Hello gentlemen,
I've built this system after I did some research, but I am not good in HW, so I would like to ask you for some feedback. I really appreciate your help you, thank you very much!
Approximate Purchase Date: this week (as soon as I/you choose the best parts)
Budget Range: cca 1000$ (I am from Czech Republic and prices here are quite different, so it's just estimate)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: It will be mostly workstation for me - programming in Netbeans/other IDE + Internet with 15+ tabs + running localhost server + Photoshop and other cca 10. running programs. I would like to play occasionally games, but I definitely don't require high details etc. The work is more important than games.
Are you buying a monitor: Yes, but I have different budget for it, I chose:
LG IPS235P
Parts to Upgrade: Buying new PC from scratch + LCD monitor. I got peripherals.
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: none, I will buy it from czech ecommerce site
Location: Czech Republic
Parts Preferences: none
Overclocking: Maybe [if it's worth it, e.g. overclocked i5-3570K vs. i5-3570)
SLI or Crossfire: I think it's has no point for me now, maybe after few years? (correct me please if I am wrong)
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920 x 1200 would be nice
Additional Comments: I would like to have this computer another 3 - 4 years (for work), so I am trying to build computer with enough performance to cover my requirements for PC. Having a computer where I could play new games (Skyrim, Call of Duty etc) would be great, but I don't expect to play such games on higher details.
I also built a cheaper system, with CPU i5-3750, motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V LX2 - Intel Z77 and without CPU cooler. But I am not able to say, whether this cheaper build will be enough for me next 3, 4 years. What do you think?
Why Are You Upgrading: my old notebook died.
