Hi
My four year old PC is living its last moments so I've decided to build a new one, I haven't been keeping up-to-date with whats going on but from light researching and advice from my 'tech' friends I've come up with this rig:
Zalman Z9 Plus Tower Case
Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor
Prolimatech Panther CPU Cooler
Kingston HyperX Beast 8GB DDR3 Kit Ram (240-dimm)
Samsung SSD 840 Series 120GB
Corsair Builder Series CX750 750 Watt ATX 2.3
ASUS GeForce GTX670-DC2-2GD5 2GB
Now, the total bill of the above system runs up to 950 euros, I'm mainly going to use this system for HD movies, multi - tasking (I often run football manager while watching a movie/series or umm, working! hehe), and some casual high-end gaming (battlefield 3 and eventually battlefield 4)
The only thing I'm going to salvage from my old pc is the 1tb hdd.
I'm still a little unsure regarding the graphic card and PSU. Regarding the graphic card I'm a little skeptical because the GTX 770 is only like 50 euros more than the one I picked and I would like any of your suggestions/thoughts regarding this issue
With regards to the PSU, well, the main reason I went for the corsair builder series is because I HATE loads of unused cables in my tower and from what I've read this PSU gives you the option to detach any of the unused cables, but I still feel like I'm getting way too much wattage for my system (I'm not planning on using an SLI system, many have told me that SLI is not really a must for casual gaming).
Well I guess that's it from me, any help/comments are greatly appreciated, if you think I can swap a component for something that's cheaper but performs equally I welcome it, if you have a better rig set up keeping in mind the 950 euro limit I welcome it!
thanks in advance
