Thread: 800€ build

  1. #1

    800€ build

    The budget is going all on hardware (no OS, no peripherals) and is being built from scratch (apart from a Samsung 830 256GB I already have from my laptop).
    Playing on a 1080p monitor mostly on wow/guild wars 2, but I play some more demanding games from time to time. I'm planning to stream, but nothing too high resolution/really frequent and definitely only for fun so I guess an i5 will be enough. Oh, last, I'm from Italy. As a site reference I've been using qmaxtech.it, but I'm open to other solutions as well obviously.

    PSU: Thermaltake Berlin 630W (44€)
    Case: Zalman Z11 Plus (53€)
    RAM: G.Skill Ares 8GB (2x4 GB) 1600 1.5V (59€)
    CPU: i5-4670k tray only (186€)
    CPU cooler: Thermalright Silver Arrow (65€)
    Mobo: Asus Z87-A (117€)
    Storage 1: Samsung 830 (already have it)
    Storage 2: 500GB Toshiba (40€) 7200RPM 32MB SATA3
    PCI-E: some wifi card singleband from TP-Link (9€)

    GPU: EVGA 760 SC w/ACX (209€ from the EVGA site, waiting for it to be available for purchase)

    Shipping from that site is 21€, bringing the total to 803€.

    Any critics/suggestions?

    Get a better quality PSU, this one is slightly more expensive but well worth it.

    XFX PRO550W

    I'd change the HDD to a Wester Digital:

    Western Digital Blue 500GB

    The case is personal preference but quality, cable management and such, I'd change to this:

    Corsair Carbide 200R

    Try the Be quiet! Dark Rock 2 cooler, which takes you just under €800.

    Why order the evga gpu from evga themselves, when the shop has it aswell and it would be cheaper/easier?

    Because on the shop it's actually 40€ more.

    Thanks for the suggestions by the way!
