A Gaming/Working build

[necrowp8]

I am an mechanical enginner student, on my last year, and i was planning to build a pc for gaming, cad work and general use.

i already selected the components and i wanted a opinion on them, how to best use them.

i have a budget of 1500€ tops, but if it was below that even better.

Case:

Corsair carbide 400R

Power Source:

Corsair Pro AX750W

http://www.pcdiga.com/2/2511/Fonte-Corsair-Pro-AX750W-CMPSU-750AXEU?marca=221

Cooler:

Corsair H80i

Grafic Card:

EVGA GTX 680 SC 2GB

http://www.pcdiga.com/2/7942/Grafica-EVGA-GTX680-SC-2048MB-02G-P4-2682-KR

Motherboard:

AsRock Z77 EXTREME6

http://www.pcdiga.com/2/7801/Motherboard-Asrock-EXTREME6-90-MXGJK0-A0UAYZ-

RAM:

Corsair Vengence 2x4GB 1600MHz

http://www.pcdiga.com/2/2598/Corsair-Vengeance-DDR3-1600MHz-2x4GB-CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9

Processor:

Intel i7 3770K

http://www.pcdiga.com/2/7870/Intel-Core-i7-3770K-3-5GHz-8MB-Sk1155-BX80637I73770K

Hard Drive:

Seagate Barracuda 2TB

http://www.pcdiga.com/2/6312/Disco-Seagate-Barracuda-2TB-SATA-III-64MB-ST2000DM001

And i already have an SSD, agility 3 so i won't be needing that.

Sorry for any mistakes, since i'm not a native english speaker.

Thank You

How intensive will the CAD work be on here?

My only point of change would be the PSU - a 600w would be fine.

Since the diference between the 650 and 750 is 10€, i thinks is a good investment for the future

If you're intent on using CAD or professional applications, consider getting a Quadro card, since it's designed for that kind of usage instead of a gaming card.

looks great! Only thing i would change would be going with a different videocard manufacturer im not a huge fan of evga and depending on cad demands 16gb of ram could help

the problem is that i also want to game, and quadro will put me off budget

Different aesthetics and cooling design. Can't remember off the top of my head but there may also be a slightly different clock rate

Since one is 670 and the other is 680 i thought there were some difference.

the difference between the two is 10€, so anyone is within budget

Sorry - I was thinking X 670 vs Y 670 - ill get back to you when I'm not on my phone about their differences

For CAD work you might want to go with 16GB of RAM it really wouldn't cost that much more. Other than that it looks great.

Alright fair enough, but just make sure you have your priorities figured out one way or another, since unless you get two cards (one gaming one workstation) you'll be compromising on something.

Get an XFX PSU http://www.pcdiga.com/2/8057/Fonte-XFX-750W-Black-Edition-P1-750B-NLG9?marca=6259

as an AX750 is not worth $200

and get an MSI G45 http://www.pcdiga.com/2/7701/Motherboard-MSI-Sk1155-Z77A-G45?marca=283

as an Asrock mobo is not worth $230

and dont get the 680 ($600?!?!?!??!) get something like a http://www.pcdiga.com/2/9727/Grafica-MSI-HD7950-TwinFrozr-OC-BE-3GB-R7950-TF-3GD5-OC-BE or a http://www.pcdiga.com/2/9738/Grafica-XFX-R7970-1000M-Black-ED-3GB-DDR5-FX-797A-TDBC

I seriously wouldn't recommend the G45 since he's planning on overclocking. That board only has 4 phases and uses low-quality DPAK MOSFETs, which would really limit him from adding voltage. I would at least recommend a GD55 or a D3H.
