My first PC build

[Daan-Scheur]

Hey guys,

 

I am new to this kind of forum stuff but I am going to try anyway.

 

So i decided to make the step from console to pc. The pc i have now is an HP pre build system that is not really good for gaming. First i wanted to upgrade this thing but that is really impossible because it doesnt even have a slot for an video card( it has an integrated video card right now). So i decided to build a new one from scratch. I watched all the video's about building pc's on youtube that i could find and I think that I am ready. So I saw a build of paul's hardware and decided to steal this and give it my own twist. Here is the pc partpicker: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/3GrLyf

 

My budget is around € 1100 (I am from Europe so some of the stuff that is on the list is a bit more expensive). I would really like if you guys give me some feedback on the parts I picked for this PC. Sorry for any grammer foulds I made English wasn't my best grade at school.

 

Thanks a lot!!

be careful of choosing RAM modules from this list only

https://fr.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z170A-GAMING-M3.html#support-mem

to avoid compatibility issues

just a short note, in The Netherlands you can best use the online shop called Afuture. They have the lowest price most of the time, great customer reviews and an amazing varaity of stock.

 

In Dutch:

(effe kort, in Nederland is Afuture de beste online winkel, lekker goedkoop, zeer betrouwbaar, heeft veel reviews en heeft een heel groot assortiment.)

I recommend you use www.tweakers.net/pricewatch to compare prices. If you create an account there you can also add a wishlist that can automatically choose the cheapest stores for every component (much like this PC-partpicker). Ordering from Germany gernally isn't all that beneficial due to the extra shipping costs.

The configuration mentioned above is a great starting point though.

 

As the previous poster said, Afuture is nice and personally I would add Azerty and 4Launch to that list. They're 3 pretty big-volume stores that usually have their shit together, decent service, and good prices. Their prices usually don't vary much either.
