i5 is probably worth it if you're not stuck. CiT cases are fairly poor but will do the job if it's what you want

genjiisthebest · 12-11-2016 6:07pm

should i get a different case i just couldnt find any other green ones that were around the 30 to 40 pound mark

genjiisthebest · 12-11-2016 6:30pm

Oh and one more question im doing this with the i5 for about 980 euro is this good or should i be able to get it cheaper

Digital Solitude · 12-11-2016 6:56pm

Seems a little high, where are you buying from? I don't know cases that well in fairness, at that price range they're all a bit crap but will definitely do the job

genjiisthebest · 12-11-2016 6:59pm

So the cit one will be ok and it's all from amazon.co.uk apart from the windows which I think I'll get from kinguin

Digital Solitude · 12-11-2016 7:31pm

So it's 980 without Windows? Wait until you can afford a full licence, you can use Windows for free in the meantime

genjiisthebest · 12-11-2016 7:38pm

It's 980 with windows for around 30 Euro and how do I get to use it for free

Is it still over priced if we forget about windows so say it's 950 euro then is it still a bit high

Digital Solitude · 12-11-2016 7:57pm

My rough addition is coming out at about 850, from amazon I'd expect that to be a little over 900 and the delivery, so 950 is probably about okay.

You just don't get a key for it, you can use it without one and you'll have a watermark on your desktop. When you can afford a key, buy a genuine one and register it

930 before delivery with a full windows key. Doesn't have your LEDs or keyboard and mouse, and case is wrong colour but pretty close.

Putting €30 into a pair of homeplugs is probably handier than WiFi

genjiisthebest · 12-11-2016 8:17pm

It is a different motherboard but it's practically the same so that's fine and I will leave out windows for now and the psu is 430w instead of 500 and if I want to upgrade in the future I might need a bit more but thanks very very very much for your help and I'll have a look at that now thanks &#55357;&#56832;&#55357;&#56832;&#55357;&#56832;&#55357;&#56832;&#55357;&#56832;

Yeah I had 16gb RAM, cut to 8gb now.

RAM is RAM for the most part, and motherboards are motherboards. The difference between any two isn't meaningful at this price range.

You can push it up to 500w if you want, will only add about a tenner or so.

genjiisthebest · 12-11-2016 8:48pm

Thank you very much I really appreciate it thank you

Digital Solitude · 12-11-2016 8:50pm

No worries man.

Missing the Overwatch free weekend or is the username from elsewhere?

*edit* It's next weekend

genjiisthebest · 12-11-2016 9:53pm

Yeah I play it on Xbox I did buy it though I'm just really annoyed I'll have to buy it again when I make the pc

Digital Solitude · 12-11-2016 9:58pm

Seems about right yeah, Mindfactory is €30 delivery

Ah be grand, it'll be on sale next weekend, hopefully get a good discount at Christmas too.

Isthereanydeal.com is a good spot for bargain hunting.

i5 and a 1060 will absolutely smash an Xbox by the way, you won't know yourself

genjiisthebest · 12-11-2016 10:02pm

It's 950 with delivery without the leds and the wifi adapter and windows ten what was that thing you said about home plugs or something

Digital Solitude · 12-11-2016 10:17pm

Have a look at them on Amazon, about 30 or 40 quid for a set. You plug one in beside the PC and one beside the router, they transfer your connection through your houses electrical wires, faster and more stable than WiFi

genjiisthebest · 13-11-2016 10:32am

It ends up at around 990 with delivery

Digital Solitude · 13-11-2016 11:29am

Is that with Windows and homeplugs? I'm getting 945 delivered with Windows, no homeplugs

*That has the non-speaker version of the monitor, 960 with the speaker version

genjiisthebest · 13-11-2016 12:10pm

990 without windows but with the USB wifi adapter and the leds and the keyboard

Digital Solitude · 13-11-2016 1:07pm

genjiisthebest · 13-11-2016 1:09pm

Monitor is Gl2460HM
Psu is evga 500w there's a few versions I think there all the same tbh
It's a different mother board too the one I have in basket Is as rock h110m hds
And finally i5 6500

And then the keyboard and mouse and the internet whichever one I get

genjiisthebest · 13-11-2016 1:24pm

So with out windows we're talking 650 for the stuff from mindfactory and 215 for the amazon stuff that's 865 82 for thelights keyboard and wifi adapter and then with parcel motel that's 94 865+94=959 so 959 without windows

genjiisthebest · 13-11-2016 1:27pm

Which isn't bad because. My original list was 1050 with the i5 and windows for 30euro and that was before delivery so it's quite a bit cheaper

genjiisthebest · 13-11-2016 2:20pm

Oh and it might be 962 because I think the keyboard is oversized for parcel motel

Digital Solitude · 13-11-2016 2:27pm

Ah okay yeah, the keyboard and lights are more than I was expecting, that seems pretty okay

genjiisthebest · 13-11-2016 2:29pm

Yeah ok thanks again for your help and I would add you on steam but I've never bought anything from steam so I can't

genjiisthebest · 13-11-2016 7:49pm

something about the psu does the input voltage matter like in the us the sockets give out 120v but in europe they give out 240v how do i know which it needs and if i buy the psu from germany wont the plug be a european and not the british one we use

Digital Solitude · 13-11-2016 9:08pm

Pretty sure they don't matter, a PSU can handle either.

There should be an adapter with it, or you can buy new cables for a few Euro, called kettle plugs

genjiisthebest · 13-11-2016 9:11pm

Ok that's good thanks
