Gaming pc check

Hey guys,

Since I can't find my old account password back , I am posting on my old account!

I am looking to build a new pc and was wondering if everything fits nice together...

This is what I have:

Dunno about that CPU, I'd really get a Intel Haswell and compatible mobo if you have the money for it
▼
Oxy 23 Jul 2013, 17:41
Ditch the motherboard, ram, cpu, psu and case you might have a somewhat decent foundation.
▼
Staary 23 Jul 2013, 17:50
Spend more on the CPU and get a 4th generation intel CPU instead of AMD, it's around 160 euro but will last for years.

http://www.databyteshop.nl/BX80646I54570 this one would rock.

Oxy 23 Jul 2013, 17:54
No. Don't waste your money on a locked CPU. Better yet, don't take advice from the idiots on here all-together. Just head over to tomshardware or overclock.net or whatever suites you the most and ask for building recommendations on a budget over there.

Maus_old 23 Jul 2013, 17:56
what would you recommend me? I am thinking around 650-750 MAX, seems like u know some stuff about it ;p

Oxy 23 Jul 2013, 17:59
Eh, I'd still go with an ivy build given your budget, there's no point going haswell as you'll just be left with locked, and worthless CPU. Performance increase of roughly 2%? No one gives a shit, in a real environment this makes absolutely no difference. Future proofing? Please, 5th generation is already around the corner.
I reckon you're still using your laptop and thus don't have any old parts to spare? Look around for the likes of a i5 3570k, maybe MSI Z77 G41 for a motherboard, same GPU as above, some decent be quiet PSU (430W is absolutely enough) and depending on what's left of the budget, either be cheap about the RAM and throw in a SSD or.. skip the SSD entirely for a later purchase and get something alike Corsair Vengeance LP or G.Skill Ares

What's wrong with a locked CPU? I doubt anyone is going to do some overclockin on their 1st build.
Parent
▼
Oxy 23 Jul 2013, 18:13
Why wouldn't they? Especially now that every single UEFI motherboard out there has a random "PRESS HERE TO AUTOMATICALLY OVERCLOCK YOUR SHIT" button.
Parent
▼
Hing 23 Jul 2013, 18:16
I wouldn't risk it if i just built it, burning or ruining something brand new because you were stupid and OC'd too much would haunt me forever.
Parent
▼
Oxy 23 Jul 2013, 18:19
yeah, but that's just the thing. Anyone that took the slightest bit of time into researching it, before.. actually doing it, would realize that there's literally no "real" harm that could come from a minimal OC. Hell, there's plenty of guides out there for your exact CPU+motherboard combination to achieve both an overclock and undervolt. And sure, they might not want to Overclock right away, but come a year or two? Why the hell not. at least now he's got the option to as opposed to having to buy a new CPU again to get that bit of more performance out of it.

Maus_old 23 Jul 2013, 17:57
And btw this pc is from tomshardware :p
Parent

Staary 23 Jul 2013, 18:05
You call me an idiot and then you recommend him a CPU that costs as much as the one that I recommended, you lack common sense.
Parent
▼
Oxy 23 Jul 2013, 18:20
And you lack comprehension. The CPU you recommended, is a bad suggestion due to the fact that it's LOCKED. Where as the one I recommended, of the same price budget and performance, is not and is therefor, if an OC is applied a million times more efficient.
Parent

Staary 23 Jul 2013, 21:04
Why you all nerds feel the need to overclock something that is already good? The difference is not really big anyway.
Parent
▼
zeKxa 24 Jul 2013, 01:25
well it is actually big tbh
Parent
▼
zeKxa 24 Jul 2013, 01:28
its mostly because intel are actually changin sockets way too fast and its useless to take latest one..
Parent
▼
Maus_old 23 Jul 2013, 17:55
and that's much better than the one in the edit link?
Parent
▼
Staary 23 Jul 2013, 18:03
Not much better but better since it's newer, both are quite good for gaming and you won't feel much of a difference between them anyway.
Parent
▼
Scarce 23 Jul 2013, 17:51
change the cpu to intel i5 / i7 and motherboard aswell
▼
torM 23 Jul 2013, 18:03
+1 get intel and nvidia not amd and ati or you will have hedaches!

and this is much better? :p
Parent
▼
Oxy 23 Jul 2013, 18:02
It Actually is, by far, but I'd still not take the sandybridge configuration he put up there for you. Replace the CPU/Motherboard with an Ivy setup, the HDD with a WD or Barracuda and you're good to go with roughly the exact same budget but much better performance. Also, take the 430W version of the PSU he listed, saves another 20€. Not entirely sure about the GPU though, if I were to go for a 560 I'd probably want a Ti at the very least.
Parent
▼
Maus_old 23 Jul 2013, 18:05
would you mind putting something together on the website? or well just the changes?
Parent

Pretty sure you could get stuff a lot cheaper from another store, this one's.. rather pricy and has a limited selection. Also, ditch the SSD (Samsung 840 120GB 2.5" SATA-600 SSD) from the list if it's too far out of your budget. You can always save some more on the Case/Ram/GPU if really needed, but.. meh.

Maus_old 23 Jul 2013, 18:22
thank you mate, maybe a dumb question but, does this motherboard etc fit in this small case? :P
Parent
▼
Oxy 23 Jul 2013, 18:23
Oh wow, good catch. didn't even realize :P Thought it was the Midi Tower I selected. No, actually. The motherboard wouldn't fit
Parent
▼
Maus_old 23 Jul 2013, 18:25
haha! so any midi tower would do? :P
Parent
▼
Oxy 23 Jul 2013, 18:25
Yeah, as long as it says "ATX" it'll be fine.
Parent
▼
Maus_old 23 Jul 2013, 18:26
owkay, thanks!

bLizzi 23 Jul 2013, 19:25
oxy, is 1gb for a video card enough for 1920x1080 ?(256 bits ofc)
like , getting the version with 2gbs would be money wasting ?
Parent
▼
Oxy 23 Jul 2013, 19:41
a higher VRAM doesn't necessarily make it.. better or faster. It's plenty enough, definitely. But if you have some money spare look into GTX670/770
Parent
▼
bLizzi 23 Jul 2013, 19:46
they are a little bit out of my league :D
i was thinking about
Sapphire Radeon HD7850 Dual-X 1GB/2GB DDR5 256-bit
1gb-171 euros
2gb-192 euros
Parent
▼
zeKxa 24 Jul 2013, 01:25
not sure about the psu and the hdd but rest is ok even tho i would go for higher mhz ram
Parent
▼
Oxy 24 Jul 2013, 01:44
1600 @ 1.5V, can easily run 1866 @ 1.65
Parent
▼
zeKxa 24 Jul 2013, 11:45
yeah its the case for most of the ram idd, would just have putted 2000Mhz ram or higher but dunno the current prices in NL tho
Parent
▼
Oxy 24 Jul 2013, 14:06
theres point in having anything higher than 1866, the performance increase of 2% compared to the amount of money you're paying is.. simply not worth it. You'll only be gaining higher benchmark scores too, at most, but an actual real-life, user environment gains nothing from it.
Parent
▼
zeKxa 24 Jul 2013, 15:41
12% between DDR3-1600 and DDR3-2800
Parent
▼
Oxy 24 Jul 2013, 16:49
Also 300€ in cost.
Parent
▼
zeKxa 24 Jul 2013, 21:56
2x4GB, DDR3-2666 = 150€ in here
but hell yeah the ram prices are going crazy lately :s
Parent
▼
Oxy 24 Jul 2013, 23:12
2x4GB of 1600s = 30€ :P

What is the maximum budget You can spend for your personal computer? Even 100 euro can make a huge difference. Would be glad to help You out. Been helping people to build custom gaming PC's for years now.
▼
Maus_old 23 Jul 2013, 19:33
something like 800, but I guess the one that oxy gave me is pretty good? :D
Parent

The_Emperor 23 Jul 2013, 23:41
Small budget :< If u could have like 300-400 euros more, u would have asskicking PC to play latest games on for like 4-5 years.

DrLagAlot 25 Jul 2013, 02:25
I also regularly got problems with my right shoulder, just stick to lighter machine training and don't row that hard and it'll be better asap
Parent
▼
Maus_old 25 Jul 2013, 10:15
well I had it for a year almost, and the doc told me I should stop ranging between 2-6 months, because If I don't it would be an operation, I had to take serious medication to get the swelling away etc :o
Parent

Maus_old 25 Jul 2013, 10:16
plus I couldn't do anything properly anymore, not benching fully, not even training shoulders with 4 kg's.. no push-ups...

not more than 3000 mg per day of omega3 though! Wouldn't hurt you if you gained slightly more mass and did a little more leg raises :D But beside that I still admire you for being that ripped
Parent

alexL 25 Jul 2013, 09:20

well i am on 10 000 mg everyday of omega 3:p
yeah i want more mass, but im modelling so i cant :(
