lagerlout

Hi All,

I'm looking for help in building a PC that is somewhat future proofed for the needs below. I have been considering going for an Intel i5 3570k for this reason. Any suggestion please, thanks.

1. What is your budget?
€500 +/-10%

2. What will be the main purpose of the computer?
Photo editing (Planning in the future as a hobby)
3D Modelling (IESve & BIM using as a student)
HTPC
Internet

3. Do you need a copy of Windows?
Hopefully no. I’m planning to use activation code from my broken laptop.
(However if this does not work I will see it as an extra on top of the €500)

4. Can you use any parts from an old computer?
No

5. Do you need a monitor?
No

5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future?
1920 x 1080, No

6. Do you need any of these peripherals?
Wireless Card

7. Are you willing to try overclocking?
Yes

8. How can you pay?
Credit Card, Debit Card

9. When are you purchasing?
In 14 days

10. If you need help building it, where are you based?
North County Dublin

Something that I think would suit you nicely. I'm sure others will have something else to add and change, but I think you would do well with this setup.

Sorry if I am being stupid but there is no case or power supply or graphics card(dont know if you need one).
Also that mobo is for over clocking but that cpu is not overclockable.
Lastlu postage is usually 18.99 but they used do a cheaper postage for a limited time, unless the are still doing that I may have missed it.
I could be totally wrong in everything I have said so I apologise in advance.
I am still learning about building PC's :cool:

Yeah your right I just coped that there, I do require a case, PSU and not sure if the processor has a graphics card built in. Thanks

16 gb ram might come in handy with 3d modelling.
Graphics is included on all new intel CPUs.


Edit: I forgot the wireless card

Thanks Tuxy, thats along the line that I was looking at. My old laptop Acer Aspire 5920g use to take over a day doing calculations so the more RAM the better!
