So I made a thread before, but that was about asking advice for a prebuilt PC. All the replies made me rethink my choise and I decided to go build my own, for once. But! This is where you all come in.. I have no idea what fits well together and what not.
I've already recieved some helpful replies, but 'The more, the merrier'.
So, let's start off with my checklist of things I should list here:
Budget: It's probably the most vital thing about building one, and I want to have enough cash to spend on it and yet not overdo it.. So I went for the budget of €2000,-
Resolution: The usual 1920 x 1080
Games/Settings Desired: So the games I often play are: SWTOR, Rift, GW2, WoW, Dishonored, BF3 and all a whole lot more. I'd like to run the newest game as high as possible. If my MMO's can run at the highest settings, I am already pleased. I spend most of my time with those anyway.
Any other intensive software or special things you do: Ah, yes I often find myself 3D modeling. I use Zbrush and 3DS Max.
Country: I'm a residential from The Netherlands.
Parts that can be reused: I will be starting all the way from scratch
So now I got that covered, I will list the things I already found myself and some are given to me.
- What I have so far -
Case: Coolermaster HAF 922 - € 89,50
Motherboard and Processor: Upgrade Kit GigaByte GA-Z77X-D3H/i5-3570K/8GB Corsair Vengeance - € 369,-
HDD: Western Digital Black 2TB 7200rpm 64MB SATA3 - € 149,95
DVD-reader: LG GH24NS90 (not very vital to list I think, but doing anyway) - € 22,95
Graphics Card: PCI Express GeForce GTX 670 2GB Msi - € 379,95
RAM: GB DDR3-1600 / PC3-12800 KIT Kingston HyperX (2 modules) - € 64,95
Power Module: Corsair 1000 Watt 24 pinns CMPSU-1000HXEU Modular - € 164,95
Total: €1241,25
So I am not near my budget yet. Which is good, I asume. For both reasons, and mainly that is something needs to be added it could be easily done and fit the budget.
Is this decent? Can I reach my goal with this setup? What else should've been changed?
