Hey everyone,
I'm putting together my first mid-high end computer. So far I have narrowed some of the components to the list below. What I'm in need here is confirmation that I have made good to solid choices, or in the event of a poorer choice, a suggestion or full on correction to a component better suited to my needs, or better for the build, or best bang for the buck and including suggesting other components to finalize the build.
The catch here is the following: Being a student who travels from college to home and vice-versa every weekend (130km~80miles) I feel more inclined to building a mAtx platform in order to minimize the hassle of weekly relocation. The main use of the computer will be gaming along with college work and hobby/amateur level photo and video editing.
As for the components chosen so far:
GPU: GTX 780
Motherboard: Maximus Gene VI - C2 revision(very open to any suggestions)
CPU: I5-4670k
As for storage, i'm interested in a rather standard SDD + HDD arrangement, with perhaps a second SSD of 60 gigs solely dedicated to cache the HDD.
To be fully honest, i'm not the most savvy guy in the IT area, so i'm looking forward to any and all suggestions.
As a final point, I'll leave here a maximum budget of how much I have to spend, i ask only for everyone to keep in mind that the budget must include a monitor and all peripherals.
Budget - 1850€ (1500£ - 2500$)
(PS: I do apologize if I'm not posting this in the correct section)
