Hello everyone,
as a former Playstaytion Gamer I want to build my first PC, but my money and knowledge is limited. (as an engineering student I currently work at 450€ a month)
Next thing is I don't even have peripherals yet so I'm open for every option. 1080p gaming with mid to high settings is enough for me (at the moment!).
This Rig is not thought to be top of the line I want to use it mostly to play racing simulators with a steering wheel, first on one screen later maybe on three so a bit upgradeability should be given.
And I don't want to buy new parts every year so I hope this is enough for a decent PC.
Behind every product I'll tell you my thougts so you understand why i chose those products.
I have absolutely no idea how to choose a motherboard so I hope you can help me with this. Please explain me why you changed some parts (I want to learn something)
Price between 450 to 650€ please note i need peripherals too
BTW I'm open to older Products and used ones as well
CPU: Intel Core i5-6500 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($189.99 @ SuperBiiz) Linus told me this one is enough for gaming
CPU Cooler: CRYORIG M9i 48.4 CFM CPU Cooler ($19.99 @ Newegg Marketplace) Had good recommendations
Memory: Avexir Core Series 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory ($46.97 @ Jet) only one Stick to upgrade in the future (if 4 GB is enough tell me)
Storage: PNY CS1311 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($64.99 @ Jet) ssd is a must have for every new pc 128gb would be ok too but the pricing was not much different
Storage: Toshiba 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($67.88 @ OutletPC) at least 1TB but for 20€ more i got 2 so I got that going which is nice (1tb would be ok too)
Video Card: Zotac GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB OC Edition Video Card ($149.99 @ SuperBiiz) a good gpu I think
Case: NZXT S340 (Black/Blue) ATX Mid Tower Case ($66.99 @ SuperBiiz) looks cool in my opinion (case should have a window)
Power Supply: EVGA 450W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($38.49 @ SuperBiiz) psu from a good brand and 450W should be more than enough
Total: $645.29
Thanks in advance
Felix
