Ok so I'm getting myself my first ever computer. And my question is:

 

I have the money to spend to buy this following computer which is linked down below but I don't know if I really need that much of it.

 

I'm from Sweden so it's a Swedish site which builds it for me because I'm not really comfortable with building it myself. The price on it is about 1100 USD.

 

If someone would be so kind to search around the site for maybe a more "budgety" build it would be super apriciated. I'm used to console so I don't really know what fps I really need. 

 

Im planning on being able to play GTA V and titles like that and the biggest reason for me buying a pc is to play Star Wars battlefront 2 when that comes out so I need to be able to handle that. Thank you in advance.

Dont know if I would trust that PSU, very little information on it (Not listed on Fractals website), and doesnt seem to even have the 80 plus efficiency rating. Would also add an SSD if you can (Would make the PC much quicker to boot and apps stored on it more responsive). 

 

Edit: Would also consider self building, you would save money and have the satisfaction of doing it (Would help in a few years anyway when you need to upgrade). 

Please quote our replys so we get a notification and can reply easily. Never cheap out on a PSU, or I will come to watch the fireworks.

Factoring in import taxes they'll pay and other fees, it's not terrible for the price. An SSD and maybe a different PSU would be nice to haves. A 1060 6GB would be really good but I'm not sure how much those cost, base price, in Sweden right now.

 

It could be better but I understand not everyone is comfortable building it themselves. I would encourage you to maybe think about it but in the end if you're not comfortable doing it, nobody should/will push you to go that route :)

Put something together that would last longer, provide better framerates at higher detail, and last a fairly long time. If you have the extra money, I would swap the 1500X for the 1600 but if you need to shave off a bit on the price, you can drop it down to a 1400 and do some overclocking to get slightly higher performance. The 1400 does come with a smaller cooler compared to the 1500X but it's still pretty good.

If you've got a friend who's done some building, maybe you both can build it together and save the building fee.

But you're factoring in my ability to fuck up when building it so I'm risking to put $1000 down the drain wich I've heard from reputable sources does not give to great fps's

Its easy to build a PC, just like adult lego. Dont worry about it, there are plenty of tutorials online (What are you going to do in a few years anyway when you upgrade). The PC is fine as a basic build, it can play games on high settings fine (Certainly much better than a console).
