New Computer Build

[Deleted]

Looking for a new computer as my old one died. My budget is max 1000$. Im open to building myself if cheaper as i did with my last computer

I also been looking around in my home country for prebuild pc where i found 2 gaming pc's which i think is a pretty good deal.

1. This is 1040$ Prebuild
i5-6600K
Asus Z170-P
8GB DDR4-2666 Kingston HyperX Fury
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD
Asus GeForce GTX960 STRIX 4GB
Corsair VS550 550W
CoolerMaster Hyper TX3
High Definition ALC887 Audio Soundcard
Corsair Carbide SPEC-02 Midi Tower

2. This one is 893$ Prebuild
i5-6600 with Stock Cooler
Asus B150M-A
8GB DDR4-2666 Kingston HyperX Fury
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD
Asus GeForce GTX950 2GB
Corsair VS550 550W

Im looking for a computer which the most bang for the buck. The games that i want to play is WoW , CS GO and sometimes new games when something comes out. Example could be Fallout , Division and stuff like that.

The first build you linked seems rather ok.

Did some digging around and i see 2 options for you budget, without o/s since you didn't mention it somewhere.
Obviously you should try and find better deals on local shops.


1) first option, atx, overclock-able cpu/mobo with a gtx960.




2) Second, μatx, no overclock but managed to fit an R9 390.




Obviously the first with an R9 390 would have been awesome but you are looking at a budget around 8k. If you are looking to play AAA titles for long the 2nd build will be better imo.

Been looking around and after looking at your suggestions i came up with this. i found a 970 Strix with a free Kingston V300 SSD. Now with that being said i dont really know the difference between a R9 390 vs 970 Strix. I always had pc's with gtx cards. Now the totalt build below is 7642,00 and i would really like anyone suggestions to make it abit cheaper if possible?. I forgot to mention before that i already got a Samsung Evo 850 120GB + 2TB Storage from old pc.

Can't you adjust a few things? Like get the cpu cooler i had linked instead of the CM evo? The pure rock is better and its a bit shorter (155), the Evo (158mm) will most likely touch the window of corsair spec 03 (157mm max).

Ram, either 2133-2400-2666 won't make much difference. So if you are going to pay +100kr over a 2133Mhz then its not worth it.

Gpu the R9 390 is a better card than the gtx970. The free ssd is tempting ofc but its not one of the good ones, but still its free. However i have found a much cheaper gtx 970 here for 300kr less. Likewise the R9 390 here is also cheaper

Psu as said both the xfx i had and the antec are better. Get the saved money from ram and gpu and get a better psu and if there is still spare money a better case. If you end up with R9 390 you will need a good 620-650w where with the gtx970 a good 550w is enough.

After some fast digging around i got a setup closer to your budget but much better overall from all above without storage drives:

I doubt that. At least the XFX does not support the C6/C7 powerstates and I am guessing the Antec doesn't either. I would stay with the Coolermaster.

Do you want to OC? Because if not, just drop the CPU down to a 6500 and the mobo to a B150 and that will save quite some money which would pay for the 390 and a good PSU.

Both are, actually all 3 i linked, antec hcg - xfx ts- xfx pro are haswell certified, dunno why you say otherwise, good look it up. That CM is not as good quality as those. You can also compare them if you check jonnyguru/techpower and whatnot and see why yourself.

If you look at my build above he can get a 6600k/Z170+R9 390 so i don't see the reason why go for less...

It is an older PSU, I assumed (wrongly) that it would not support those states.

Which is still a tiny bit above his budget of 7500.
And OCing the CPU will help in WoW, in other games a lot less. It just another option for the OP.
