What I'm Using The PC For?

Primarily Minecraft while running Twitch (streaming) as well as Skype. Probably a little bit of GMOD.. mainly Steam games while streaming Twitch & Skype..sometimes Elgato Game Capture HD card too =)

Tell me what you like about the PC you picked and why pleaaaasse!

If u chose the first build i highly doubt that u would get far with only 120 gigabytes of storage. I would personally go with the second build with a few changes but its up you.

I would go with the first build, you don't need to invest so much into your power supply haha. I like the first one because the GPU is better and you included an SSD.


EDIT: Change the 1x8GB stick into 2x4GB sticks. Unless you plan on adding another 8GB stick.

That is not his HDD, that is called an SSD which can give you better boot times if you only put Windows on it.

HDD = Hard Disk Drive
SSD = Solid State Drive

What does a power supply essentially do? xD

Milotic wrote What does a power supply essentially do? xD

The power supply is your PSU and supplies power to your computer. If you wanted you could get away with having a 500W PSU considering you only need 347W.

PSU = Power Supply Unit

So I should be looking for a 500 or 347W PSU instead of the 660?
