Hey guys and girls,

I have been doing alot of research lately about what components to buy for my new gaming pc. The budget is around €1200 which is as you know not the highest of budgets but I believe that it is enough to make a good gaming pc. Knowing myself I always want to get the best out of my buck so thats why ask you guys if you can maybe come up with a better configuration for my pc or make some alternations to my suggested configuration. Keep in mind that the budget is €1200 so please dont come up with suggestions that make it go €100 over budget.

My suggested configurations:

Case: Corsair Graphite 230t black window
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-ZA97x-Gaming 5
CPU: Intel core i5 4690k
GPU: Asus GTX770 2GB
Power supply: Corsair CS650M
RAM: Corsair vengeance DDR3 1600Mhz
Processor cooler: Scythe mugen 4
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-27F1ST
Extra cooling: Corsair AF120 quiet edition
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO
HDD: Western digital caviar black 2TB

As you guys might have noticed I am going for a red and black theme here which I personally really like I also like a bit of a smaller case so thats why I went for the Corsair Graphite 230t. Knowing an i7 processor does not add alot to the gaming experience I chose not to use one so I could spend the money on other components like the videocard. So that was it for my part please give me your suggestions and feedback if something could be better or even if it is good as it is.

Curious to hear your feedback and best of wishes,
Jurjen
 
Solution
Mr first thought would be to swap the Asus GTX770 2GB for a 970 4gb if you can afford the extra 40 euro that it will cost , the Perfomance is a big step.
