Is this a good computer?

[MonkeBe]

Hey! Is this a good computer or do you think that there's something that i should change?

Total price: 9886 SEK/1366 USD

The currency is in SEK, if you for some reason would like to know that.

 

EDIT: I am not going to get both a HHD and a SSD. I can't afford it. I have an external old HDD that i can store things on. I will probably only store games and the OS on the SSD, and i am pretty sure that won't be filling up more than 256 GB concidering that i have a 256GB HHD on my current, old, computer. I can barely fill up 200GB

 

EDIT 2: If you would recommend more than 450W, please explain the reason.

I would get a 650W powers supply instead. 

 

Get a 128GB SSD and a 1TB WD Blue dedicated drive instead

 

Get the Asus Z97-A or the MSI Z97 Gaming 3 motherboard instead of Z87

 

Also, what country and what site are you using?

You should throw in a couple titan z's. Everyong needs a titan Z. My mom has 5 in her computer.....no but I feel like that psu could be a better choice. Are the evga psu's available to you? Their entire lineup makes no sense, better than everyone else while being cheaper.

If used for gaming and normal tasks, Yes, it will be great. How much of that Corsair Vengance RAM are you getting? ( Most likely you wont need anything higher that 12 gigs. I would get a 128 gig ssd, and use the rest of your money on a larger hdd. I don't know much about motherboards, so I will leave that to someone else.

I guess the power supply could use a buff (around 550-650W) depending on the level of over clocking require. And yeah, add a hard drive games with cram a small SSD fast!

I am using prisjakt.se , It's a swedish website. (Sort of equivalent to pricerunner.co.uk )

 

Also, i have an external harddrive so i won't be using more than 256 GB on the actual computer. Also, i have a pretty tight budget, i can't go above the current price.

It's 4x2 GB RAM

Get a Z97 mobo.

Add an HDD, you will run out space on that SSD faster than you'd expect.

[mcmad358]

Get 2x4 for better support and faster speeds,

[FCesar99]

take it  its my build http://es.pcpartpicker.com/p/4ynYf7 (its a windforce card  not a evga)

[MonkeBe]

Sorry, i ment 2x4.

[flibberdipper]

Maybe something like a CS650M for a power supply?

 

Definitely a 120/128GB version of that SSD (can't remember which size it is for the 12x variant) and a 1TB Seagate Barracuda.

I personally wouldnt run that on a 450w, atleast a 550W or 650, They have good cheap ones from corsair and evga.

For what reason would you have more than 450w?

[mcmad358]

For what reason would you have more than 450w?

for more headroom, and room to expand

for more headroom, and room to expand

Okay, i think 450 will have to do for now though. I can't really afford more, and it's enough for the current system, even overclocked, (I've seen a graph with bf4 somewhere, about a week ago)

For future reference please use PCPartPicker.

 

I would get at least a 600W power supply, how much RAM is there? It doesn't say, for gaming 8 GBs should be fine. And I would get a z97-a, because from what I've heard, with haswell refresh chips, you have to flash the bios to get it to work on a Haswell board. They're almost the same price anyways.

That won't be good enough for over clocking

Consider the overclocking and gaming power consumption also. requires 88 watts at stock speeds, and OC, even more. 

 

 

I dont see why you are making such a big deal over this, just get atleast a  550W! You can get a good 550 for as low as 30-45 usd! It is better to be safe than sorry.

 

 

You made a post asking for opinions and you arent taking into consideration what anyone has to say!

I am taking it in consideration, but i really can't go above my current price, so if i would upgrade my power supply, it would mean i would have to lower the quality of something elese, and when i saw that all of you were recommended a better power supply i decided to make some more research over how much i actually need, and i've come to the conclusion that 450w is enough. If i have offended you in any way i am sorry, i really appriciate all of your opinions and most of your opinions have helped me. I also have upgraded asus z87-a to a asus z97-a. I really can't go above my current price, so therefore i've decided to stay on a 450w powersupply, even though it might barely overklock it. Thank you for all of your opinions.

[MonkeBe]

hey, if you'd like to ignore our advice and destroy your entire system because of a lackluster PSU, be our guest. We're just trying to help.

Did you even read what i just wrote...?

I did, and I affirm what I said. The power supply is the single largest point of failure in any computer system - if it malfunctions chances are good it'll fry a plethora of other incredibly expensive components along with it. 50 watts is headroom negligible enough to not even consider overclocking with your CPU, and if you can't afford a larger PSU (a 550W to 650W would only be a couple bucks more) then I'd advise cutting some other things unless you'd like to run your setup at stock. I don't know what else to say - you asked for suggestions and criticism and here it is.

 

I have listened, and I have made som changes the computer.

As i've said before, i have an external HDD, so i probably wont be needing any more storage on my computer. Is there anything i could improve?
