[Build Ready] First time building gaming PC. Any advise is welcomed
Author Summary
lzzhang10 is in Build Ready
Post Body

This is my first time building a PC. The short-term goal is a gaming PC able to play Hitman and Tomb Raider at Ultra settings on an 1920 x 1080 resolution at > 30fps. According to TechSpot, I chose the 7950 as my video card.

I realize that my PSU seems cheap, but it seems like a decent one (original at $60), and got severely discounted on Newegg.

If any one has any advise at all, please let me know. I really have a humble mind since this is my first build. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks
