Hey guys, I'm finally decided to build my own pc after 10 years on sitting on the fence, building computers for others etc. I'm from Norway so the prices may or may not apply everywhere. Anyway I found out, using the UK pcpartpicker the prices are almost identical, so use that for a reference to recommend other parts.
Primary goal is gaming in 1080p on decent setting, some gameplay recording but not planning to be the next JackFrags, so approximately 1-2 video every other month. No heavy OC planned, maybe as the build age, but think I'll do with stock cooling. Any thoughts on OCing the RAM,GPU, CPU here is appreciated.
Currently I have no monitor, expect for my 55" Sony W900A because of space restraints. It is supposed to be a great gaming TV, so I think I have to do with this for now.
Might get a 120hz monitor down the line, aswell upgrading to 16GB, but I think I'll save that for now.
Storage is already taken care of.
Aesthetics is a bit important to me, so matching colours is a bit of a concern (no neonlights) and cable management. A bit worried about the cx750m as I've heard it has short and hard cables.
I see alot recommend the 280X over the 770gtx, but here they are at the same price, and I like the shadowplay feature of Nvidia. Also maybe I'll go for SLI in a few months
This setup is currently my budget also, but may go up to 750£
Bottom line: I want to get most for my money, while having the possibility to upgrade, OC as it ages, and getting a clean, tidy build. So any recommendations or changes I need to think of?
Should I wait for Broadwell, 800-series for either performance or a price-cut in this gen-hardware?
Here is my current build:
