Maybe I missed something, but are these two builds almost completely identical besides brands and one processor being 0.00001% better than the other?  :huh:

they both will do great but I'm guessing your budget is 1200 euro and your from germany so give me a minute to make a better build

The first one is decent but I'd take the second option!  The WINDFORCE card is much better!

I'm playing my Xbone on 3 LG Curved monitors-No one ever

Please, read CoC it helps, it helped me it should help you-Every competent member

Resident bad pun maker.....please excuse them

You can get a 2x4 for the same price maybe cheaper though.

i know i just chose the cheapest 8GB ram since ram is just ram he can easily change it to 2x4 but there really isn't any difference between 1x8 and 2x4 for gaming

Second build.

 

But I'd avoid Seagate drives like cancer.

 

I don't want you to lose any data.

 

Get WD Blue drives instead.

Intel Core i3 2100 @ 3.10GHz - Intel Stock Cooler - Zotac Geforce GT 610 2GB Synergy Edition

Intel DH61WW - Corsair® Value Select 4GBx1 DDR3 1600 MHz - Antec BP-300P PSU

WD Green 1TB - Seagate 2.5" HDD 1TB - Seagate Barracuda 500GB - Antec X1 E.

I've been using a Seagate 2TB NAS HDD (Apparently the best Seagate hard drives) and it's perfectly fine.

NAS drives are meant for 24/7 purpose.

 

The consumer grade drives are not really good. Prone to die sooner.

 

Some get lucky and get it running for few years.
