Hi there!

 

So i'm planning on doing my first build. I already picked out my parts, but i wanted to see if you guys had any advice or had any alternative build suggestions. I will be using this build to play games on, Single monitor 1080p, with frames as high as i can get them.

 

One thing though. The budget is around 800euro's, i won't go higher than 810.

 

Final note: I live in Belgium.

 

NO "If you can spare 50 than get this..." 

 

PARTS:

- Case: Fractal Design ARC MINI

- Motherboard: ASUS P8H67-M LE B3 Revision

- PSU: Corsair CX600 V2

- CPU: Intel core i5 - 3470

- GPU: XFX 7870 Double Dissipation Black Edition

- RAM: 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws

- HDD: WDBlue 1TB

 

Planning on adding an SSD later, don;t have the money for it right now :p

 

Thank in advance!

Looks good to me. Don't see what you could change that would improve it except an SSD and a HD7950 but like you said money.

A 500W powersupply would be plenty enough for that system, and you could use the saved money to get a z77-board, which would allow you a litte bit of OC (yes, even with a non-k cpu).

Good idea with the PSU, but he should try to fit an SSD as a boot drive if he can instead, even if it's only 60GB in capacity.

What store do you plan on buying from?

Well i live in belgium, so we don't have NCIX or Newegg or anything like that. I chose all my parts from mijnitshop.be except for the GPU. That was ordered from coolblue.

If you know a different store with better prices be sure to let me know :D

Get a 500w instead--See if you can't fit the cheapest 7950 you can find in your budget by getting a cheaper case?

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/

You'd want to start your own topic for this.

The system will easily run on a cx430.
