Hi guys!
I have just joined and have been reading some guides and such (while listening to videos in the background :D), and have compiled a part list that I am somewhat happy with, and more importantly, have the option to buy! I had someone help me with a list, but it was just not available for shipping over here...
Shortly:
I live in Israel, and will be buying my parts *Mostly* on Amazon US, since the prices here are just ridiculous.
I am directing this build towards a gaming setup, while also using it as a work station and perhaps video editing in the future. But mostly gaming. RN I play games like Minecraft, since my craptop cannot do much more, however with the new PC I want to play graphics and cpu heavy games, stuff like FPS shooters, Evolve, RPG's etc' - I want to try a wide range of games, since I have never been able to before.
My budget is around $1500 not including the import tax - and I might be able to go a bit over budget.
Oh, and no peripherals needed! For now, at least ">> I'll be buying those separately in the future, after the PC is built.
I decided to upgrade since I really want to play games properly, and just have a beast PC for once in my life since I never really had a good PC. (Well, I did, kinda... Never ran anything heavy on it, nor did my brother.. ^^")
I also really want to build my own PC, and learn about all that, since I am planning to make tech my career, in one way or another.
My list so far os as follows:
I am debating between the two SSD's I added, and the RAM's.. Not quite sure which is better
I know I don't need 64gb wam, I will hardly ever need 16, but ya know ">>
As for the liquid cooling - I live in Israel (Which I possibly failed to mention previously), and it gets pretty damn hot here. Moreover, I might have my PC stand inside a cupboard kinda thing (I think I forgot the proper word) to make sure my cat does not destroy it, or anyone else who cares to touch it, so ambient temperature will be a big deal for me.....
I like this cooler since it fits the theme, and has the coolant visible *~* I have no clue how to choose a cpu cooler - haven't learned enough about that yet, so any suggestions are welcome.
I wanted the 360 version of it, but it seems like it won't fit into my case of choice... Although it might not be my final choice, I am debating between a few...
So yah, this was a very, very long post... Hopefully it wasn't too much ^^"
Any help will be happily welcomed!
