Good day!
I am new to this forum and I am building my very first personal PC. To this date, these are the parts I already bought :
NZXT Phantom 410 chassis
Cougar 500ST power supply
ASUS B85 Pro Gamer motherboard
Western Digital Blue 1TB hard drive
I am now about to purchase my processor. I am considering Intel Pentium G3258 20th anniversary edition.
Within the next two months I am also planning on buying an 8 or 16GB GSkill Ripjaws 1600MHz DDR3 and an ASUS STRIX GTX 960 2GB video card.
What I need to know is is this build good enough? This is a budget build as I don't have that much money and prices are a quite high
here in Cebu City, Philippines.
Also, being a newbie, I would also like to ask if purchasing a closed loop LCS would be better than a custom loop.
I am planning to replace my processor with an I5 haswell refresh early next year so I am considering LCS.
I am puzzled with the choices that I have and I do not have any experience in building LCS. If I go with a closed loop for my CPU, would I be able to use it should i decide to custom loop and also cool my gpu?
Thank you and God bless.
