Hi forum, so first of all wanted to thank all the people that helped me in the past months with my questions with pc building, if a part was compatible or not.

Since 15th December I finished my build with what I had on hands, all left is installing operative system and getting a USB Pen Drive since Noctis 450 haves no CD/DVD Drive Bays, however none of my neighbours wanted to borrow me their computer to download however a friend of mine I met online couple months ago will get me the Operative System and a 2nd Hand monitor to replace my current 16 year old CRT 1024x768 screen so I guess im quite lucky and I appreciate his help.

Also all parts seem to be working 100% properly since BIO´s recognizes them all so thats good to know for once. ;P

So without further waiting here is the current setup I managed to buy thanks to my friend help and with what I saved.

Also I got a Logitech G502.

When I get back to my home I might swap the intel stock cooler for the Hyper 212 Evo.

Also bought 2x140mm Corsair SP Green LED Fans for top and 1x140mm Corsair AF White Led Fan for the rear.

Perhaps the most overkill computer case and setup for a g3250 but its temporary, while waiting to see what this year hardware offers.

Also the cable near the motherboard battery is worrying me a bit, I think I didnt install it properly so have to think of a way to fix that so I can install a GPU in the next 1-2 weeks.

Still not 100% sure which GTX 950 I should get if EVGA or MSI, reason being if I went with MSI one or EVGA one I want to get a custom backplate from http://www.v1tech.com/, however I know if later on future I want an AMD graphic card the custom backplate for MSI would be more worth due to size of Twin Frozer V model also the MSI GTX 950 is 20euros cheaper than EVGA GTX 950 FTW (same price as SSC on Amazon)

Also wanted to ask you guys if I should get X99 platform with the new processors coming this year or go for Skylake i7, prices for i7 6700k been dropping lately however question is how much will cost the new processors on Europe and if it will be worth.

I wrote on topic I will get an upgrade on future this year, but my current pre built pc aint working properly, and the LED fans actually look quite good for me thats all it matters.

I hope this isn't a gaming PC, you could have done so much better rather than spending so much on a case

In any case upgrades would depend on what you do with your PC

As far as GPUs go a 380 is going to be your best bet, it outperforms even a 960 in most places, especially at higher resolutions

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
