Building the dankest PC, thomas the dank engine Options

[Stupid Fat Hobbi...]

So, after much thought and cost induced heart attacks, I have decided that instead of a crappy ol' laptop, I'm going to join the elite of the master race and not just get a PC, but build it as well with literally 0 seconds of experience in building anything remotely mechanical or electrical, yes I know I AM so brave, but when I have youtube videos and tutorials as my sword and hopefully you guys as my shield, I'm pretty sure I can do this.

Talked with monkey quite a bit about this, and because of the legend he is, he procured a list of the finest components for this beast at a reasonable price (I'm only 16 I don't have wads of cash to spend like you guys)

Here is said list with links and stuff:

cooling gel - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Arctic-Cooling-MX-...HDP1RJXAW3ZGZRS £3.95

motherboard - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00K8KJ..._1_1&sr=8-1 £91.74

CPU - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-Core-i7-4790...HDP1RJXAW3ZGZRS £256.90

RAM - http://www.amazon.co.uk/HyperX-Series-1866...HDP1RJXAW3ZGZRS £35.54

fans - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Series-AF1...HDP1RJXAW3ZGZRS £17.36

case - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CC-9011052...HDP1RJXAW3ZGZRS £47.38

Hard drive - http://www.amazon.co.uk/WD-Desktop-SATA-Dr...=2tb+hard+drive £60.48

SSD - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-2-5-Inch-S...HDP1RJXAW3ZGZRS £73.13

graphics card - http://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-GTX-980-Graphi...eywords=gtx+980 £405.77

monitor - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-VE228TR-Wides...ords=hd+monitor £86.99

The total cost of it with a monitor as well (ikr mad innit?) is just under £1080

You may be thinking, "hey you stupid hobbit, listen 'ere m9, stop bragging and being so awesome" but it cannot be helped and also, I really do need your help, since, as I said before, I have no experience in doing this, I have never even owned a PC of my own, let alone built one.

Monkey told me to ask you guys if you have any objections or recommendations to the components listed above, such as a cheaper option or whatever you can think of; any help is greatly appreciated! I will probably be ordering this stuff after the 20th of August, as this is riding on my GCSE's, so any input before then would be great.

Thanks in advance,

That's pretty much the best you can get for that price tag, but unless I am missing something/being stupid then you will also need a power supply; I couldn't recommend one myself but I would suggest getting a power supply which is a little above the minimum, you don't want your parts under performing or anything like that just because you've saved £20 on the PSU... In terms of building it, from my experience the assembly of the different components isn't too hard, basically everything goes into the motherboard, seating the CPU is probably the most difficult part and it would be wise to watch a few vids on that. When assembling it remember about static electricity, one spark could fuck your rig easily.

In terms of the rest of the rig it seems good. I don't know what other games you are planning to play, but Nvidia 980 GPU is more than enough for many games. You should consider that the Nvidia 970 can be bought for almost half the price of the 980, while retaining much of the power (chivalry in particular will. But if you don't mind spending the extra money (which I don't think you will) then go for the 980 for sure, new games in particular are getting harder and harder to run at good frame rates.

If you ever want to upgrade any parts then just remember that if you change the motherboard (but I think changing the CPU is ok) then you will need to rebuy the operating system. That reminds me, a copy of windows will set you back a fair deal, or you can opt for Linux which will run chivalry but not some games.

A few more things to consider (as if there wasn't enough considering): How are you planning to connect to your router, Ethernet or WiFi? If WiFi, you need a wifi adapter which you can get for about £5. Have you got a cable to connect your computer to your monitor? Have you considered getting any zip ties for cable management? If you did consider all of those things I mentioned then good

If you're building a dank PC I'd expect no less than a few dank memes hand painted onto the side of your case, along with proper photo evidence proving your rig to be the dankest of all rigs.

Also I'm not an expert, I'd imagine a few people will correct me, but I hope it was at least a little bit helpful.
