PC for 400€!

by adze • 26 Jun 2011, 16:10 • Journals
Hello!

I would like to set up a new pc for 400€, but I am not really into this Intel i3/5/7 serie, dunno what's so cool about them. Would you please set a nice config up?
PSU/MOBO/GFX/CPU/MEMORY is what I need.

I was thinking about this:

PSU: HKC USP-5550 ~ 28€
MOBO: ASUS P7H55 ~ 80€
GFX: GIGABYTE GV-N550OC-1GI GTX550Ti 1GB GDDR5 PCIE ~ 133€
CPU: INTEL Core i3-550 3.20GHz 1156 BOX ~ 100€
MEMORY: KINGMAX 2x2048MB DDR3 1333MHz ~ 37€ (Heard complains about GEIL fitting into that MOBO that's why I chose this)

= ~378€
Is it any good or I can find better for the same amount of money?
Took the prices from hungarian shops. The config is not for me btw.

Thanks, cya.

Save up a bit more. The CPU that you have chose has a decent speed, but even a lower ghz i5 would be much more efficient and be faster in the long term. It's perhaps the most important piece in a new PC and falling short on a poor CPU is a waste of time.

How about getting amd phenom x4 965be or 955 processor? These processors are better than i3 and are much cheaper than many intels processors.
