Scrapped the Pareto build?

Xeon 1231v3 €260
R9 290 €305
8gb Ram €60
H97 MB €90
Nanoxia DS3 €65
500w PSU €50
Seagate Barracuda €55
256gb SSD €90

€977 Delivered.

Drop to a R9 280X and get an i7 4790k and a cooler to total at €1050 if you'd prefer more CPU power. Z97 MB is same price.

I'll link all later if you want

Yes I decided to throw more money at it :P
Thanks!

Would the games still run as good if I drop the card?

Digital Solitude

This'll serve a lot better anyways, better going flat out at the beginning.

Do you want the 290 build then? Better for gaming, slightly slower for CPU tasks but I can't imagine programming is overly taxing on it

Wow that's a lot for a PC nowerdays.

Is the performance over a Xbox or poosp worth 3 x the price? (Genuine question) I'm out of touch with pcs

Digital Solitude

Could outperform a PS4/XOne with a €600 PC. Games cost next to nothing on PC, cheaper in the long run.

If I was to keep the 290 and upgrade to the better cpu how much would that be?

Digital Solitude

About €1100 off the top if my head

Ok that's not too bad, thanks

Maybe get a 970. if the price is right. Other than that a solid build. Will be gaming on high \ultra.

My advice pay now suffering less " did I didn't I" later. only good advice if you can stretch budget.

Thanks a lot man! Will that run the witcher 3 on high settings at 1080p?

Digital Solitude

Yeah shouldn't have an issue on Ultra.
