Hi!
so next week is my birthday and I have saved about 2,000€ (about 2,239 USD, 2,911 CAD) for a complete new System.
I'll have a pcpartpicker list at the end linked for you guys to adjust to your local prices/ best offer.
Currently I am running my Lenovo T440p which is okay for work but it sucks at gaming and it takes a lot of time to build my android apps since it runs on an i5-4300M.
So I am aiming for a nice machine which allows me to do my Android-App builds fast, has enough punch to run emulators, virtual machines since I like to fool around with Linux Systems and has the power to run games at 1440p.
There will be two OS installed: ArchLinux for work and Win10 for fun.
I really don't want a system which blinks/lights up and stuff - therefore the Fractal R5 w/o window! - it should be as silent as possible and should serve me a couple of years
For now I chose these components:
(prices are from amazon.de/geizhals.at which is an austrian/german price comparison site)
processor: i7-6700k 340 €
cooler: noctua nh-d15 89 € (I am a simple austrian, i see austrian products, i buy them )
motherboard: asus z170-A 150€
memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB DDR4-3000, CL15-17-17-35) 86 €
case: Fractal Design R5 black 99€
ssd: samsung EVO 850 500 Gb 150 € (might be split into two one for my Arch Linux Installation and one for Windows 10)
hdd: WD Green 3TB 105 €
and now the two parts which i can't get my head around:
psu: Corsair RMx 650W ~110€ (enough???) the RMx 750W would only cost 10€ more (according to this calulator my machine with some future upgrades draws 457W)
additional info: i have some phones running on a powered usb hub, the occasional external 2.5'' external HDD for backups, 1-4 xbox 360 controllers, a mouse and my trusty cherry board mx 3.0 (browns) ot: man I love this keyboard
graphics card: EVGA GTX 1070 SC /FTW ??? or the THE MSI Gaming X GTX 1070 ??? (a 2nd monitor should be ok in the future?)
this should be around 1,580€ (about 1,769 USD, 2,299 CAD) - I still need a new monitor, mine is 10+ years old!
LIST: PcPartPickerList
comments on all parts but especially help with the psu and graphics card is much appreciated, as well where I could save a couple of €.
A recommendation for a nice IPS 144Hz 1440p Monitor would be great but I guess it's OT here.
Thank you guys in advance, greetings from the alps of Austria, and the obligatory "sry for my bad English"
