Crucial 16GB DDR4
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium

PERIPHERALS:
Logitech C270 Webcam
Logitech G100s Gaming Mouse
Logitech G105 Gaming Keyboard
Logitech G240 Gaming Mousepad
Logitech Z150 Multimedia Speakers (Mostly use headset)
SADES SA-708 Gaming Headset
2x Acer H226HQL bid 21.5in Monitor (currently only for PS4)
AW BM800 Professional Condenser Mic
Logitech F310 Gamepad (for vehicular games)

A couple last minute changes have been made; I became very ill last week, I am still sick, but not as bad, but that has delayed this process by a week because I took it easy last week; anyway, should be getting these ordered by next week.

It’s my first time building a whole PC from scratch, but I’ve worked inside them before. (haha) So, something relatively new, and relatively familiar in a way. I’ll probably start out with entry level gaming parts, as I don’t want to spend a TON of money right away, I’ll just upgrade later. BTW The mac that I’m actually typing on right now was my YouTube and Twitch watcher and stuff, still using it for gaming, but that wasn’t its initial purpose, I’m not that stupid.

Just remember to buy a big enough tower to have PLENTY of room to expand later. Same with the power supply and Mobo unless you play on upgrading those later as well!

Let us know how it goes!

Don’t have anything for sure yet, but I’ll probably start with something like:
3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB DDR3 RAM
1TB SSD (EDIT:) <-- Ummmmm, no.
GTX GeForce 970
Not sure what motherboard or case yet though. I’ll have full specs listed later when I get to it.

Yeah, 1 TB for an SSD is bonkers.
But hey, if you’ve got the cash, then go for it.

If you have the cash to get that. Then you might as well get a HDD and get a better Graphics card

Not much point in getting anything much higher at that point, unless you want to run things over 60fps and on a massive screen.

Personally, my GTX 980 does me just fine, but then, I prefer colour quality over FPS, so 60 frames is more than enough for me on a 1080p screen.

Oh, and I just thought about the fact that the new generation of GPU’s are just around the corner.
It’s probably a better idea to just skimp out on the GPU a bit today and wait for the good stuff later.

It might be a while, but it’s a better use of money imo.

Tell me about it.

Bought my 980, 2 weeks later for the same price I could have gotten a AIO 980, and then like 2 months later for the same price the 980TI came out pfft.

Ok everyone, the list of specs was listed in the original post. I’ve been so busy I haven’t even got to it yet… Maybe some procrastination too… Anyway, I am so happy to finally get this going. But, I won’t be buying the parts until probably the week of March 14th because I’m leaving for vacation this weekend.
