Some questions about my upcoming new PC

George995 · Oct 20, 2013

CPU: Intel i5-4570(3,2Ghz)
Motherboard: Asus H87-PLUS RETAIL
RAM: Corsair 8GB(1x8GB)
GPU: Asus GT 630(DDR3 2GB)
SDD: Samsung Evo Series 120 GB 2.5"
HDD: I'll only buy SSD
CD-DVD: Asus DRW-24B5ST
You can see above the PC i am about to buy, i've got a couple of questions.
1. Is this system good enough for PC games?
2. If it is good for PC games then what PSU should i buy? What wattage?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!!!

With a Z87 chipset you're paying for advanced features you don't need with a locked (non 'K') CPU so either swap the CPU for a 'K' series (if you plan to overclock) or change to a cheaper motherboard.
The graphics card is terrible, to balance the system for gaming you should be looking at the GTX760/HD7950/R9 270 class of cards at least.
If you stay with a single graphics card 550 Watts with dual PCI-E connectors will be enough: Antec, Corsair, XFX, Seasonic, Silverstone or OCZ. Avoid cheap 'high power' units, they're cheap for a number of bad reasons.

Motherboard's chipset is H87, not Z87 as you said. About the GPUs you advice me to get they're expensive, i can't afford 250€ for a GPU..
I thought that i could buy a cheaper CPU so i can get a better GPU. I am thinking to get a CPU among these: i5-3350P, i5-4430, i5-4440.

I made a lot of changes just to get a better GPU, so i ended up with the system below:
CPU: Intel i3-4330(3,5Ghz)
Motherboard: Asus H87-E RETAIL
RAM: Corsair 4GB(1x4GB)
GPU Asus HD7750-1GD5-V2 1GB
SDD: Samsung Evo Series 120 GB 2.5"
CD-DVD: Asus DRW-24B5ST

And the PSU i choosed is "CORSAIR VS SERIES VS550", i think it's good enough for that system.
