First PC build control

[-Veteran007-]

I checked 3 times for a 1TB hybrid and still missed it  :angry: . But good you found it. But first things first. Don't care too much for the write/read speeds that are listed, they are just of benchmarks that are far away from the actual use. The 64GB SSD will be slower than the 128GB, but it will still be much faster than the HDD, because the HDD gets really slow if it has to collect data from different places of the disk, the SSD doesn't have this problem. There's even more to that but let's not go too deep into this, especially because I'm not an HDD/SSD expert. 

The 1TB hybrid and the HDD+SSD combination are both great value. The HDD+SSD is faster, but more expensive. I personally would buy the hybrid drive, because it has the advantage that you don't have to organise your storage so much. With the HDD + SSD you always have to look out to put all your data on the HDD etc.

At least you have to decide if you go through a bit more troube setting up your pc (not really that much though) and invest a bit more money, but get a faster OS because of the SSD. Or you want to keep it a bit more simple and cheaper then go with the hybrid drive.

I chose the SSD + HDD, I am not worried about sharing the programs between them and I just want the OS to be fast and some other programs also.

If I were to buy the OS from g2a, what should be the thing to put the saved money into?

The build I finally got together is:

CPU: i5-4460 159,9€

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H97M-D3H 75,52€

RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2x4GB) 64,9€

SSD: Adata Premier Pro SP900 64GB 47,76€

HDD: Seagate 1TB 51,5€

GPU: Gigabyte GTX 760 Windforce X2 212,12€

Case: Corsair Carbide Spec-01 43,08€

PSU: Corsair CX500 51,78€

OS: Microsoft Windows 8.1 64bit 87€

Monitor: BenQ GL2250M 96,61€

If you go with the key from g2a get this MSI GTX 770 (http://arvutitark.ee/est/TOOTEKATALOOG/ARVUTIKOMPONENDID-Graafikakaardid-VGA-Nvidia-GeForce-GeForce-700-Series/MSI-GeForce-GTX-770-TWIN-FORZR-IV-2GB-GDDR5-OC-N770-TF-2GD5-OC-45895) instead of the GTX 760. You would be slightly over budget (a total of about 904€ I think), if that is a problem get the ZOTAC GTX 770. I would rather get the MSI GTX 770 though due to its better cooling and the factory overclock.

I greatly appreciate your help, thank you very much. Now I can start ordering these parts.

No No NO NO NO! This is not legal! These are MDN keys, they expire and districution of them is illegal.
