    Question Getting new PC, would appreciate help :)

    So it finally happened, I'm getting a new PC. Collecting information from different sources I came up with this configuration. Since this will probably be the last time I ask for any suggestions I would really appreciate some comments about how or if I should improve something. This is my budget now, so comments like "add some more money and buy ..." won't help. ^^

    I plan to take Cooler Master Elite 310 Case, I couldn't find it on that website. http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/elite-310/ This is the one ill take.

    I have Razer Naga, X7 G800MU Keyboard and Asus 22" (can't remember the model, its kinda older) and those are the components I don't need.

    So, feel free to leave a comment, thank you.

    The case, its too thin and won't fit most aftermarket cpu coolers (has 155) you want close to 160mm. You need 2 sticks to enable dual channel, so 2x4gb.

    Also, this is better

    edit: btw i noticed your build above is 850 without the case, which mean you can fit an R9 290 inside the build and still be lower than what you got.

    Thank you for your reply.
    I kinda knew that first person that replies will say get 212 instead of TX3 and yea, I changed that.

    I changed the case, price is the same and this one is bigger if I see correctly. That PS and RAM are not available in my country so ill stick with my choice just replacing 1x8 with 2x4GB.

    That Intel SSD is 100e here so that is off.

    If i may ask, why Z97M Pro4 instead of Z97 Anny? It's not a big money difference but why did you picked it? For 2 16bit slots? And 5th gen cpu?

    And looking at R9 290 I can only get this one, is that still better? http://www.asus.com/rs/Graphics_Cards/R92904GD5/

    Once again, thank you for your reply.

    Yes the pro 4 is better. What country are you at and what shop are you buying from? So we can look and suggest things to you. You should have started with that instead of pcpartpicker us

    I used pcpartpicker since everyone is using that and it's nice way to see eveything in one place
    I'm from Serbia and I will use some of the webshops available, all Serbian.
    http://www.itsvet.com/ is the best website we have used to search for components, but that won't help you if you don't know the language

    language aint the problem will look at it later when i have more time, we had a fella like less than a week ago for similar build. Maybe you can scroll some posts back in the mean time and check yourself.#

    Ok I'm searching a bit, and everything is fine, I only don't know which graphic card should I take. If you look at that website I gave you, my budget will be around 800e, try not to go over that. And I don't need HDD at this point (will get it soon), those ~50e can be better spent on something else.

    I've edited my 1st post to add some more information.

    Thank you, once again.

    If you can't go to 841€ atm just ditch the aftermarket cpu cooler for now and buy it later when you want to overclock or stock one starts making noise.
