New Computer Build - HELP.

[DavieDarco]

So I'm coming from the world of Apple everything right now so I'm not exactly the best at finalizing my new gaming PC I'm trying to build.
I don't care too much for HD space so the 250gb is enough for me. I primarily play simple games such as LoL/WoW/Diablo/SC, etc - so nothing that is too insane - however - i would like to play at the best of my visual capabilities on these games and sort of "future" proof my comp for upcoming games and whatnot. My budget was 1k - it ended up being $1109 which is not too big of a deal - what do you think

Harddrive - Samsung 840 EVO 250gb SSD (400Mbps) -$140
Motherboard - ASUS Z97M-Plus 6Gb/s / USB 3.0 ATX - $125
Graphics Card - EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB - $150
Optical Drive (don't care for them, just need it to install Windows) - ASUS DVD-Writer Black SATA - $20
Monitor - ASUS Black 24' Full HDMI LED Backlight LCD w/ Speakers - $160
Power Supply - EVGA 600B Bronze 80+ Cert / 600W - $45
RAM - 2 x 8 GB G.SKILL Ripjaw X Series 240 pin - $165
Processor - AMD FX-8350 BLK Edition 8 Core 4.0Gz - $180
CASE - ANtec 300 Black Steel ATX Case w/ 3 120mm cooling fans.


Any suggestions help - i really appreciate it. Thanks!

(referring to OP)
For starters, that list won't work.

You've listed an Intel motherboard and an AMD processor.

Either switch to a socket AM3+ motherboard, or (better option), get an
i5-4690k or i7-4790k (for what you listed, the i5 is the better choice) - $240 and $340 respectively.

You could potentially slim on the ram a bit (2x4GB or 1x8GB) to make some room to keep the budget roughly similar

You already had a thread so there really wasn't a reason to make another, it would have got moved into here eventually

Gonna close this since there's another thread with more info.
