Hello,
I would like to build my first desktop from scratch, but i’m absolutely new to this. Would like to have your suggestions regarding PC parts as i know little about them. Just know what i would like to have at the end. Would be grateful if you could come with some food for thought or advices
I’m looking at decent home desktop. I definitely don’t need powerful gaming rig as i don’t play much games, but from time to time could try one thou. I want the machine to be stable, durable, processing flawlessly what i need - office apps, browsing internet, music, HD video data streaming/watching, photo processing. In sum – want the computer that would work like a charm and do what i need. I am not going to overclock it and play games on high fps, but want it to serve for 4-5 years without major upgrades at least.
My wishes
• Graphics – something decent, that would allow to play games sometimes, but not the high end card.
• CPU – as mentioned, not going to overclock it, but want it not to be outdated in a few years. Intel Haswell series is probably the way to go?
• HSF – for safety were thinking of getting aftermarket one
• Motherboard – something reliable with decent features and enough SATA ports, maybe also USB 3.0
• RAM – would like to go with 8 GB Corsair
• HDD – reliable 1 TB disk
• SSD – reliable brand 120/128 GB
• Power supply – power efficient, low noise, durable. How many watts do i need really for what i’m going to do?
• Case – spacy, with good airflow and made from quality material. Was looking at some Corsair models actually.
Would really appreciate any advices for compatible specific parts for above mentioned positions!
Thanks in advance!
My budget is around 700-800$
