Hello I am trying to build myself a computer but being a total beginner in this area I am relying on you'all to help me.
I am in the US and I work in the domain of architecture and love video games as well so I wanted to have something nice that could run last gen games and also architecture programs with 3D modeling and rendering capabilities such as Rhinoceros.
I am not looking for OS but I do need almost all the peripherals except for a mouse.
The computer that I built was done around a budget of $1000, so I would like to stick to that.
Here is what I've got so far:
case:
COOLER MASTER HAF 912 RC-912-KKN1 Black SECC/ ABS Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
power supply:
CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650 V2 650W ATX12V v2.31/ EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC High Performance Power Supply
motherboard:
ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
CPU/processor:
AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor FD8350FRHKBOX (heatsink included)
graphic card:
SAPPHIRE 100355-1GOCL Radeon HD 7850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card OC Version
memory:
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9S-8GBXL
hard drive:
Western Digital WD Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
DVD drive:
ASUS DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS Black SATA 24X DVD Burner - Bulk - OEM
monitor:
Asus VE228H 21.5" Full HD HDMI LED BackLight LCD Monitor w/Speakers
keyboard:
Razer Black Widow
Here are some additional questions I had in my mind:
1. What can I change staying around the same price?
2. If I wanted to put $200-$300 less what would I need to downgrade first?
3. If I wanted to put $200-$300 more what would I need to upgrade first?
4. I removed the non-essential stuff like SSD, a second monitor, and a second memory stick, what else could be waiting?
