New i5 4460 and GTX 960 budget rig

[daanvanderuit]

Hey guys,

 

So I'm planning on making myself a new computer, and made myself a little build. I talked it through with a friend of mine, and we came to the conclusion that this was a pretty good build. I'm curious what you guys think about it. I'll explain what I want with it below.

 

Link: Link :D

 

So, I've selected all the available parts in Germany, but I can get some parts in the Netherlands too, depends on what is cheapest.

 

1. Budget and Location

So, I live in Germany, but I'm able to get some parts in the Netherlands too. I'm aiming at a budget around €750

 

2. Aim

I am actually aiming at a gaming rig that can handle 1080p on higher/ultra settings. I'm not looking for a rig that will be able to handle 4K, as it is a bit too expensive for a student like me. Also I don't want it to be my main home computer to edit files and work on for school, as I have a laptop too.

 

3. Monitors

I already have a single, older HD monitor that has VGA input. I'll maybe expand my monitors or buying a new one in the future.

 

4. Peripherals 

I already have a simple mouse, keyboard and headphones. I'm probably going to run Windows 8.1 Embedded Pro on the rig. 

 

5. Why are you upgrading?

Actually, I'm still a console peasant and would like to join the master-race. All hail lord and savior Gaben.

 

Also I'm probably going to upgrade the SSD at the moment it is almost full.

Thanks for your interest!

Title says 970 but build has 960? And are you going to be doing anything that needs cuda?

Whooops, you're right. I edited it

 

And no, I don't think I am going to do something that will need cuda

Most parts will be the cheapest in Germany, It's pretty well known that Germany is the cheapest country. Everyone that lives close to the border goes shopping in Germany

Then I'd recommend getting a 380, as it tends to perform better than a 960 and it's only like $2 more than the 960.

Hahaha that's true, I've got experience. But speaking of which, I've also found some of the components in my rig that are in fact cheaper in the Netherlands...

Well yea that's possible, but you won't find any cheap parts in Belgium though

I always go to The Netherlands or just use Amazon.de when buying tech stuff. Costs around 30% less on most items, especially local stores vs amazon.de

Hahah yeahh, and if you buy some tech stuff together, you should take a look at afuture.nl. They are pretty cheap (cheapest of Holland, 99% of the times) and they ship to Belgium too...

Haha, I was already doing that. I'm making up a list on pcpartspicker to see if there is any cheaper part to find in Germany.

For the few hours on part, it is half eleven already, maybe you should go lekker to bed.
