tips for my new rig

[Hepheh]

Hello everyone!

Im new to the forums and was hoping to get some tips for my new rig.

This will be my first build so im not sure wether I have chosen all the parts right.

Heres a list of all the parts:

MSI n780 tf 3GD5/OC

MSI z87-g45 gaming

Intel i5 4670k

Seasonic s12g-650

Corsair hydro h60 cpu cooler

Cm storm scout 2 advanced

Samsung evo basic 120gb ssd

Corsair vengeance 8gb dual channel

Seagate barracuda 1tb hdd

If you have any tips on how to improve this or if there is anything incompatible, please tell me.

It would mean alot to get some support!

[MegaDave91]

Compatibility wise, everything looks good. 

 

Welcome to the forums as well.

Can we have a PCpartpicker.com list of the parts? Would help out a lot. Also we need your budget, location, and usage.

[Stefano]

The H60 ain't all that good... I've got one. My Prolimatech I had before was better.

[Shd0w2]

Are you going to be overclocking?

[Hepheh]

Ill have to compose that list, and will do i mostly use sites from my country, so i dont have it right now. Budget is around 1200 for the machine so ill have some money left for the monitor, keyboard, etc

I might be overclocking in the future, but d want to go crazy as im pretty new to all of this..

Iw mostly be using this for gaming, also some photo and video editing but nothing serious

[Shd0w2]

1200? what currency? what country btw?

[Hepheh]

The netherlands, that will be 1200 euros, around 1450 dollars

You don't have any peripherals listed in the OP. What peripherals do you need? Are they included the 1200 euro budget?

Move the rear fan to the front for intake. 

Use the Arctic F12 for rear exhaust.

Cool, theres just a few things i hadnt mentioned yet. My parents are divorced so I switch between the houses alot, thats why I chose that particular case with the handle. Also i heard a cpu watercooler is less likely to break when being moved than an air cooler. Also, im more of a nvidia guy and i love MSI from what ive read and played on.. This will be my first build but i did own several laptops which made me dislike amd =(, now i know laptops =/= desktops but it did make me somewhat carefull whenever i encounter amd products.

 

Maybe you could do another list? that would be awesome!

Keep up the great work helping out other people! Can I recommend/flag you for being really helpful somewhere on the website?

Go ahead and get the Scout 2 if you'd like. The 212 Evo isn't that heavy and would be fine for transportation. 

The 780 costs at least 35 euros more than the 280x and performs similarly. 

 

Why would I suggest a worse list?

You shouldnt!

 

I thought some parts had to be changed out because im going to move the system alot.

But if thats not the case, there is no reason to suggest another list

One more question before ill dive back into the linustechtips videos, how long will this system be good (multiplayer games med-high with 60fps) for?

1 year? 2 maybe? im soon going to college and I dont think ill be able to spend this much money on a pc again for the following years!

Again thanks for all your help, and is there anyway i could help you getting high up on the forums?

If you're content with playing with medium/high settings, you should be fine for 3+ years. You should still be able to push high/ultra for most games for 2 years or so.

Your thanks is already enough.  :lol:
