First gaming/editing build - Please Help before I order

juve9le · May 20, 2014

Hello the Community,

So I finally put all the parts I wanted for my build. I did this using different websites (as I live in Switzerland) and was able to have a full build for around 1050$ (yes prices are high in this country...).

I wanted your opinion on it and also wanted to know about "custom" cables, you know those sleeves cable for the PSU. How does it work exactly ? Which one should I get to have a "clean" and nice build?

Thanks so much guys

juve9le :

Go with an Asus H81m-K motherboard. It's cheaper then the b85 chipset you mentioned (at least in the US) and upgrade the GPU to a r9 270 or 270x. If this is going to be used primarily for gaming, you could even use an i3-4130 and put the savings into a better PSU. I'm not sure if Rosewill is available in Switzerland, but the rosewill capstone 550w is a terrific PSU.

Thanks for the reply and insights, I truly appreciate it.

For the motherboard, the Asus H81m-K achieved the same as the B85 ? (Crossfire possible ?)
The R7 265 is not good enough you think ? I mostly play CS:GO so I figured it would be ok.

As I plan on editing video isnt the i5 a better option ?

If you plan on crossfiring/SLIing, this board will not work for you. I would suggest getting a better single GPU as well over many cards due to power requirements and driver issues. Also you didn't mention you were using this for video editing, so stick with the i5.
