gaming pc - first build

[kung.lao]

Hello guys

 

I'm planning to build my first pc. I'm from Belgium and the system will be mainly used for gaming in 1080p. Next year I will also use it for my studies ( computer sciences) The budget is €1400-€1500. This what I currently have. What are thoughts?

I'm going to overclock, but I'm not going to push it to the limit. I'm not sure about the motherboard. Should I get a cheaper one and maybe go for watercooling? And for the case I can't choose between the nzxt h440 and the phanteks enthoo pro.

 

Thanks

No SSD? and why not the Hyper 212 Evo? What is the price of the Motherboard? It doesn't say it in the link.

Go for water cooling if you think you need it, and yes unless you want a load of features, you can bring that motherboard down and get an SSD instead. Id recommend this http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/PjBdcf

I forgot to tell that I already have a ssd. I've chosen the scythe mugen 4 because I can get it cheaper than the hyper 212 evo. I will check the enermax coolers too. I don't know about watercooling, I don't think I need it, I'm planning to go to 4.2 to 4.4 ghz. The price of the motherboard is €160, which is pretty high in my opinion and I don't think I need a ton of motherboard features. So the msi z97s krait edition might be a better choice.

Where do you plan to order your parts from?

Most of them from afuture.nl, as you're from the Netherlands you probably know the site. The cooler from a local store, it's in promotion, that's why it's cheaper than the 212 evo.

Belgium
Codima
Forcom Multimedia Hotshop <--- Sells lots of overclocking, cooling, and gaming-specific components
Info Occases <--- Kind of like a Radio Shack for Belgium, sells more accessories (ink, toner, wires, etc) with a few PC parts on the side
Tones.be
Bytes At Work <---- Geared toward gamers

 

This should help you find better prices. I think you can also get parts from certain Dutch sites, perhaps French too.

Aah, good choice, I'm also going to order for them when I have the money for my build and decided everything.

If you live in Belgium you can buy from Dutch, French, German and some English sites. The Dutch ones are mostly the cheapest, even cheaper than the Belgian sites. That's why I buy most of the stuff in the Netherlands.

I updated the pc-list. Added the ssd and changed the motherboard. I also changed the asus gtx 970 for the evga gtx 970, or should I keep the asus? Anyone knows some cheaper cases?
