Post Body

Build Help/Ready:

Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)

Yes.

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

Gaming and regular use. I don't need to be able to play everything at crazy high settings but the best I can do on a budget would be nice. Newer games like Fallout 4 and the Division on high settings.

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, FPS, game settings)

1080p, 60 FPS, Medium/High.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

$800 USD.

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

US or Canada. Most likely US.

Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). Consider formatting your parts list. Don't ask to be spoonfed a build (read the rules!).

Provide any additional details you wish below.

The purchased parts are from my 2010 rig. I'm hoping I can resuse them still.

  • Not sure if there is any reason I would need a new PSU?
  • Sound card might as well throw in.
  • Need a case still. Doesn't need to be fancy or have space for an optical drive but prefer window and USB 3.0 front panel.
  • I probably don't need a CPU cooler since I'm not overclocking but I figured it can't hurt?
  • Picked the Z97 mobo because it was basically the same price as the H97.
