Hey guys,so I am planning to buy this Rig.I'm living in Romania so the website is romanian but the parts are still the same.

I read some reviews and I think that for my 4200 RON budget,(that's around 950 US-Dollars) this build is the best.

What do you think about it?

 

http://www.pcgarage.ro/vizualizare-wishlist/1675351/ 

Should I change something or is this configuration good?

Do you really want to overclock? I mean, is K series neccesary?

Also PSU could be 520-550W

And Corsair 200R would save bit money if you don't care about looks

This is what I recommend for a $1000 gaming PC. Mini-ITX build (you can go bigger if you want) with built-in Wireless and Bluetooth. See if you can get these parts in your local Romanian outlets.

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.

Yea,I would like to overclock,so the K series is kinda neccesary.There is no 200R by Corsair ,so I'll go with the 650W one.

Paying extra for overclocking isn't going to be worth it most likely for gaming, don't buy a V300 SSD, look for an XFX/Seasonic/Superflower/EVGA(non NEX) PSU potentially, and you probably don't need a DVD drive

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?

Doesn't it hurt the concept of a mini-ITX build to go with a micro-ATX case?

Kingston did a bait and switch with the V300 series and the review samples were different from the retail SSDs after a short while, they were much slower.

You'll be getting way over the $1000 mark if you want an overclockable CPU. You'll need a Z170 series motherboard and a strong CPU cooler as well. When it comes to gaming PCs, you should always spend more on your GPU.

As I said, you can buy bigger motherboards if you want. The case is a Micro-ATX case for your convenience.

What size do you like? Mini? Micro? Or Mid-Towers?

I doesn't. Rather, if you have a larger case, you have more compatibility with motherboards, should you decide to switch.

Or if you're paranoid, then you can buy the Fractal Design Define Nano S. xD

Forgot to mention about cooling an OCKed CPU.

Well, if you're that fond of the micro-ATX form-factor due to its more diverse upgrade options, why not just pick a Micro-ATX motherboard? An LGA 1151 mATX motherboard and a decent budget wireless card will still be about half the price of the motherboard you picked.

 

It isn't paranoia- it's a logical inquiry.

Check out the Thermaltake V21. It's an excellent, compact, value-oriented mATX case with a modular interior design with versatile mounting options and an included 200mm fan.

Well, Gigabyte's WiFi+Bluetooth H170 motherboard only comes in a Mini-ITX form factor. I wish the built-in WiFi and Bluetooth feature came in other form factors, but so far, there is none.

 

I'll be honest, choosing the Micro-ATX case was a mistake. I didn't see that in the first place.

I think I'll stick with the mid Tower case. I'll just change the ssd with this one  http://www.pcgarage.ro/ssd/intel/535-series-120gb-sata-iii-25-inch/

Mid-Tower it is!

Do you need a WiFi/Bluetooth adapter? I haven't included one in this build.
