Yeah it's a sound build, I'd upgrade GPU to a 280x and add an SSD if budget permits, but nothing wrong with that as it is

Yeah that's decent build, I'm guessing you want a small factor build that can run most games on Medium settings.
I'd get an SSD instead of the TB HDD, and replace that 280 with a 380 which are essentially the same but the 380 is a newer model that uses less power.

edit: or what digital said, get a 280x

Digital Solitude · 07-08-2015 8:23pm

Or a 380x

380 is a good suggestion, maybe gun for that

Keep the HDD, 1tb HDD is the same price as a 120gb SSD, 120gb won't last pissing time on its own

is the 280x worth around €80 difference? i can get the 280 for 160 plus shipping. i cant find the 280x any cheaper than €270 anywhere. is the motherboard ok? its cheap

treeminder · 07-08-2015 8:33pm

i use https://www.curiua.com/ to compare european amazon prices. france and spain seem the cheapest. german one doesnt ship to ireland as much

treeminder · 07-08-2015 8:34pm

i defiantly need 1 tb. the latest games are require huge storage

Digital Solitude · 07-08-2015 8:39pm

You can get a second hand 280X for about that money, I sold mine for €150 today. A H87 or H97 board would probably be better but H81 is grand.

im worried about buying a used gpu, if it malfunctioned would i be covered in with the warranty?

is this an ok first build?
