PC Build - Buying Components

alanzo27

So I have my PC components set in stone, but finding it hard to choose where to get them from.

I've bought my first two components from Amazon, just to see how it fares.

I've looked at Komplett, Dabs, Elara, Computer Parts Ireland, Overclockers UK as well and not all of them have the components I required.

I've read posts of people having mixed experiences with all suppliers mentioned which makes it even more difficult.

Here is my build.

Case: Rosewill Line M Micro ATX

MB: Gigabyte GA-H110m-S2HP 1151 DDR4 2133 Micro ATX

PSU: EVGA Supernova GS 650w 80 Plus Gold

CPU: Intel i5 6600 6MB 3.3Ghz (Not overclocking so non k version is fine)

GPU: AMD R9 390 MSI Gaming 8G (Shorter than the Sapphire Nitro)

RAM: Kingston HyperX FURY 8GB 2133Mhz

HDD: 1 TB Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm 64mb
cache (Will get an SSD down the line)

I'd go with amazon just for their customer service even if they're a little more expensive.

Cheers, I'll keep that in mind. I'd rather pay a little more than have trouble later on if I need to return anything etc.

Hoping the MB is ok. I won't be doing any form of overclocking, and from what I've read most people would recommend a Z170 board for gaming.

Might hold out a while before getting the graphics card, since the new line up isn't far off and I might get it cheaper.

H110 or Z170 make no difference for gaming

Build is sound, stick with one supplier to save on shipping I'd say

Add an SSD

Will do. A 128gb SSD should be fine for the OS etc.

Finally getting away from consoles, can't wait

Not sure to hold out or not on the GPU. Looked at three variants of the R9 390, and for my case the MSI Gaming 8G looks good, but it seems to be selling out or the price is increasing.

As the new GPU's are coming soon I might put my build on hold. I have all the other components sorted. Got a 750w EVGA GQ PSU instead of the GS. 100w more and semi modular. Worked out slightly cheaper.

Ok, that's a bit shít alright. Have you tried getting on to them on chat. They usually try and do something to make it better. You might get free priority shipping which will get it to you a little bit quicker.

Should be more info by end of the month supposedly.

Ended up getting the R9 390 from Sapphire. Hopefully it fits my case Supposedly the best variant of the 390 in terms of temps and cooling efficiency from research. All I need now is the CPU and I'm good.
