Custom PC

JailB8 xoxo

Long story short im buying a much needed new pc.
I will be using this pc to run programs such as solidworks, c4d, sony vegas, and photoshop as well as other adobe programs.
I will also be using it to play cod, sc, cs and really any pc releases that take my fancy

Ive tried to do a build myself and am just looking for advice/opinions on it as ive never done this sort of thing before

Im sorry but i couldnt work out how to do that box format everyone seems to be doing, i hope this will do


Intel Core i7-3770 Box, LGA1155 287.23
ASUS P8H77-V LE, Sockel 1155, ATX, DDR3 91.58
16GB-Kit Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 MHz CL9 92.81
CM Storm Enforcer - black, ohne Netzteil 79.55
Sapphire HD 7850 2GB GDDR5 PCI-Express 221.74
Cooler Master Silent Pro MII 620W 87.00
Seagate Barracuda 7200 2000GB, SATA 6Gb/s 102.46

Total 982.37


Would you make any changes ?

http://www2.hardwareversand.de - that was the website i used.
when i did a build on another website pcspecialist.co.uk they informed me whether my build was compatible or not. does this website also inform you as i've not had any notification signifying that it wouldnt be

on a final note i noticed that from the german website ireland gets a reduced vat of 13.5%. does that mean that the overall price quoted will be less due to the tax reduction or will they be aware of my location even though ive not created an account yet

I'd make a few small changes:

Item|Price
Intel Core i7-3770K Box, LGA1155|€319.61
ASRock Z77 Pro3, Sockel 1155, ATX|€92.81
2 x 8GB-Kit G.Skill PC3-10667U CL9|€35.93
Seagate Barracuda 7200 2000GB, SATA 6Gb/s|€102.46
MSI R7850 TwinFrozr 2GD5/OC, 2048MB DDR5, PCI-Express|€226.30
CM Storm Enforcer - black, ohne Netzteil|€79.55
Super-Flower Amazon 80Plus 550W|€53.75
Thermalright True Spirit 120|€23.92
Total build cost: €970.26 + €18.99 shipping


Bump the CPU to a 3770K and the mobo to a Z77. That way you can overclock it for a bit more power. Changed the RAM to 2x8GB kits as it works out €20 cheaper. Changed the 7850 to an MSI TFII as it has a better cooler for only a few euro more. Got a cheaper PSU that's just as good really. Added a cooler for the CPU.

The VAT is already taken into account.

I'd go for the 3770K as you'd be able to overclock (big performance boost and not actually very difficult).

Also, a Z68 or Z77 board would be preferable to H77.

There's cheaper PSUs than that... or do you particularly want a modular one?
Cheap:

The prices are what they say they are. No VAT changes.

I'd also think about squeezing in an SSD. It makes life a lot easier when waiting for slow programs like photoshop in only a few seconds.

Edit: I should definitely refresh the pages more often!
