Advice For Custom-Built Desktop ($ 1300)

Energyfellow · Jun 6, 2014

Hello,

I'm planning on buying a new desktop. I'm tired of the expensive (low-spec)
prebuild pc's so I decided to go for a custom-built. However I found
myself wrestling with all the different options/technologies ... (I'm more a software guy).

Better safe than sorry, so I ask you guys, could you help me?

I've a budget of around € 1000 (+/- $ 1300). With some requirements:

* The dekstop has to be quiet (The sound of silence ;-). )
* Preferable 16 GB RAM (I often run virtualization software)
* 480+ GB SSD + 500 GB HDD
* Intel processor (Instead of AMD, due to incompatibility with some applications)
* A graphical card with HDMI/VGA (I use a multi-monitor of three screens) (1)

Optical drive, OS and screen aren't necessary ...

(1) I do not game.

Does someone know some good configurations to make the most out of the budget?

Thanks in advance,
Roger

What store are you buying from? Knowing that will help to suggest parts. If you don't know one this thread will point you in the right direction: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1643019/guide-international-users-links-part-stores.html

Would you like to try overclock?

Sorry for my late response.

@g-unit1111, I'll buy it here: http://www.alternate.nl/html/configurator/builder/pc/page.html?tk=6177&lk=10002 (It's mostly in Dutch, hence I didn't mention it earlier.)
@saint19, If it ain't too difficult, I'm willing to give it a try.

Edit: By entering the web page in Bing Translate (http://www.bing.com/translator/), most of the words get translated (it actually does it pretty well).

Let me know if you can see the configuration of this rig: http://www.alternate.nl/html/configurator/builder/structure/finish.html?cmd=orderParts&kind=pcBuilder

Add a case...

@Saint19 Unfortunately I'm unable to see it; it says: "Your shopping cart is empty." (http://puu.sh/9mcIh/dca195eda4.jpg).

Is it possible to take a printscreen of the configuration (so your work would not be wasted)?
There are two options (Detailed View and Print Version), but I’m sure you already figured that out ;-) (http://puu.sh/9megY/c7a97ef386.jpg).

If you have another idea, let me know ;-).

Yeah, I did not want register so...here is:

You can change RAM and add the case...it is a little more that your budget, but meets the requirements or almost, many of them.
