Hello everyone,
I'd like to have your opinion on this build before I go and buy it.
Some context:
This is primarily a gaming rig, for cpu/gpu intensive games (Civ5, BF3, that kind of stuff)
I'm living in thailand so I have to be careful with overheating (minimum 27°C in my room) and have to limit my choice to what I can find here: http://computeandmore.com/pricelist.php.
I want a microATX case because it will be more convenient for me.
I want to optimize cost/preformance ratio and plan to upgrade this in 2 to 3 years by only replacing the gpu.
I settled with this:
CPU - Core i5-4440
Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Mobo - GA-H81M-S2PV
RAM - G-Skill DDR3 Sniper 4GB x 2 1600
SSD - Samsung 840 EVO 250GB
GPU - HIS HD7950 IceQ Turbo 3GB
Case - CoolerMaster N200
Power Supply - XFX 550W Plus Bronze
+ Wifi + DVDR
For a total of 30730 Baht, equivalent to 750 euros or 1000$.
This will be coupled with a 23" AOC screen http://computeandmore.com/productlist.php?id=2812.
Do you think this is a good solution ?
Do you see a way of cutting the cost a little ?
Will the HD7950 overheat ? I read that it is preferable to take nVidia cards for micro ATX build.
Thank you very much for any advice you can give
