Go to solution Solved by Real_PhillBert,

Also he'll no to windows 8.1 he already has an 8.1 laptop and he hates it. I don't want to insert an SSD yet. He doesn't play games that need that, he is really making 5his build to have it look nice. He mostly plays GM. Also Asus Cards are just not my thing or his. He liked the MSI and I have one myself so I am confident with that. I just was making sure that case was OK but I guess I need a different case... darn

 

I think I changed everything to suit your preferences.

I used the Define R4 because I think it looks great, another excellent option to look at is the NZXT H440. The NZXT also has a great reputation around here.
 
I do wonder why you do not wish to integrate an SSD? They will increase performance a fair bit and fit into your budget.

Its a good idea to get an aftermarket CPU cooler. What is your main use? Gaming?

 

Edit: *Derp* I skipped right over your bit about a H100i. My bad.

Hez guzy I would add an SSD but since we are in Poland this is the max. Main use for the guz is gaming. He doesnt know a ton about computers but he wants a good gaming PC that will run games well. Do zou see any mistakes

 

First: Welcome to the Forum!

 

Second: The MSI Z87-G45 is an ATX board, and will not fit in to the 350D as it is mATX.

PC PartPicker gives weird prices and I t doesn't well reflect the parts. I was making sure with the case. THe guy decided to go with the Corsair C70 over the R4. NZXT ia again hard to find in Poland, I was looking fior it but failed to find it. I am not going with an SSD since we can add it later anyway and the games he play are Garry's Mod and games like that. He dfoesn't need that much more speed. I talked it over with him bu he doesn't plan on playing other games. I did ask him what the poibnt of a 4000Zł PC is he just told me he wanted a better PC than mine :P
