Gaming PC under 1500

[Flyside]

Hey guys!

 

I am looking to upgrade to a new PC system, and I wanted to ask you what components I should choose. I made a lot of research and thought of possible systems, but there are simply too many optiions and so I would apreciate some advises from you. I hope you can create a nice system and post links to the parts below. I also don't have any specific direction, e.g. X99, liquid cooled, whatsoever - it just needs to be the best possible system under 1500$.

 

I've a lot of experience in building PCs, but times got harder and community advises are a great way to get good independent recommendations.

 

Thank you in advance,

Martin

first off, there is no "best system"

it all depends on what you're going to be doing.

 

that brings us to the question on everyone's mind:

 

what will the system be used for?

 

EDIT: post budget in your local currency, as prices will differ from place to place either way.

Do you need a OS? Monitor? Mouse and keyboard?

What currency does Austria use ? Also what are you going to do with this system games? Create content? Edit?

[Flyside]

I am going to use it mostly for gaming, like GTA 5 and many AAA titles like AC and so on, but I also want to do a bit of content creation, as I'm producing games as a hobby.

And to the topic currency: I noticed that your price in $ is about the same in €, so a 350$ gpu will cost 350€ in Austria

Nice color coordinated build. Checks all the cool things. Pretty overkill for 1080p but whatever.

[Flyside]

yeah looks pretty nice, I think this easily can handle everything on my 1440p monitor, thank you

so your budget is 1500 euros? do you need a monitor, os, etc?

[BigDay]

you can even get a 2tb hybrid sshd instead. those are fast

[Flyside]

I could even change the i5 to an i7 4790k, still in my price range, but the Zotac 980 pulls up to 470w! Perhaps I should change it to something like a 980 G1 from Gigabyte, I mean there's only about a 4% difference in terms of performance and bang/buck is much better.

[BigDay]

i would actually get a seasonic psu. forgot to include that. also, i changed the single ram to double.
