(Part 2) Top products from r/PcBuild

1. Well this depends on what settings/FPS are you happy with
   
2. Well its right price for GTX 770 but you can get GTX 960 for similar price too : http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00UJ7335I/ref=dp_olp_new_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=new
   I recommended GTX 960 4Gb because it have support for DX12.1 which GTX 770 don't, and most of 2016 titles will be DX12 implemented and will gain much better Performance over DX11 in same game. Here read this : http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2643060/evga-gtx-960-4gb-evga-gtx-770-2gb.html
   
   
3. yeah 600W is enough , no need to upgrade that yet.
   
4. NO, switching to atx from mini-itx will not give you significant performance, basically all you get is more air to dissipate your heated components to air. It all depend on what type of case fan setup you have build and how well it performs. A well setup minitix will gain much better thermals over poorly optimized atx setup. And performance gain will not be significant, Reason ATX is used is for ease to upgrade build over time which is relatively difficult for mini-itx
   
5. Nah, Its ok, as long as it performs well, if you have bucks, go ahead.
   
   Hope this helps,
   
   kudos ;)

Don't sell yourself so short on peripherals, you can tell the difference between really cheap mice and keyboards and moderately priced ones. You don't have to go all out and spend 200 on a mouse and keyboard, but there's definitely options way better for 100 bucks all together. You'll see difference in build quality, design, ergonomics, durability, and reliability.

Mice:

• Logitech G502 $35
  
• Logitech G203 $25
  
• Logitech G403 $30
  
• Razer DeathAdder $45
  
• I personally have the Razer Basilisk $55, and I think its the best mouse I've ever owned. I personally like the sensitivity toggle on the side as well as the ergonomics. Additionally I like the Razer suit because you can customize the appearance, sensitivities, and macros for your peripherals and it saves to a online profile, so my profiles and appearances can be the same on my laptop and desktop.
  
  Keyboards:
  
  
• I really like Corsair and Razer keyboards. I definitely think getting a keyboard with mechanical switches is worth it, the responsiveness, feel, and durability is way higher than their membrane/rubber dome counterparts. Some people don't like the clack of a mechanical, but manufacturers have started offering quiet/silent switch options.
  
• You can make your own choice tho and here are a bunch of options under 50 and under 100

this build will do everything you need it to do and do it like a beast.

For monitors you can either go with 2 of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00P6O3YYO/ref=psdc_428652031_t2_B00OA2I362

or you can go with something like this:

Dell Ultra HD 4K Monitor P2415Q 24-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor

or a 27 inch here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PC9HFNY/ref=twister_B014R6J7VU?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

and get a really cheap monitor like this:http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/samsung-monitor-fx2490hd
that would be my recommendation. get the 27 inch if your really going to need it, and the 20 dollor TV, or get a 24 inch version

http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Monitor-P2415Q-24-Inch-LED-Lit/dp/B00PC9HFNY

and save the extra money. Just my 2 cents. GL on the build! promise you wont regret it :D

Now I need to figure out how to connect to the internet haha. I dont think my cousin has a wireless connection. I noticed he had an Ethernet cable connected to his tower. I saw this online

https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-TL-WDN4800-Wireless-network-Adapter/dp/B007GMPZ0A

Do you recommend a better wireless adapter for pc?

I'd go 16GB on the RAM. This may not be the best deal, but what I found thru the same site.

Also, on the cooler, this tested on par with the 212 and is a few dollars cheaper to help offset memory cost.

Canadian prices throw me off too. 😅

Everything is looking fine dude except the power supply. Stay away from the brand Thermaltake.

Try to get something like this>

https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Warranty-Tester-100-B1-0500-KR/dp/B00DZ6R9GE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1473733025&sr=8-2&keywords=evga+500w

If you have any questions people ask away. :)

As a different note you could try a 1-to-2 splitter like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VNW556I/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_awdb_x_BLjOybBPF338A

They make different options from a single splitter to a fan hub

You might just try the built in cooler and only upgrade if it’s throttling/causing you performance issues.

1. Noctua NH-D9L, Premium CPU Cooler with NF-A9 92mm Fan (Brown) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QCEWTAW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_vcOmDbHJQZWHG
   
   
2. Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler with PWM Fan, Four Direct Contact Heat Pipes https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005O65JXI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_WdOmDbBJG6SA3

Take the motherboard out and look for blown capacitors or damaged board.

Some places can just replace the capacitors (Very small soldering iron tip and flux)

I had a similar problem not too long ago. Turns out the bottom of the board had a short. Looked like water damage had erroded the board away and broke part of the copper connection inside the board itself. That's harder to fix but you can use something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Circuit-Scribe-Conductive-Ink-Pen/dp/B00OZATJ3A to repair the connection.

I advise against this but as a last ditch effort you could try.

Other than that it's a new mobo i'm afraid. Good news tho. Motherboards are fairly cheap (Depending on what type you want/need)

https://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-LINK-TL-WN881ND-Wireless-Express-Antennas/dp/B006BSPTAQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=pci-e+wifi+card&qid=1562351980&s=gateway&sprefix=pci-e+&sr=8-3

You could also order this, and it will fit your smaller pci-e slots

How about Silverstone Tek?

I was looking at getting 2 of these https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-2133-288-Pin-Memory-CMV8GX4M1A2133C15/dp/B00SV7IILC/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=8GB+%282X4GB%29+DDR4+2133MHz+SDRAM+Memory&qid=1572849776&s=electronics&sr=1-4

But you are saying I should be able to run something a bit faster/better if we are talking about a memory upgrade?

Do you have anything you could point me to?

gaming and watching videos.

Main games i play are:

• Runescape
  
• Minecraft
  
• CoD: Black Ops 2
  
• Civilisation
  
• Total War: Shogun 2
  
  With regards the monitors, I've deliberately chosen two that are the same size as I've been using different sized monitors for years and it's always annoyed me.
  
  I've been told else where that two of these would be better as they would be native resolution..
