My machine looks like this

  • AMD 10 6800K 4.10GHZ BOX SOCET FM2
  • ASUS A88XM-A RETAIL SOCKET FM2+
  • G.SKILL F3-1333C9D-8GNS 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-10666 1333MHZ NS DUAL CHANNEL KIT DDR-3
  • XFX AMD RADEON R9 280X R9-280X-TDFD DOUBLE DISSIPATION 3GB DDR5 PCI-E RETAIL
  • SAMSUNG MZ-7TE120BW 840 EVO SERIES SSD 120GB 2.5" SATA3
  • WESTERN DIGITAL WD5000AAKX 500GB CAVIAR BLUE SATA3

junk the APU and mobo altogether

 

you say 1200 euro max

 

you can easily get a Intel 4690K and Z97 board

 

find the CoolerMaster 212 Evo/Plus

 

avoid XFX GPUs and pick other brands like MSI,Gigabyte,Sapphire or PowerColor

 

pick the EVGA G2 PSU

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

US pricing and Euro pricing are way different

 

certain parts may not be available in euro location

 

 

there is de.pcpartpicker site

 

just change it on the top right corner

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

Here you go. the mobo is a bit expensive for the build but it's the only one that I could find to fit the color scheme. :)

What's the computer for and what's the budget?

Follow the topics you create using the "Follow" button in the top right corner!

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!

  • SAMSUNG MZ-7TE120BW 840 EVO SERIES SSD 120GB 2.5" SATA3
  • WESTERN DIGITAL WD5000AAKX 500GB CAVIAR BLUE SATA3

These parts are around 620euro my budget can reach 1200euro max.   

 

If you indicate where you are shopping people should be able to post better builds based on local pricing & availability.

 

There are a number of issues with the part list posted.

  • I one is using an add-on gpu, an APU is not the best use of resources. An FX or I5 would be better.
  • The memory is not optimal. DDR-1600 CAS 9 is likely very close in price and has much better performanc.
  • Check the pricing on 1TB WD Blue and Seagate Barracuda. Likely very close in price or possibly cheaper than the 500GB.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
