Hey there guys, I've recently decided that my xbox is getting really boring and since I had an pc years ago I've still got a steam account with quite a lot of games on it. So I decided to make a new pc hopefully going to buy it soon and I want to create the pc myself. So far I've created this [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] any improvements or changes I should make to it ?

You're going to want to change that CPU cooler and a 500/550W PSU would suffice. No need for a 620W PSU but it would be fine. Also, I'd spend an extra 20GBP on the GPU to get a GTX 770 instead of the R9 290.

Sorry! I do apologise. I was typing "R9 290" but thinking "R9 270X". Apologies. The R9 290 does out perform the GTX 770. The only real advantage of the GTX 770 is that it is much quieter.

For the CPU cooler, I would go with a Be Quiet dark rock pro 2 or 3!

OP, DO NOT get a reference R9 290. they get UNBELIEVABLY HOT.
Made a few changes that will be better.
