So I'm getting a new pc. I'm not getting it in one piece but I'll start with PSU + MOBO+ CPU + RAM somewhere next month...

and GPU + Case a month later.

 

So now I have:

AMD Athlon II X2 245e

GA-78LMT-S2

GT 240 1GB DDR3

Kingston DDR3 1333Mhz memory

Samsung HD320KJ

WD15EARS

Samsung SH-224BB

Aerocool VS-9 Advance

2x Enermax Vegas Trio

2x no clue fans...

and 300w no clue PSU...

 

NOTE: I live in Latvia so prices are higher.... + 21% tax

Planning:

Intel core i5 4570 - 240$

Gigabyte GA-H87-D3h - 120$

Be Quiet Pure power L8 630W - 120$

Gigabyte GTX 660 - 250$

Thermaltake Chaser A31 - 100$

Corsair Low profile vengeance 8GB 1600 Mhz - 65$

Zalman CNPS14x - 45$

2xEnermax Vegas Trio - have

Sleeving + tools - ~30$

Case fans - ??? Suggest

 

Total for now - 970$

Budget - 1000$

 

I hope that LGA 1150 prices will drop soon so I could save one mobo and maybe on CPU. 

GPU - If GTX 760 will be close to GTX 660 price, I will take it...

Corsair SP120, Silverstone AP121 or Gelid Wings for case fans.

Also I would recommend waiting a bit because the 760 is coming, here are leaked info.

Noctua fans are overall great, and really quiet. Also Linus' recommends them, so that's kind of an verification.

I would take noctua fans if they wouldn't be so ugly(just my opinion) beQuiet fans are expensive, I can't really get ap121 so ill take corsair fans. Anything else?
