Alright im about to build my own PC for the first time and i did alot of research but im scared.

Heres the build im about the buy:
pcpartpicker.com/p/g96nsY

I will also buy a high speed HDMI cable and a CAT6 cable from the router to my bedroom.
What else do i need for tools or cables etc? I already have a no 2 non magnetic philips screwdriver.
What about a static wristband? Or thermal paste for on the CPU? Is all of that a waste of money?

Any constructive help is appreciated. Irony/sarcasm not welcome.

Wait for Polaris, their 480 outperforms the 980 for an expected price of $250

Static wristband only if you're mega paranoid/worried. All you do is wear it and attach it to your case to keep yourself grounded.

Make sure you have your case on a flat, hard surface. Also make sure if you're on carpet, you aren't wearing socks.

Make sure you install the risers (look like little screw holes that screw into your case) for the motherboard if they don't come pre-installed on your case.

Finally, aftermarket thermal paste or an aftermarket cooler is completely worth it. Both are extremely cheap, get some Arctic Silver 5 and a Cooler Master Hyper 212.

Don't be afraid to be generous with your thermal paste application, but don't drown the thing in it. Just rub out a nice coating on the processor before slapping the cooler on.

Alright thanks.

But about the thermal paste, i heard you basically dont even need a cooler if youre not overclocking. So im getting a cooler anyway but not overclocking, so isnt the paste a little redundant?

At least wait for Pascal to release tomorrow or what not for prices to go down.

Does it release tomorrow? I can wait about 1 more week max because im currently without a pc and i cant wait any longer.

>Buying Windows 10 for 80

Buy a cheap key for 7 or 8 and upgrade

Nvidia Pascal is unveiling tomorrow, Polaris is June? At least wait for Pascal so prices drop. EBay will likely have an influx of cards also.

Will they affect all gpu prices or just the competing gpus?

Probably just nvidia cards

Should have gotten a magnetic screwdriver

Just torrent winmeme, wtf who pays for that shit lol

I heard that can damage your components

I just want everything legit

It wont damage your components and it will make your life a lot easier

No. Thermal paste is super important.
Without it you might as well not have a fan.
And you /will/ ruin you CPU without a fan.

He is just being an asshole. Chances? Slim. Possible? Yes. Use a nonmagnetic screwdriver.

I've fucked around plenty using one, but I don't really care.

>$140 for 1080p

The only thing you are going to be touching with it are screws. It has 0 chance of damaging things unless you are a retard

Yeah, exactly. He is here. Accidents happen. Retards are clumsy.

For the peripherals i have to admit i just picked whatever i thought looked coolest on the logicalincrements list. Are you saying i should just get a cheap mouse and keyboard instead? And what monitor should i get instead?

Thanks for the feedback

When I got my i5 (it was my first time building a PC then), its instructions said it came pre-applied with thermal paste. It took about 2 years until that no longer did the trick. I used whatever was already recommended here after cleaning it up and haven't noticed a temp or performance issue since (a few years, but it is time to reapply some anyway). That said, I'd get the paste; it's better than whatever they put on there.

And yeah you totally want a fan. The question is whether you want it to be aftermarket or not. Most processors come with a stock fan that will be fine for your purposes (not overclocking). Just make sure your case is well reviewed and has proper ventilation. $20 or so will get you a better product, but it's totally unnecessary (and the $20 could afford an upgrade somewhere else if you're working on a budget).

if you have the cash get a mmo mouse
the extra buttons for gaming are fucking handy

>I will also buy a high speed HDMI cable and a CAT6 cable from the router to my bedroom.

Dude, the cheapest HDMI will do, and CAT5 is more than enough

>no case
>no gpu
>$80 mouse
>$80 keyboard
>he fell for the 16 gb ram meme
>ssd why
>some components not optimally priced
>$1,200
2/10 would not waste money on

You can build a better system than that for half the price; check out this $600 build:
