I'm working on my new gaming Pc right now and I already got a list that I think would work out, I only got a few questions towards it, would be very thankful for any help!
CPU: Intel i5-4670K boxed 205€
Mobo: Gigabyte GA Z87-N-Wifi 125€
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 760 Windforce 3xOC 240 €
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 2x4GB 70 €
Case: Bitfenix Prodigy Black 70 €
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200 1TB 56€
SDD: Samsung 840 120GB 85€
BDROM: LiteON iHOS104-06 Bulk 38€
PSU: Silverstone ST50F-P 500W 75€
964€
My concerns:
CPU: I don't plan on OC right now, but i want to have the possibility to do so in near future, thats why I've changed from 4570 to 4670k. Should I rather go with a 3xxx series, or is there no reason not to go with haswell? prices aren't much higher anyway.
Mobo: Is that Mobo a good choice? Does it really have all the ports I'm going to need? I've read the Asrock z87-E itx would be better, but is it worth the extra 35 €?
GPU: As I'm building my first PC, I'd love to be able to play new games as BF4 on the highest settings, is the gtx 760 strong enough to do that on a 1920x1080 HDTV? Should i rather go with the 770?
BDROM: looked for a cheap BDROM, this one has the necessary software too as i heard that this is a thing to look for
PSU: chose the ST50F-P as it's a very small one ( 140mm) and I'm trying to put it together myself, thought I would try not to have the same problem other people had with the Bitfenix Prodigy, where PSU's would not fit. I still have concerns if 500W will be enough, especially as it only delivers 408W on the 12V rail. I don't need anything better than Bronze ratings, so if there's a good PSU with enough W that's small enough to easily fit into the Prodigy, please tell me
OS: I thought I'd try to find me a cheap windows 7 license, maybe under 50€, if that's not possible I'll have to spend the 80€ demanded for either W7 or W8 - if the price is the same, should I rather go with W8 as it is said to be a bit quicker, or should I stay with W7?
Budget: Of cource I'm trying to save as much as possible, but if necessary I'd rather maraud some of my savings in order to avoid problems.
Thank you all for any provided help and information!
