first build

Square554 · August 21, 2014

Hello,

I want to build my own computer and I want to use it for gaming! I dont think that I will be able to max settings out but I would prefer a system that would last me at least 3 -4 years. I don't really have a budget but I dont have thousands to spend. I live in the Netherlands.

Here is what I came up with so far:

I still need a Case and a video card. I hope someone can adjust my build or give suggestions about the video card or case. Also if you know a better motherboard please tell me aswell!

I was thinking about a r9 270x or a nvidia card but I dont know much about this type of stuff. As I said before I cannot throw thousands at this system!\

Thanks for the help!

270x won't last more than a year or two. Something like an R9 290 would last 3-4 years however.

I don't have the money for that.

Also I picked the K cpu, but I don;t plan on overclocking yet, but I want to keep the option open for the future!

I added a case and GPU, what do you think of it? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vmT9wP

That gpu is far to expensive, I have max 250. However, I really like the case but I dont like the power button and usb ports on the top, do u know a similiar case with them on the front panel? That would be amazing!
