I'm in the process of buying a new computer right now and my friend who has infinitely more knowledge than me on the subject helped me draw a rough template of what I could look forward to in my price range of about 700 euro. I'm here because I'd like to hear others thoughts about this and possibly suggestions regarding cheaper/better parts.

Intel i5 series 2500k
3.3 ghz dual core ~220 dollar
GRAPHIC
ATI 6870 1 gb ~250 dollar
MOTHERBOARD
MSI P67A- GD53 ~130 dollar
RAM-MEMORY
4 GB no particular brand ~60 dollar
HARD DRIVE

1 terabyte memory ~60 dollar
POWER SUPPLY
Corsair TX750 750W ~150 dollar

Motherboard, CPU and GPU look good! The PSU is really overkill. TX650 V2 should be more than enough.
If you can afford a bit more, I'd get a 560Ti or a 6950 though!
Make sure you get quality RAM (Corsair or G.Skill). Getting a good case is also recommended. I don't really know a lot about cases in this price range, but HAF922 is a nice choice if it fits into your budget. Antec 900 is also good. Not the best you can find I think (never used one myself) but good enough.

For $250 you can get factory overclocked GTX560ti or Radeon6950, both better choices than R68series.

Trolling should be.

You want the TX750 V2, the TX750 is the old one.

I've limited the different parts to two webshops in Sweden and would like to
keep it that way, or shipping fees'll get out of hand. Kr is Swedish currency
and for Euro just divide by 10, what I'm after is mostly feedback on the
motherboard, Ram, DvD player and case, is everything compatible? Any
suggestions regarding other things appreciated as well but some of the
things like CPU, Graphic and power supply are good enough.

Don't get 4x1GB RAM dimms, get a 4GB DDR3 kit (2x2GB) so you have room for a future upgrade to 8GB. If I were you, I would dump the Blu Ray, get a simple DVD writer and get a 6950/560Ti with the extra money (as I said before, Corsair TX650 V2 is enough, so you could save some more).

This will not work, you need DDR3 RAM, like for example -> http://www.dustinhome.se/corsair-8gb...uct/5010485739 Originally Posted by Haibara

You should check out other parts from Komplett too, since they have really good selection compared to the stores you've checked so far.Never going to log into this garbage forum again as long as calling obvious troll obvious troll is the easiest way to get banned.
