Custom PC

[sprudeldude]

I was making a configuration for my PC.
I was thinking that you guys could give your commentary if i could maybe buy other components or something like that.

The configuration will cost € 1320 and i'm not planning to raise the budget, but if you guys give me tips for other components that are even cheaper and better, it would be really helpfull !
Also, should i wait for new releases for some components ?
 

 

Configuration:

 

RAM: Kingston HyperX 16 GB DDR3 1600 Kit

 

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-H97-HD3

 

CPU: Intel® Core™ i74790 3,6 GHz (4,0 GHz Turbo Boost)

 

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX970 FTW ACX 2.0

 

Supply: Corsair RM650

 

SSD: Samsung 850 EVO, 250 GB

 

HDD: Western Digital Green, 2 TB

 

Case: Sharkoon VG4-W Blue

What is the use of the pc ?

Do you already have a monitor and other ?

 

The only things I would change and keep the same budget would be to get a R9 390.

 

If you want to lower your overall price, you can drop down to a i5 and 8gb ram.

 

All in all, I would keep the pc and swap the 970 for a 390

What would you be using the computer for?

 

Gaming? streaming? professional works?

 

Need an OS?

 

Need a keyboard/mouse/monitor?

I would use the pc for rendering, gaming,...

I chose for nvidia because several of people said that AMD gets hotter en the power usage is also higher than Nvidia.

Well, they do tend to run slightly higher power consumption, but the cards run hotter, and have better coolers. Most times the difference in temperature is very menial. really it should be down to what preforms better in your budget.

 

I've no time personally to compile a list of components, but perhaps someone else here will be willing to help you out.

Looks fine for the usage you are planning on if you ask me, just to be sure you aren't planning on overclocking the CPU as that won't be possible with this build. Only thing I would change is the HDD to a WD blue instead of the WD green you chose, the blue one is a bit more reliable over it's lifetime and a bit faster for almost the same price.

The power usage is a tiny difference in terms of costs,

and heat should only be an issue in very small cases.

 

Get the better performing/cheaper one.

To be honest If I were you I would wait till the 6000 series intel products come out or go with a

LGA2011-3
