Hi, I am new here in the forum but the website and forum has helped me with lots of problems before.
I think I have a reasonable idea of what I want for my build but would love some extra advice in case I'm missing something obvious or could improve the build.
My pc will be used mainly for gaming and browsing lots of tabs.
My budget isn't set. I'm probably aiming for about 1200 euro or so but mostly I just want to build a good pc that gets value for money so if there is a good enough justification for spending a bit more or maybe a bit less I'd appreciate the advice.
I'll be buying from Ireland or the uk. Mainly that means www.amazon.co.uk or www.komplett.ie.
I like corsair and nVidia but I don't need to get them.
I will be using one 27'' monitor and my old peripherals.
I think I would prefer to run my system at the default speeds but again I'm not sure.
Monitor resolution is 2560x1440 and I hope to get at least one more 1920x1020 screen.
I would plan on building it in the next 3 weeks or so.
CPU:Core i5-4590, I've looked at the i5-4690k but I think if I don't oc it it's not worth it.
Motherboard: asrock Z97 Extreme6 I'm not really sure about this as there are so many different options with little difference between them. From reading other threads I think this might be more than I need but I'm not sure.
GPU: Radeon R9 280X I'm don't really understand the difference between the different brands here as in sapphire or vtx or any others.
Memory: 8gb of Corsair vengeance
Storage: Samsung 840 Series Pro 256GB ssd or maybe the crucial MX100 ssd as many people on this site seem to have recommended it.
A Western digital 2 or 3tb hhd
Power supply: Haven't looked into it yet.
Case: Seen a suggestion or two for the Fractal Design Define XL R2.
If any one also has a suggestion for a good 1920x1020 monitor to use as a second screen.
I'm also not sure if I need to buy a cpu cooler or if the stock cooler is fine if I'm not overclocking it.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
