Hi guys,
I was looking forward to buying a new Mac(book), as my current Macbook Pro Ret is getting a bit worn out. But after the release of the new MacBooks I really am disliking the way Apple is pricing and configuring it's laptop line. Not to mention the lack of any updates or introduction of a new desktops.
So now after years of using Apple, I really want to try out using a (desktop) PC! Yeah, Windows 10, a bit of gaming yeah!
I'm wondering if someone has some sound suggestions for this first time builder, long time Apple user.
Kind off going for a BW build I guess (happened along the way). After a few weeks of research I have my shopping list down to the following:
NZXT S340 - White
Crucial MX300 - 275GB
Gigabyte GA-B150-HD3P
Intel Core i5-6500 - Boxed
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Corsair Vengeance LPX - DDR4-2666 - Black - 8GB
NZXT Hale82 V2 - 550W
Asus Radeon RX 480 - Dual OC - 4GB GDDR5 (white)
I picked the case, because of it's size. Easy enough to build in.
There are some HD's around here, so I'll be using those, or get a 1/2GB WD blue later.
The motherboard is ATX so enough expansion options for the future, I guess.
The Core i5 should give me enough computing power for some time.
Cooler Master Hyper just looks awesome, but it isn't white
Might get another Memory bank later.
Is 550W enough for a build like this, what if I put in 6 more HD's?
Videocards ... so hard to choose.
Will this give my PS4 a run for it's money?
