Computer Build Help...

[Erisyuka]

The only problem with this is, I know next to nothing about computers, how to build them, or what each of the parts do.

To start off, watch this video.

What do you guys have against Windows 8? I use it and like it a lot...

I'll watch it tomorrow, I have school in the morning and I need to get some sleep.

Well I love it, but I do understand why people don't like it. Windows has been relatively the same for a while, so not only is the change kinda ridiculous, the initial impressions weren't great because of how hard it was to use with a mouse, which Windows 8.1 fixed quite a bit of.
Besides that Microsoft did a lot of other dumb things on the side, like get rid of Shadow Copy.

Anyways, it seems that most people that give it a chance like it. My dad was an XP guy and he really likes 8.

Here's what I came up with, I've heard this GPU does well on BF4 too. I would have chosen an AMD R9-290x, but those are crazy expensive.
The only downside with this list is it doesn't include that Keyboard you included, but I'd say just wait on that, because this is a pretty good build so there is no reason to nerf it just for a keyboard. If you still want it, I'd suggest just not buying the SSD, though it's worth keeping. It'll help speed up windows and games a bit, plus less issues if you record, because you'd be recording to a different drive than you're playing off of.

I'd suggest you'd get two harddisk of 1 TB than just 1 of 2 TB, Just have one for anything installation related and one to just save stuff on, This will keep them both pretty quick

uhhh, umm, potato

So after looking through a few designs, Eris' included, I've made a few changes. Here are two of the designs I've made: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Lively/saved/3Igp and http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Lively/saved/3I0z

Any suggestions on which design is better?

 

[Erisyuka]

Alright so they both seem good, just a few comments.

• The first list doesn't have any ram. (just thought I'd point that out)
• Are you going to overclock your CPU? If not, you don't need a processor with a K at the end,
  • (3770k, same cpu i have btw)
• I'd say if you don't have a specific reason to buy the 3770k, go with a 4770 or 4770k, it's newer, more power efficient, and has more SATA3 ports, amongst other benefits.
  • Though if i remember correctly the 4xxx CPU's don't overclock well, look into that if you're interested

Out of curiosity, what's overclocking? I keep hearing that, and google didn't work for me ;/

I have no plans on overclocking anything. I'll edit the designs to incorporate your suggestions.

If you want to save money, use my setup:

INTEL SETUP)
CPU: Intel Core i5-3750K Ivy Bridge 3.4 GHz LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core ($224.99 @ Newegg)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan ($42.99 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V LK LGA 1155 Intel Z77 SATA 6Gb/s ATX ($104.99 @ Newegg)
GPU: PowerColor Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB CrossFireX Support ($159.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws 8GB DDR3 1600 ($84.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($59.99 @ Amazon)
Case: Fractal Design Define R4 w/Window (Black Pearl) ATX Mid Tower Case ($99.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: Corsair CX 600W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($66.24 @ Amazon)
Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer ($17.98 @ OutletPC)

It works like a charm! 450 FPS + at least 100 FPS while recording. It will fit your needs, and Windows 8 is no problem with Start8. It's actually a bit cool!
