What would be the best combination?

JP7PlaysMC · Feb 13, 2014

Hello everyone! I've tried posting similar threads but couldn't find a real answer. I'm no computer pro, I know the basics, and I want to configurate my computer using this configurator http://www.globaldata.pt/index.aspx?p=Configurator.
Using this and only this configurator, what would you suggest me.

The computer will be mainly used for multitasking, gaming and to play a bit with the office. The price must include the OS.

If anyone could help I would very much appreciate it!

First you need to decide on a budget. 500$? 1000$?

EDIT: I'm pretty sure not a lot of people can help you if you're stuck on using this configurator: It looks Spanish or something so help yourself and use something like pcpartspicker.com

It is portuguese, the country where i live. Totally forgot to add the budget xD 1150$ or the equivalent in euros, 850€.
Aren't the components understandable? Processadores - CPU Placa de Video - GPU .... if you open any box you'll quickly understand what it is. Thanks for the answer though!

P.S. I would order from the US but I don't know any company that would ship good computers for that price to Portugal, if you do please tell me.

No this is ridiculous. I'll just tell you the parts that I would pick. Only thing you need to do I put it in the darn configurator.

CPU: AMD FX 8350
Motherboard: ASRock 990FX Extreme3
RAM: any 2x4 gb 1600 Mhz on sale
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 760 Gaming
OS: Windows 7/8
PSU: XFX Pro 550W
Case: Corsair Carbide 300R
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPm 1TB
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB

There you go.

Are those all the parts needed to build a totally functional PC? If they are thanks a lot and sorry for the misunderstood

You do need most of those parts, but I really dislike when people generalize on things and you don't necessarily need the SSD right away, you can always add one later on.

This is what I would do for your budget:

Case: Corsair Carbide 200R - 61,90 €
PSU: XFX Core Edition 650W 80+ Bronze - 88,90 €
Motherboard: Asrock Z87 Extreme 4 - 132,80 €
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo - 29,50 €
RAM: GSKILL KIT 8GB DDR3 1600MHZ RIPJAW (CL9 - 1.5V) - 71,90 €
HD: 1TB Seagate Barracuda ST 7200 RPM - 55,90 €
Optical: Samsung 22X DVD Burner - 17,90 €
Video Card: EVGA Geforce GTX 760 - 254,90 €

Total: 941,60 €

BS. I don't believe you can get a away with not having a SSD IMO. Having a CPU would be nice too. And you're over budget by about 100 euro's ,which is a a lot.

Yeah that's a bit too much for me :/ isn't there a more suitable way to do it? I would very much like a GTX 760 and an I5 4570 or better. The other components are my real doubt. Would you suggest anything?

http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-4570-vs-AMD-FX-8350

Look at the benchmarks , the 8350 owns this price point. Refering back to my post above, that's what I would build.

Nice point of view. i'm going to multitask a lot so the fx would actually fit better. I've been for years stuck with Intel and to be truthful I never had the experience of a good AMD cpu. I currently have an E2 Vision that's my only AMD prcessor in a while. I also always have been an Nvidia guy, but currently got an HD7340. Thanks for all the help!

Xiembeest :

Oh you absolutely can get away without having an SSD, It's not BS at all. Sure having an SSD helps but it's not a requirement for a build. It's more of a luxury than a necessity. And on builds less than or equal to the OP's budget I always leave stuff like that off in favor of a better GPU.

And the OP's budget is 900 € and my build is 941,60 €. It's only over budget by a small amount because of an installation fee that site tacks on if you use the part configurator.

"It is portuguese, the country where i live. Totally forgot to add the budget xD 1150$ or the equivalent in euros, 850€."

Quoting directly, you're 100 euro's over budget bro.

I don't know... how much does a ssd cost? Does it impact performance that much. I would very much prefer to invest on an EVGA gtx 760 if so, or even twinfrozen..... I'm sure the max I can go is 900, but that's the real tops. Any other configuration would be very much appreciated

A ssd won't give you any better framerates in game but your system as a whole will be extremely fast. I boot up in 12 seconds for example with my Crucial SSD. Check out the setup I made for above, ther's a twin frozr 760 in there. My total was roughly 850 if I remember correctly but I don't know the prices in Portugal.

And looking over I forgot the CPU. :lol:

Although you could drop down to an i5-4430 with an H87 motherboard, drop the cooler, and then you'd come in around budget.

Yep that is a good enough build for me. I think I'm going with it. The prices here don't diverge that much from what you said. Thanks a lot
