Hi there! I have asked you guys before and I would like to get back to you cause I have a higher budget and I'll have to wait a few days cause the place where I buy parts from doesn't have everything in stock yet. Still time to make some changes!
I will play games on 1920x1080 and I would like to max the settings in games while I listen to music on youtube in the background. Had my last computers around 3-4 years and it seems to be a good spot to aim for.
I have an i5-750 cpu and a 5850 graphics card at the moment and I'm starting to get bad fps in games, also I'm getting this " lag ? " or atleast freezing frames every now and then.
I feel like my own research can only take me so far. And I would really like to get some more advice from you guys!
So let's look at the parts:
ASUS Z87-A ATX
There are so many diffrent boards. What I'm after is a motherboard that is very high quality but maybe I can save some money picking another one without sacrificing on the quality itself. I most likely wont use more than one graphics card and I don't use wireless.
And I see it everywhere now, it's almost feels like it's stupid not to overclock.
I was wondering, choosing a motherboard that can automatically overclock, is it good? Or should I do changes to the settings on my own?
Samsung SSD Pro Basic 840-Series 128GB
Install OS and perhaps the games I play the most? Everywhere I look I read nothing but good stuff about this SSD. Expensive but most likely an improvement since I never used an SSD before.
Fractal Design Define R4 Black
Cause I had the previous version of this and I had nothing to complain about on this case, and I also like the new changes to it!
Intel Core i5 4670K 3.4 GHz (Haswell)
Might aswell stick to the latest generation if I plan to have this computer for 3-4 years right?
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Seem to be a very cheap but decent performing cooler.
MSI GeForce GTX 770 2GB TwinFrozr
The 770 seem to be in a very good sweetspot for performance vs price. The 780 cost so much more and the 760 might not last me that long?
3TB Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm SATA 6Gbit/s
Install games and programs here I guess. Storage. Always had Seagate, never hard a single one fail on me.
Crucial 16GB 1600Mhz Ballistix Sport
Now here I keep reading and get diffrent answers everytime, 4x4gb or 2x8gb?
I have gotten memory in the past that have failed and I had to send them back to get new ones, and it seems to happen to alot of people, so wouldn't it be better to get 2x8gb to make it easier to test them?
I know 8gb is enough for gaming but I want it to last for a while too.
Corsair CX 750W 80+ Bronze
Updated to Corsair, thanks Sn1992!
I'm from sweden so I cannot benefit from the deals on newegg or similar sites. I'm going to find the best price on each part on my own.
I'm thankful for any advice you can give!
