My partner and I are getting married this month, and with our wedding money we're planning to buy ourselves a top of the range PC each (i.e. two PCs). Since we spend most of our time gaming then we thought this the perfect gift to give ourselves. We're not quite sure on budget yet, but were thinking around €1000 for each setup. We're based in the Netherlands
What do you think of the following? anything you would change, upgrade, downgrade? We play mostly WoW but also a lot of other games intermittently.
One rig will also have 4 HDDs exsiting installed as its used as a server also.
And for the build with the extra HDDs I would get another motherboard with the required amount of sata connections. And possible a bigger PSU to be on the safe side.
For the PSU
And the motherboard . Motherboard is a Z97 which allows for overclocking with a K cpu, but it is one of the cheapest boards with 8 sata ports. I went for 2 extra, because usually the last 2 end up eating away from PCIe lanes.
That being said, I think a board with 6 ports could be enough. Seeing as there is only one GPU.
