Hi all,
For my new pc I've been researching a lot into different benchmarks and all that, trying to find the best price without sacrificing quality.
My goals with the new pc is to play new and upcoming games for ~6-8 years to come.
I've got my list pretty much sorted out, except for the motherboard and case. These two parts I find hard to judge based on specifications. (I have trouble finding out of my mobo is compatible with my needs or that it's too little/overkill).
I'd like advice on a motherboard with a maximum price of €125 for my new setup. I have no goals of ever doing SLI as I think in 6-8 years from now I'll be way better off buying a totally new card. I need my new mobo to fit 1 regular 7200rpm hdd and 1 ssd and 1 optical dvd drive (not more than of that kind needed). As said before it only needs to fit 1 gtx770.
For the case I'd like advice on good airflow and room for my components. I've selected one now that seems to have good airflow and good enough room. If you have any other suggestions please make sure they are below €50.
Current component list:
All products and prices are found using the pricewatcher in my country (The Netherlands). If you suggest any other products, please try to look them up through "http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/#highlightCat:14".
As you can see these parts are actually €86,25 over my budget. I've seen a few motherboards for €50 less than my current one which may be viable. The budget problem also brings up a few other questions:
Should I go for non-K i5 and stick with the stock cooler? As I've never OCd before my goal was to go for a mere 4.0GHz - 4.2GHz so ocíng to there might not be worth the money. Going for non-k with stock cooler will save me about €40 on cpu and cpu cooler.
Thanks in advance for your time and help.
