Hi LTT community!

 

So, I am building a desk and I'm planning to make the PC inside that desk.
I want to water cool the CPU but I don't have a very big budget, around 1500€, so I'm saving 200€ to the water cooling loop.
That means that I've a total of 1300€ to build my PC (including monitor).

 

I'm from Portugal so things are more expensive here, but I plan to find the cheapest price in Europe (price+shipping).

The aim of the build is essencially to be my work instrument as well as a gaming one. I need to work with Autodesk Software like Revit, Autocad, Robot, most of the times all at once... I will be doing some programming too and, of course, I'll be using the basic Microsoft Office software. I want to play high end games too, like GTA V, Mafia III, Witcher 3, Battlefield 1, etc... But the main focus for this machine is going to be working.

 

I also plan on doing a lot of multitasking and I'd like a big monitor.

I've some pieces in mind that you can check here but you can change any of them. If you help me I promise to post a complete post of my build.

 

Thank you for you're help!

idk how expensive things are in Portugal but you may need more than 200 dollars for a custom loop, So maybe stick to air cooling for now and save up a bit more?

Get a better quality PSU. The NEX is extremely average for it's price.

Asking if the series was fine and using that as an example, not whether that one in particular was the one he should get.

just pointing the cons

I'm from Portugal so things are more expensive here, but I plan to find the cheapest price in Europe (price+shipping).

The aim of the build is essencially to be my work instrument as well as a gaming one. I need to work with Autodesk Software like Revit, Autocad, Robot, most of the times all at once... I will be doing some programming too and, of course, I'll be using the basic Microsoft Office software. I want to play high end games too, like GTA V, Mafia III, Witcher 3, Battlefield 1, etc... But the main focus for this machine is going to be working.

 

I also plan on doing a lot of multitasking and I'd like a big monitor.
