So I currently own an old laptop (Some 5~7 years old, dual-core+ GeForce G105M or something) that was lent to me to replace my old Pentium IV desktop.
Looking for a mid-high-ish budget desktop that will last me for a while (at least 2 years, ideally 4+ years) - not exactly asking for it to still run games in ultra after 2 years, just that it *can* still run new games (even if on minimum) after 2~4 years.
Looking to buy it from a local store that will put it together and ship it for free, unfortunately not really very available on spending more, just looking for opinions overall:
CPU: Intel Core i5-6600 3.3GHz (249,90€)
MB: MSI H110M PRO-VH (65,01€)
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4-2133MHz 8GB (54,89€)
SSD: Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB (59,90€)
HDD: Western Digital Blue 1TB (59,00€)
PSU: XFX TS 550W 80Plus Bronze (64,89€)
Case: Cooler Master Silencio 352 (64,90€)
Total: 618,49€ (About 664,12 US$ at current rate)
Already have a monitor and pheripherals.
Won't buy a GPU yet. 1~2 months later I'll buy one, probably a GeForce GTX 960 (possible I'll upgrade it later on if I feel the need). Will use the 6600's graphics until then (figure it will be significantly better than my laptop's GPU either way, think I'll survive for a while with it).
And when/if I feel the need for it, I'll get another 8GB RAM stick.
Will probably get a TP-Link Wireless N 150Mbps PCI-e card (14,90€) for internet connection for now. Will look into PowerLine later - I'm not too sure if it will work properly since I'm currently in a pretty old house with some DYI electrical wiring + it's technically 2 old houses merged together and the router is on the other one.
Thought of going for a i5-6600k, but since I don't really intend to overclock it I don't believe the price difference is worth it. i7s are too expensive for me atm.
Main purpose/most demanding activity will be gaming for sure.
