more system advice

Finland Hukk helped me to find parts for my new PC, however I end up at 900€ atm, while I only want to spend 700-800€ tops. As I don't really know which parts are good and which not I will just give you my list and hope you can suggest some cheaper ones with still enough quality/performance (needs to run bf3 fluently):

-Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail [202€]
-Asus P8P67 Intel P67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard ** B3 REVISION ** [134€]
-Asus GeForce GTX 560Ti DirectCU II TOP 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card [202€]
-Kingston HyperX Blu 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (KHX1600C9AD3B1K2/4G) [28€]
-OCZ ZS Series 650W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply [56€]
-Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB SATA 6Gb/s 16MB Cache - OEM (WD5000AAKX) [106€]
-Cooler Master HAF 912 Plus Case - Black [80€]
-Samsung SH-S222AB/BEBE 22x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM [22€]
(-shipping [45€])


I also found some built PC's which seem good, but don't state the brand of memory and/or mainboard as they use more than one product. Can they be really that bad compared to when I build it myself? :o

was told my cpu above has a cooler doing the job good enough already..would be cheaper then, no?
they also can't ship this mobo to my place, but I guess I can find a comparable one (or just the one above) and would end up at bit above 800 with case&drive

thanks gambit, will try to find some ratings/reviews (bet one of these parts is a troll, I will find out)

Boxed (= the one that comes with the packaging) coolers usually do their job, but they are often quite loud and don't keep the processor as cool as separate coolers would.

Hukk said that they aren't too annoying..would the noise bother me while studying when the pc is simply running?

Burneddi 22 Nov 2011, 15:41
It didn't bother me. I eventually had to get a separate cooler, because my computer started overheating when it was +35°C in the summer. Anyway, you'll probably do fine with the boxed ones.

Have to say, only thing you could get bit cheaper would be mobo, but you would win only like 20€. That's about the cheapest one if you dont want to use Sata II HDD and well, 550W power would be enough too, that processor doesn't eat too much. Im using almost the same combination with 500W power only and no probs tho my gfx card is weaker.

And yes, build it yourself, you get only shittiest of all components when you buy it from store.

:S hm..guess I'd still wait for the prices to decrease before buying this setup then..
a PC ain't worth that much money to me, especially since I doubt that I will professional hardcore addicted gayme much longer.
Will check the difference of other power and motherboard

Now is the worst time to buy hard disks, used to cost 50€ in Finland now they are like 150€

would suggest trying to use your old ones for now, easy to add more later

If you really want to save some money I'd say get cheaper cpu (for example i3, amd phenom II x4 or x6) and mobo (you can easily get a mobo for 100e and under) but that current build-up seems quite decent to me, cuz I would pay a bit more to get more long-lasting and stable pc.

For example i had a pc of around 700e and the main differences to that one are cpu and mobo.

nicon 22 Nov 2011, 13:47
but aren't there lie huge differences to this cpu? :S

JarZa 22 Nov 2011, 13:54
well it's true that intel makes way better cpus but it's also depends on what kind of a pc user you are :p I mean surely amd cpus will do just fine if you're a normal user and dont plan to overclock much etc.

And as I said that current buildup looks good to me except for mobo which you can get like 30e cheaper :x

I don't plan to overclock at all, don't want to break anything :)
I just want a reliable PC, which won't overheat, lag, freeze in any situation, allows me to play some new games and is able to handle more than 2 open programs at the same time

sani 22 Nov 2011, 13:34
you could replace i5 with i3 and maybe find a cheaper mainboard
