I am planning to buy a new PC, and i am pretty sure that i have all og my parts figurer out, but i would want to be sure, and know if any og you have something better.

Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: this week

Budget Range: 1600 Before shipping

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Heavy gaming, netflix, surfing.

Are you buying a monitor: Yes



Parts to Upgrade: New Build

Do you need to buy OS: No

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: mindfactory.de I live in Danmark, and this seems to be the cheapest place in Europe

Location: Kolding, Denmark

Parts Preferences: Asus\BenQ monitor, Intel CPU, GPU doesn't matter.

Overclocking: Yes

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe later

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080

Additional Comments: I am going to buy the NZXT h440 from caseking.de, which is not a part of the 1600 euro budget. As the h440 has a window i would like the colors to match, as that is important for me XD. BTW i already have mouse, keyboard, Speakers and an os.
This is the build a have come up with so far:

CPU: Intel core i5 4670K:

I also really considered buying the r9 290 because of its amazing value (compared to th GTX 780ti...) but as the h440 has a window i would ikke the components to be as stealth as possible, while looking and perfoming good. But thanks a lot for taking you time to put together a build :)

The R9 is a great value but there's a lot of problems associated with it including heating, driver, and overclocking issues. Anyway here's a build I would suggest (using Danish website Fonix Computer) :

Case: Fractal Design Define R4 - DK 822
PSU: XFX Pro Edition 750 80+ Gold - DK 813
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H - DK 1103
CPU: 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5-4670K - DK 1656
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo - DK 355
RAM: 8GB G.Skill Ares DDR3 1600 MHz 1.5V - DK 691
SSD: 120GB Samsung 840 Evo - DK 761
HD: 1TB Seagate Barracuda ST 7200 RPM - DK 550
Optical: Lite On DVD Burner - DK 253
Video Card: EVGA Geforce GTX 780 Dual Fan ACX Cooling - DK 3897
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium - DK 799

Total: DK 11700

Thanks for the reply.

I really do prefer not ordering the parts from Denmark, because of the very high prices. But do you think that a 780ti would be overkill for 1080p gaming, or is a GTX 780 or r9 290 good enough for the next 2-3 years?

GTX 780 will handle everything on high / ultra for the next 2 - 3 years easily.

And even though the 780 is a bit more expensive, that is a price i would love to pay, to ret rid of those problems.
