Config 1.

 

-Fractal design r4 black pearl/Arc XL

 

-Corsair RM 850

 

-i7 4770k

 

-Kingston HyperX H20 2x4gb 2133mhz

 

-Samsung 840 EVO 120gb

 

-R9-290X

 

-ASUS maximus VI formula

 

 

 

Config 2.

 

-Fractal design R4 black pearl/Arc XL

 

-Corsair RM 850

 

-i7 4770k

 

-G.skill 2x8gb ARES ram

 

-Samsung 840 EVO 250gb

 

-R9-290X

 

-Gigabyte GA-Z87X-OC

 

 

 

I picked the RM 850 because i want to get a second R9-290X later and it`s by far the best option in sweden.

 

The reason i picked H2O RAM 2133mhz is because it`s the cheapest 8gb kit in sweden and i like the look.

 

Also i don`t need more than 120gb of storage and if i run out of storage i can get a 1tb HDD i have lying around.

 

I can get more RAM and a CPU cooler around christmas.

 

i have not decided case yet.

 

the i7 is because i will do editing later on and next gen games will use more threads. and i will fold with it.

 

budget is not given because i live in sweden and price is messed up here

 

 

Advantages with 1.

 

-better looks

 

-better sound

 

Drawbacks with 1.

 

-less storage

 

-less RAM (all though more RAM could be obtained during christmas)

 

Advantages with 2.

 

-more RAM.

 

-more storage

 

Drawbacks

 

-not as good looks

Intel i7 5820l @ with Corsair H110 | 32GB DDR4 RAM @ 1600Mhz | XFX Radeon R9 290 @ 1.2Ghz | Corsair 600Q | Corsair TX650 | Probably too much corsair but meh should have had a Corsair SSD and RAM | 1.3TB HDD Space | Sennheiser HD598 | Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro | Blue Snowball
