Hi guys,

Well, my old pc is... old, and i've recently started having problems with it shutting down due to high temperature. So i started looking around for good parts that can be combined in a system that will last some time and will as well be upgradeable... It's been some time since i've been "up to date" on the latest hardware , so it's a pain in the ass. Anyways, i've found some "stuff" and I'd appreciate your oppinion and/or suggestions.

CPU: Intel core-i5 4570 4gen
MOBO: ASRock Fatal1ty H87 Performace
GPU: Sapphire HD 7870

I also like Zalmann Z11 Plus Case(i mean its looks) so it would be good if it is in the final list. I suppose the rest of the components can be debated. Also, I'd like to hear your thoughts on multi monitors

I should also mention that i'm not really fond of overclocking but it's up to you to convince me otherwise. And lastly, the total cost shouldn't be more than 1000€(i live in greece but would gladly order the parts from amazon uk)

Thanks in advance :)

I feel multi monitor have both pros and cons. Like the price for really good monitor for the setup can cost over $1000. Another thing to mention is the bezel of the monitor. You need a really slim bezel on a multi monitor setup to make it look natural.

This, you'll need to spend at least $100+ on a decent monitor that'll make it look dope as fk.

Well he he never say he needed a monitor or an OS. But if he does he can drop the 780 to a 770.

Thanks, seems good but will the PSU wattage be enough for the GPU? Also, does the GPU have a better value than AMD's one with about the same performance? I've always had ATI/AMD GPU's so i'm a bit tied to the brand. Wouldn't mind changing if it's worth it, though. What about overclocking? As for the monitors i don't really want them for having a larger screen but i heard i can i.e. use the one to play a game and at the same time have my browser or other windows open.

AMD is better for multi monitor due to their software but not major differences. Another thing to mention about AMD is the new Mantle thing that going to come out. If you wanna play Mantle games than AMD would be better but still no real solid evidence yet.
