Gaming PC-1100 euro

Jaafa

So finally going to buy a new desktop. Have a decent grasp of whats needed, but thought I'd double check with you guys also not sure which brand of GPU,SSD,monitor is best.
Anyway, what I have in mind so far is i5-2500k/3570k,ATI 7850,8GB ram,SDD+HDD,shinobi case. Also I'll need a wireless card included with the price, but I might take it out, moving house soon so I'll have to see what the set up is like there. I'd like the computer to be as future proof as possible for the price.

1. What is your budget?
€1100

2. What will be the main purpose of the computer?
Gaming as well as the normal stuff. Want to almost max out new games at 1920x1080.

3. Do you need a copy of Windows?
Yes, will get from software for students

4. Can you use any parts from an old computer?
Yes, PSU, Corsair VX 550w

5. Do you need a monitor?
Yes.

5a. If yes, what size do you need.
20ish

6. Do you need any of these peripherals?
Keyboard, mouse, speakers. Will get elsewhere

7. Are you willing to try overclocking?
Yes, intend to do so

8. How can you pay? [Bank Transfer/Credit Card/Laser]
Any of the above.

9. When are you purchasing?
Within 2 weeks max.

10. If you need help building it, where are you based? [South Dublin City/Cork City/Kerry/etc.]
Don't need help building.

So that's that, thanks in advance for whatever suggestions/advice you have.

Not entirely sure how good your PSU is, somebody else might be able to say if it's any good.

Yeah, I was told by Monotype that Corsair's VX line were of quite good quality, I have one in another rig for the last five years and it's been running grand.

Besides, the 7850 only needs a 450 watt.

That build looks good to me Skylinehead, I see that brand of 7850 is out of stock at the moment, if it's no back when I order which would be the next best?

Also is the final verdict that the 3570k is worth getting over the 2500k?

Skylinehead

Anything from Sapphire/Gigabyte/HIS should do.

from reading other posts get the 3570k unless you want to overclock above 4.5, ive seen people say a 4.2 ivy bridge equals a 4.5 sandy bridge

Sound thanks for the advice. One more thing, is this an ok dvd drive?

Jaafa

Also is there any difference between this case and the one posted above other than the aesthetics?

Skylinehead

No, the same otherwise. The Germany version looks fantastic IMO :cool:

Jaafa

Yeah for a few euro more I might as well.

I wonder would it be possible to squeeze in a 670, if I got a cheaper monitor and removed the cost of the PSU from there.
