Need help with 1000€ gaming PC

Hundiseadus · May 4, 2014

HI,

I'm planning on building a new gaming PC. Been a laptop user until now and decided to change. It will be my first build so I need help with choosing the parts.

Budget is around €1000.

Location: Estonia (Eastern Europe).

It will be mainly a gaming PC.

Might want to get into overclocking down the line.

Need a new OS.

Got keyboard, mouse and monitor covered.

I mostly play MMO's and FPS. Currently DayZ, Guild Wars 2 and EVE.

I'd like the PC to be able to run modern titles at 1080p with decent FPS.

Thanks in advnace!

what would you prefer amd or intel?

with amd you are able to get more bang for the buck:

Two questions:

Isnt a 500W PSU a bit too small for this build?

Does the CPU come with a stock cooling that I could use at first and then change later on ?

no a 500w psu is enough @stock clock the system will use 385 Watts and with the cpu overclocked to 4.44 GHz it will need 425 Watts according to http://www.extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine. with this psu it isnt possible to upgrade another graphics card but you arent so close to the limit either.

yes their is a stock cooling unit but if you re planning to use it, your cpu will run hot and your system will be loud.
