~1000€PC build DRAFT

[JerryBond]

Yo

 

My friend's building a 1000€ pc, and I've come here for any recomendations on the components.

He sent me a ss of current selected components, and if any of you fellas know a good replacement, shoot!

There should also be an SSD in the price range, so keep that in mind too

Big thanks in advance!


#edit; Also take in accounbt that he wants it in red/black colour, and there's no need for asus EVO MB.

DON'T BUY FX. Just too old, I myself am a AMD fan but I still went Intel on the processor.

What is his budget?

What does he have already?

Can he reuse parts from his old computer?
Where is he from?

What is the point of the computer?

Wait for the RX 480 in 3 days and buy an i5

I have made a parts list for Italy so this is more of a guide than you should get this, I'll explain the rational with each part and what your friend should pick and give a rating on his parts list.

A 4th or 6th Gen unlocked i5 is a great choice for gaming, 4th and 6th Gen series intel CPUs have a good single core performance and because of that will beat an AMD 8 core such as a FX 8320 in single and multi-threaded workloads.

 

I'd look at benchmarks for CPU coolers, I think I read taht the Cryorig H7 was a good value cooler, but then again I am not an expert. I don't like AIOs as much since they have more points of failure and have a much shorter life span compared with tower heatsinks, they also often cost more for the same performance.

 

RAM is basically RAM, 1600MHz DDR3 for 4th Gen intel CPUs, 2100MHz DDR4 for 4th Gen intel CPUs is about standard and fast RAM doesn't effect performance much or at all with gaming.

 

A Z87 or Z97 motherboard so you can overclock a 4th Gen unlocked intel CPU, a Z170 motherboard for a 6th Gen intel CPU so you can overclock. Since only the premium chipset can overclock, you don't have to worry about crappy intel motherboards and overclocking, so any Z series chipset from the respective socket will do.

 

The ADATA SP550, Samsung 850evo, Crucial BX100 and Kingston UV400 are good budget SSDs. I'd get a 240GB SSD or larger since smaller SSDs are more expensive per GB.

 

A Hard Drive is a Hard Drive. There are only 3 HDD manufactures left, WD, Seagate and Toshiba. Samsung and Maxtor HDDs are made by Seagate, Fujitsu and 3.5" Hitachi (HGST) drives are made by Toshiba, 2.5" Hitachi (HGST) are made by WD. Get a 64MB Cache 7200RPM HDD.

 

The R9 390 is a great card, MSI, XFX, Powercolor and Sapphire make really good AMD graphics cards. I'd probably wait for the Rx 480 though.

 

A case is a case, it comes down to personal preference.

 

The PSU he choose is very good, but 850W is overkill, 500W for a single GPU, 750W for 2 GPUs is my recommendation.
