Greetings and thanks for taking the time to help me finding a good PC build.

Approximate Purchase Date: In the next 5 days.

Budget Range: 1500 - 2000€

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming (looking forward to Battlefield 4), Watching movies and TV shows, Working (I'm studying Computer Science).

Are you buying a monitor: Yes, but I can't decide between:
- a 27" - 30" monitor
- 3 24" monitors
- or something with 120 hz
I don't know which would fit in my budget while also not overpowering my PC.

Parts to Upgrade: None.

Do you need to buy OS: Yes a Windows 8 copy.

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: hardwareversand.de, conrad.de or really any website in Germany in that list:
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-1643019/guide-international-users-links-part-stores.html

Location: Berlin, Germany

Preferences: AMD since there will be special support for Battlefield 4 (a Directx substitute called Mantle)

Overclocking: Maybe, I never looked into it but I wouldn't mind if needed.

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe.

Additional Comments:
I would like to be able to play Battlefield 4 and other games without worrying to much about fps, or maybe even with 120 fps (if somehow possible).
I would also like to be able to enjoy movies and TV shows on it.

I much appreciate your help and greetings from Germany!

I Hope this works: http://de.pcpartpicker.com/p/1HO83 I have dealt with amazon.de in the past. Have a friend in the Munich area. Unintentionally made her mad one night and she broke her headset. Felt bad about it, so went over there and purchased another for her as I felt bad about it. Also got her a cooler as it was on her wish list and I knew it would be sometime if ever that she would get it. Added a Monitor that should do well. It is full HD and IPS.

Thanks for the suggestions, but isn't a better monitor possible? Something like a 1440p (27") monitor or a 24" monitor with 120 hz would be nice. Or is this simply unrealistic at that budget?

Yes we can add another 27" monitor, this is perfectly balanced PC also with this CPU cooler Noctua you can get 5.0Ghz don't worry overclocking FX 8350 couldn't be easier.

Anything is possible but if we add 3 TB HDD instad of that 2 TB it's gonna be slower, also yeah some of 27" monitors look bad with 1080p but I'm sure that BenQ model is looking good, still we can swap them for two 22" 1080p monitors.

Not tyo my Knowledge. I know some using a 26" Monitor at 1080P or Higher res and they have no complaints. As for 120 Mhz, don't really need it unless you plan to go 3D. With the GTX 6820 Card, it wil do quite well on it's own without going sli ( I am running one in this build ).

If I take this build, but use this monitor http://de.pcpartpicker.com/part/benq-monitor-xl2720t instead of the two above, do you think I would be able to get well over 60 fps in games like Battlefield 4?


@coastie65: I want an AMD GPU so I can take advantage of their partnership with Battlefield 4.

That configuration will be able to hit 60fps in games like Battlefield 4, keep in my that you will need to adjust the color/brightness on that BenQ 120MHz model, it's gonna take you some time but noting to worry about, don't forget to select best answer and OC the CPU you have great OCing MB and Cooler.

I did some research and it seems like the BenQ XL2720T is a good choice (especially with LightBoost).
But since I really don't know much about this stuff I would really appreciate a second opinion on the rest of the build (just to make sure).
Thank you.

It looks good. Went I did my list, I went with the 6350 for cost purposes which allowed for a higher capacity SSD. ASRock is a good Motherboard, and That was my fiorst thought, but not overly familiar with the AMD socketed stuff as I generall use Intel. Anyway, it looks pretty solid and should be a good one.

I will, but unfortunately I have additional questions to ask. Is there a good substitute for the tower (since the Thermaltake Chaser MK-I is currently unavailable)? And can you recommend me an optical drive since I need one to install the OS?
Also would be the soon coming AMD Radeon R9 290X (http://videocardz.com/46115/amd-radeon-r9-290x-cost-similar-gtx-780) together with the cheaper Asus VG248QE monitor a good alteration of the build?
Thank you once again for helping me.

If you are not in hurry waiting for Radeon R9 290X is good idea, I'm pretty confident with this budged we'll be able to fit the R9 290X. Take the optical Drive from old PC until you install the OS or buy cheap optical drive since you won't use it much there is no point to buy expansive one.

Can you recommend me a drive?
And what about the tower (it is much more expansive in other shops then hardwareversand.de)?
Also are there other alterations on this build possible that make it a little less expensive with the same quality (maybe the price of some stuff will drop until the R9 comes out or something like that)?
