$1100 PC

maba · September 4, 2016

I am currently planning a new computer for 1000 €/ about 1100 $

I use the computer for gaming (right now mostly shooters like CSGO, but probably going to get some of the newer ones as well), Autodesk Inventor (CAD) and Microsoft Office.

I play on full HD (not planning to go for 4k) and at least for current games, I want to have the possibility to play them on maximum Settings.

The Computer should be used in this configuration for at least about 5 years. I will overclock if that's possible in my budget.

I already thought about some of the components, so I will just list them (Sorry for the Link being on German, but the names should be the same)

Termalright HR 02 Macho Rev B

240GB Adata SSD

Seagate 1TB HDD

Zalman Z9 Neo

Still missing a Power Supply, because I am not sure how big it has to be.

Also I am not sure about most of the components.

Is the EVGA good enough? I read it has mostly similar speed to most of the more expensive, but the cooling is smaller. (Is it a good deal?)

Is the ASRock the right Motherboard for overclocking the CPU?

Is the Zalman Z9 Neo a good case? chose it mainly because it has 5 fans. (Cooling is way more important than noise + Design for me)

I also need a Wifi adapter. Which one should I chose? I am quite far away from the router, so I sometimes have problems with my Laptop and Iphone 4s.

Thank you all for helping me (It's my first build, so in case somethings wrong with the components I chose, it's probably because I just did not know it xD)

GPU, is personal preference, I would prefer an MSI cooler, but the EVGA is just as good.

The Mobo will overclock as its a Z board not a H or anything else!

I have never used the case and as its all about cooling 5 fans is good!

TP link do good wireless cards. Maybe use something called powerline which uses youre electrical ringmain to provide ethernet. I personally use this and find it sometimes drops out but about 90% of the time I have really really good internet.

Use Pc.Partpicker to verify all the components will go together and you can find the best prices. Just adjust youre country in the top right corner I believe.

Hope this helps

EVGA gxt1060 sc is the perfect GPU for 1080 gaming,

ASRock MOBO is good but you can also use MSI Z170-A Gaming M5,

550w power supply is more than enough for your build (go with cooler master or corsair)

Thanks for the fast answers. I had powerline, but somehow it disturbed the phone and so we couldn't phone anymore

Already thought about one from TP link before, because it was quite cheap

Thanks for the help with the power supply, will take a look into them.

Just for the total build so the components, in general, are no problem? Just asking because I already asked on a german forum, but the only answer I got was, that it's unbalanced and when I asked which parts are the problem, they just said: Some parts are not very high quality. (changed forums, because this is not an answer I can work with since it says kinda nothing)

checked it in pcpartpicker and they fit together.

Ideas on changing things in the build are always welcome (right now the build costs 1016€, so they shouldn't be way more expensive)
