New PC

[Danie0408]

Helllooo

 

I want to build my own PC, I've never built one before, so don't be too harsh on me XP

 

BUDGET/LOCATION:

I think I'm going to spend about €1000 on the hardware, I live in the Netherlands btw.

 

AIM:

I want to play games like GTA V and Just Cause 3 on it, my old alienware x51 can't handle jc3

Best would be, if it would run these games on ultra settings or very high but I don't know what you can get for €1000.

 

MONITORS:

Right now I've got a old square monitor, but I want to upgrade to a new HD, maybe UHD, Monitor. Then I want to keep this old monitor as a secondary monitor.

 

PERIPHERALS:

I've already got G502 for the mouse and G430 as my headset.

But as I said, I might wanna upgrade to a newer better monitor voor an extra €200 or so.

 

I already have a harddrive from my old pc, with Windows 8(I can't upgrade it to win10 so that might be a thing) But cabn I use this Harddrive in my new pc so that I don't have to buy Windows? 

If I want windows 10 though, I think I've gotta buy a new windows because it currently won't upgrade, it crashes everytime...

 

WHY AM I UPGRADING:

I'm upgrading because my current pc, Alienware x51(with gtx 645) can't handle jc3 and sometimes stutters with gta v. I also would really like to play these games on high settings.

 

 

I already made something myself(what do you think, any tips?):

 

CPU: Intel i5 6600

GPU: MSI GeForce GTX960 4GB

Case: NZXT Noctis 450

SSD: Samsung EVO 250GB (For booting up windows and for games)

Motherboard: MSI Z170A Gaming pro

RAM: HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4-2133

PSU: Corsair CX430M

Wi-Fi: TP-LINK TL-WDN4800

HDD: As I said, I already have a HDD of 1 TB with Windows 8(which won't upgrade)

 

Thanks in advance for taking your time

Have a great day

R9 380 gives little bit more performance than that 960. Do you need something like Shadow Play? And not that CX psu. Also you don't need a Z motherboard if your cpu doesn't have a K in it's name

If you want smooth gameplay you may need to upgrade to gtx 970   btw i5 6600 is too much for 960

Something like this?

So i might need to upgrade the gtx 960 to a 970

And if i don't i need to downgrade to another cpu?
