First PC

[Shiftz]

So this is what i got for my build. There are some things i'm not sure about and there are items like the case and MB that i don't feel like changing. Everything is in euro (Belgium). The idea of this build is to get high frame rates at gaming, do some editing and record gameplay.

Very good but don't get an H60 it is just not worth it for the price,there are way better aircoolers for less money(If you buy it for the decreased noise then go for it)

[brownninja97]

Get a 600watt power supply, get a worse wireless card as well, its just a waste of money to get an expensive one. Also get 1600mhz ram or 1333mhz, you save money and you will not notice the difference. Get a hyper evo 212

There is nothing wrong with getting a better power supply but about the WIFI card you are right.

[Shiftz]

the h60 was picked for the noise and the pci card cause i need some range and it was one that was recomended to me but if you can list me a better one please tell me

[brownninja97]

save the money and spend it on something else like a better gpu or ssd.

[MikeTz]

About the WIFI card just get this :http://www.tp-link.com/gr/products/details/?categoryid=240&model=TL-WN951N

[lachyman]

Budget?

[Shiftz]

Budget?

well i try to keep it under 2000 including monitor and os

It has 3 antennas so you will have about the same range.

does the 300 mbps vs a 450mbps make a big difference?

[MikeTz]

does the 300 mbps vs a 450mbps make a big difference?

you will never be able to use more than 150 mbps except if you have fiber.

[Shiftz]

i do have fiber so what difference can it make?

[zip2k4]

does the 300 mbps vs a 450mbps make a big difference?

 

realistically? no

 

only and only if you have a gigabit connection between you and home server (nas/media server/etc.) that is local, besides that I doubt anyone would notice difference

[MikeTz]

i do have fiber so what difference can it make?

not much but since you have fiber than go with the ASUS one.

[Shiftz]

is it better if i change the ram to a 1x 8gb corsair vengeance so i can get more upgrades later?

Air is quieter. A Hyper 212 with silent fans. NHD 14, Silver arrow, or a Dark rock would be even better.

Nope, dual channel.

 

Get a decent monitor. The one you picked is a TN panel, looks horrible, get an Asus PB278Q for example. Bout the same price and much better picture quality ^^

[Joe3417]

get a mid tower

the monitor is way more expensive in my counry then the one i listed, 200 euro difference

Oh... it's 50$ difference here

 

Theres a 24" PB / PA from Asus, if you can get an IPS / PLS monitor, so much better than TN panels. [Running a PLS and two TN, the TN now give me eyecancer.]

Here’s what I think: you’ve got a lot of money that you’re willing to spend, but you’re not spending it in the right places.

The case is preference

You don’t need to spend that much on a motherboard. Anything between 100- 150€ is good enough (even for overclocking and gaming)

Upgrading to a better gpu would make the biggest change to the performance of your pc. I would recommend a 770 or even 780 on the amd side a 7970

Your case is big enough so I’d get a corsair h100 or h80i ( but water cooling isn’t a must)

Good choice in powersupply

You don’t need such expensive ram!!! Get the corsair vengeance ram! Only 60€

Maybe you can get a cheaper hard drive

A 15€ wifi card is just as good as what you’ve chosen

You might want to get a bigger ssd, but it isn’t necessary

The monitor isn’t worth the price! I can definitely recommend the SyncMaster S24350 from Samsung

Maybe you can check by your school and some might be able to give away copies of win7

 

It looks like things in Belgium are quite expensive so it might be a good idea to go to Germany and get the components ( Di –Tech has fair prices)

[Shiftz]

yeah i know some parts aren't the best but thats sometimes chosen to have the red/black pc.

 

and i haven't checked out other country's cause i'm not so familiar with them, and i know the good services of the site where i buy most of the items.

Price should be around €1800. Change the PSU to Corsair RM850, it should cost similiar as the one I showed above.
