Hello forum!
New here, nice to meet you =) Straight to the point: Finally I decided to build my (first) own configuration. After some research I boiled it down to: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/W2MqLk
Buying from local stores results to ~$1500. I have a monitor and a 500GB WD Black. 1. Budget & Location
My budget is $1000 - $1500. My location is Bulgaria. The prices are generally 10-15% higher then the suggested in pcpartpicker. 2. Aim
My aim is to get near constant 60 fps with little as possible fps spikes on 1080p for games with high/ultra settings (Currently I play SC2. But I would love to try some of the newer titles as well old school ones that I didn't have the config to run on). Also I plan to have some CPU intensive tasks - running some AI, compiling stuff, etc.
3. Monitors
For the purpose of the system I bought http://pcpartpicker.com/part/benq-monitor-rl2460ht running 1920x1080. There is possibility to get additional monitor down the road - either same as this one or some 27 inch IPS. 4. Peripherals
Since I'm a student I have free Windows, but it is important to be able to run a linux. I usually go for Arch linux.
5. Why are you upgrading?
I'm not really upgrading since I don't have a configuration - I'm using a macbook from work, which is nice to code, read & watch stuff but it really heats running SC2 on mid-settings.
I plan to overclock if I need to.
I know that 750W power supply is a bit of an overkill, but it is the same price as a Corsair RM650x and I get some room for extending and upgrading.
So the questions are:
Is everything compatible?
Are there parts that are overkill for the rest of the configuration or my goals?
Should I get DDR4 3200MHz, Corsair Vengeance instead of the 2133 - as far I'm aware of higher DDR4 speeds really don't give huge performance gain. The difference is $20, so I'm not quite sure.
If I overclock (I've never done it before) should I consider liquid cooling?
Should I wait the new GTX 1070,1080?
All feedback is welcome (especially constructive one
Thanks in advance
