Approximate Purchase Date: September 2013
Budget Range: 1500-2000€ (less is good too, as long as it's as powerful as I want it to be
)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Browsing, Watching movies, Some light graphical/sound design
Are you buying a monitor: Yes, I'll replace one of my 2 monitors, an old 19" to a 23.6".
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: www.pixmania.ie
Location: Ireland
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080 or 1920x1200
Additional Comments: If there are any silent options for a similar price, I'll take that, if not, meh.
Why Are You Upgrading: My previous computer is nearly 3 years old, it's time to update. And it's crashing from time to time, so now is a good time to change.
Here is the parts that I have chosen so far:
Case: FRACTAL DESIGN Define R4 - Tower - ATX
Power Supply: LEPA G750-MAS 80PLUS Gold - PC Power supply
CPU: INTEL Core i7 Ivy Bridge 3770K - 3.5 GHz - 8 MB L3 Cache - LGA 1155 Socket
CPU Cooler: COOLER MASTER Ventirad HYPER 612S Processor Cooler
Motherboard: ASROCK Z77 Extreme6 (Socket 1155/ H77/DDR3/S-ATA 600/ATX)
RAM: KINGSTON HyperX Beast PC Memory 2 x 8 GB DDR3-2400 PC3-19200
GPU: PNY GeForce GTX 760 - 2 GB GDDR5- PCI-Express 3.0
Storage 1: SAMSUNG SSD 840 Series Basic 2.5" - 250 GB
Storage 2: WESTERN DIGITAL VelociRaptor WD1000DHTZ 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - 1 TB
Storage 3: SEAGATE 3TB Barracuda 7200.14 SATA III 6Gbps 3.5-inch Hard Drive (64MB cache, 7200rpm)
Monitor: ASUS VE247H 23.6" Full HD LED Monitor
My goal with this computer is to play all the current games at maximum settings, and that it'll still be capable of playing the newest games for around 3 to 4 years at medium settings at least.
If it can be silent to boot, that'd be great, but that's not the most important. ^_^
I have to admit that I chose the parts pretty quickly, so there might be huge obvious mistakes in there (hopefully not :/). I still have quite some time before I decide on a definitive build as I'll buy it in September, but I'd like some advice.
Unfortunately, living in Ireland, I don't have much of a choice when it comes to the "preferred website for parts". It's mainly Pixmania or nothing here.
Thanks in advance for your help!
