Hi, 

 

What you guys think of the build? I know I could have gone for a bigger SSD and maybe entirely leave out the HDD, but pricing wise at the time of the purchase, it made sense and with a few games only. I think I will be fine with it. Overall the build with the two monitors, keyboard, mouse, mouse pad, headset and every cable to the system, the controller + shipping was 1,150 USD. Consider it that I am from Hungary so most of the parts were purchased from a local retailer. This build in other countries could have been build for less I guess, but these are the prices were I live. Also everything is brand new. I am too new to the game to buy used parts. Maybe later when I will have more experience and can check out better used hardver and of course right now I have warranty on everything.

You could have gotten 1600AF for cheaper.

Yeah, it's like not even 20bucks cheaper here. With shipping rates, it was better to buy everything locally. And the 5 2600 still performs a little better. Maybe a just a couple of fps and ms, but still. Not a big difference in price. It's 18 USD at the moment at the store where I purchased the 2600.

I was looking at that cpu before I ordered the parts, but it was never on sale. The 2600 was and still is that's why it's that close pricing wise.

looks nice! at first i thought that case wouldnt look the best, but the pictures look amazing! Did you manage to get a deal on the strix card? Also the fans look great for an off brand set! Just out of curiosity, is the main monitor high refresh rate?

Thanks, it really looks good. First I was looking at the Thermaltake versa h17, but the airflow in that is worse. So I was like okay let's see this one and turned out to be so good. I am glad I ended up having this case. The cpu and the gpu were both on sale, not a huge deal either one of them, but still a sale is a sale. The gpu was 280$ it might not be a low price, but due to taxes and stuff electronics cost most here. On this market that's a fine price for that card. Yeah the fans are great, they make the case look awesome. The main monitor is 75 hz. 

 

Kind of an old article and not pc hardware, but just an example: https://budapesty.com/hungarys-iphone-x-price-highest-in-the-globe/  Hardware is so overpriced here due to taxes and the things also have to get shipped here. So yeah, not too easy to buy cheap electornics.

Yeah, also in Romania (sometimes). But I'm impressed that I will buy a Vega 64 from Hungary with only 270USD-300USD brand new! (wincity)

Yeah, that seems to be the pricing of that card over here.
