Building new PC

by Aniky • 7 Sep 2014, 15:56 • Journals
Hey guys, kind of need some help with setting up a new PC, since im not anymore up to date its hard to pick proper and best for its perf/cost components. What i would like to know is, which motherboard would u recommend to go with Intel's i5 4670K, as well as which cooler and ram. I was thinking somewhere around 1600MHz or is that too overrated?
Which is the best GPU that would go with this setup and is 650W quality PSU enough to sustain this setup?

The last question, Samsung "840 PRO series SSD" 256 GB or smth else?

Budget around 1k€ and if its any use, im going to order from this site AGP, if someone is going to bother checking for build there.

PS: search engine here sucks.

Asus Z97 and yes, 650W should be sufficient. I've ordered this last week and I got it around the same budget.

  • be quiet!, Pure Power L8, 80+ Bronze, 630W CM
  • Asus Z97M-Plus, Z97, DDR3, m-ATX, S1150
  • Intel, Core i5-4690, 3.50 GHz, Box, S1150
  • Kingston, HyperX Fury, 8 GB, 1600 MHz, DDR3, Black
  • Samsung 850 Pro, 256 GB SSD, 2.5", SATA
  • WD Black, WD2003FZEX, 2 TB, SATA-3, 3.5"
  • Asus GTX760-DirectCU II OC-2GD5, 2 GB, DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort

Only bronze on PSU? Im kind of thinking of going Gold, if its already new setup, also hows that mobo performing for u? I have been reading and i will probably go for z97, just have to find out which one will suit the best with that CPU.

gold or bronze, doesnt really matter. you wont save hundreds of euro due to a little better efficiency. i also have bequiet L8 pure power with 530w. its excellent!

Gonna upgrade my setup soonish too, maybe after 1 year(ram, gpu, maybe cpu and hdd, rest are fine i think).
Places/sites to order, any recommendation for cpu&gpu? Current setup is in my profile(+ Antec TruePower New 550W).

1000€ is a lot, I'd suggest you the following

CPU: i5 4670k (you could also get an i7)
CPU Cooler with at least 6 Heatpipes
GPU: GTX 780 or ATI r9 290x
bequiet E9 >650w (a lot more if you use ATI)
Mainboard: Z97 suits every 1150 doesnt it?
RAM: 8GB DDR3-1600, CL9 minimum
SSD if requiered (i love it)

Havent said anything about it, just that he normally hits the spot of my taste when it gets to PC building.
