My first build

[Whiplash]

Hello from Sweden.

 

So im building my first PC and i would like to run this by you guys. Hope you can help me. My budget is around 7000 SEK. (1072,24 $)

 

What i need:

 

1: I need it to be fast doing normal tasks such as browsing the web. opening programs fast, running multiple programs. (been using a slow PC for the past 10 years )

2: Gaming (high end) BF4 or games similiar to that.

3: Some CAD from time to time.

4: Maybe some video editing, if i fell like it.

5: Normal musicproduction, (i have a external soundcard allready for my guitar)

 

Parts for new PC: (swedish site)

And remeber that i want to have room for: a better (single) GPU in the future. Overclock and a new CPU in the future. A SSD hardrive in the near future. And also overclock the GPU and Motherboard if i fell like it.

 

I fell like intel is the way to go also. And i dont want to upgrade to a 770 or go any higher in cost.

 

My questions.

 

Is the GPU from ASUS better than this from MSI?

Is the hardrive good enough? (quality)

Is the powersupply overkill? Also quality?

 

Thanks you very much for the help!

Everything seems to be good. If you really want things to be fast, get an SSD. I personally like the MSI card more.

Power supply is fine, you might want to go for as ssd?

[Wano97]

You really limit yourself to just aftermarket ASUS and MSI? Not like it makes that much of a difference though

an SSD would fit the picture better (referring to I need it to be fast doing normal tasks such as browsing the web. opening programs fast)

PSU's fine

I will buy a SSD shortly, when i get the money to buy the one from Samsung.

 

Thx

ok this is going to be hard because i cant navigate the site due to languages try and do something like this

cpu: fx-8320

cpu cooler: cooler master 212 evo

motherboard: gigabyte ga-990fx-ud3

ram: 8gb anything that looks nice

storage; 1tb hard drive and a ssd if you can afford it

gpu: gtx 770 or amd r9 280x

case: corsair 200r or cooler master n600

psu: corsair cx600m

 

quote me if you want me to get back to you

[Whiplash]

I can buy any brand of GPU. I dont know alot about the difference in brands. What do you guys recommend?

Hey,

I have seen that there is no real improvement to the 770 from the 760 for the price. I rather go with 780 ti if i had the money.

Btw, why did you pick the FX8320?. I dont think i need 8 cores plus it needs almost double the power compared to the intel i5. it will cost me in the long run.

 

This is is my build again.

boop

welp thats a first normally amd a cheaper solid option i guess then what you were thinking is fine

The Z87-K is not an SLI board; if you want to in the future add another 760/770, you won't be able to do it.

 

SSD is a must for at this price. You cannot overclock a motherboard unless you mean by BCLK which you probably shouldn't do because you'll already have a -K series CPU.

 

And what's up with the "XMS3 modules with Vengeance heatspreader"? Couldn't they have just sold XMS3 as XMS3 and Vengeance as Vengeance?  :huh:

I dont want to ad another gpu in the future. Is the memory bad?, what do you recomened

[Guest]

i dunno, it just sounds suspicious. XMS3 and Vengeance are both good
