My first build

Posted

So im planning my first build, and would like some help choosing the hardware with the best value

My build so far is under the 5 questions

 

1. Budget & Location

Location: Norway
Preferrably using the www.komplett.no website (simple to use a norwegian website considering shipping, support, prica match and such)

Currency: Norwegian Krone (NOK)

1USD=8,29NOK

Budget: 1500USD (12500NOK) but can be pushed up to 1800USD (1500NOK)

2. Aim

This is a build for Gaming

But i will also use it for university so decent storage is needed

3. Monitors

24-27'' 2560x1440 60hz+

I'm only going to use it with one gaming monitor, but i'd like to be able to occasionally plug in a second one with potentially better resolution for movies and pictures

4. Peripherals

I will need
The build itself (The smaller tower the better, but a mid tower is fine)

Windows Home
1x Monitor

5. Why are you upgrading?

I finally have the money, and want something more stable and better cooled than a laptop
 

 

 

I don't know if it's problematic to help me on a norwegian website, but google translate can hopefully help you if you need more information on anything. There are some sales on the website that might change which hardware is best, but i don't know how to fix that issue for you guys.

 

Anyways here is a pre-made build on the website with parts on sale:

 

AMD AM4 Ryzen 5 2600X 2149NOK 251,24USD

ASUS ROG STRIX X470-F GAMING 1490NOK (31% off 2149NOK) 174,20USD (31% off 251,24USD)

HyperX Fury DDR4 2666MHz 16GB 1585NOK 185.33USD

Samsung PM981 SSD 512GB (No price, not selled seperately)

Corsair Carbide SPEC-05 Midi Tower 599NOK 70,04USD

Corsair TX550M 550W PSU 599NOK (26% off 809NOK) 70,04USD (26% off 94,60USD)

ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 DUAL OC 3990NOK (23% off 5190NOK) 466,55USD (23% off 606,86USD)

 

All pre-made builds also include:

All necessary cables
Manuals

 

Total: 11990NOK (22% off 15290NOK)
Total: 1402 USD (22% off 1787,88 USD)

 

I have also been looking at a monitor and wonder if its decent considering price/performance and to my build:

You can get a key for Windows off of EBay for £1.50.

 

Use that to get used GTX 1080. If it's an EVGA one, warranty is transferable so no risk.

 

2600X is a good choice.

 

What's the cooler you gonna use?

Thanks for the windows tip.

so the only main problem i have with this is since its a prebuild i dont know what cpu cooler is in there, and i cant remove any single peace of hardware
If i were to upgrade to a GTX 1080 i would have two choices:
1: Buy both the GTX 1070 and the GTX 1080 and sell the GTX 1070 after
2: Buy the build not prebuild for 10412NOK 1218,75USD WITHOUT a CPU cooler, thermal paste, and the Samsung PM981 SSD 512GB

I'd buy it all separately. It will be cheaper. You can get an used air cooler like Noctua DH15, SSD will be your choice (and it's cheap on Amazon now Black Friday).

 

Use Black Friday to your advantage dude, and used market. GTX 1080 will be cheap now.
