My list of components

mikemelchers · Oct 16, 2014

Hi there!

I'm trying to build a gaming pc and I have, after a lot of research, a list of components for my PC.
Now I'm curious what other people think of it, because it's my first computer so I dont have a lot of experience. So if there is anything that isn't right or not recommended, please let me know

I already have a Samsung S24D590PLX monitor

Case: Cooler Master Elite 430 USB 3.0
PSU: Corsair RM550
CPU: AMD fx8350
Koeling: Cooler Master Hyper TX3EVO
Moederboard: Asus Sabertooth fx990 R2.0 AM3+
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LP-1600 2x4gb
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB
HDD: Seagate Desktop 500GB 3.5 inch
Optische schijf: Samsung SH-224DB
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 670
OS: Windows 8.1 64bit

Thanks for your help!

Why do you want the GTX 670 when you're planning to build a NEW PC. there are other better performing GPUs at the same range. What's your budget for GPU?

Gracodana · Oct 16, 2014

where are you from as well because we can get prices for parts in your country to build it as cheap as possibal and total budget cause you can do a little better then this.

Agera One :

Well because that card usually costs around 400 EUR, and I got it for like 150EUR. And a GTX670 performs better then a 750 or 760 which I had before. (I checked some benchmarks). And My budget is around 900EUR

I'm from Western Europe, the Netherlands

Agera One · Oct 16, 2014

Okay then. Do you plan to overclock in future?

mikemelchers · Oct 16, 2014

Agera One :

Yes it will definately an option, once I know exactly how to do it. But my first step is to build the PC itself.

But is it okay to buy a 150EUR GTX670 instead of a newer one because I dont think I will get a better one for that price tag

Agera One · Oct 16, 2014

Used GPUs depends upon the no. of hours it was used and load percentages it used to run. If it's from a trusted person, it's okay to buy. Since you'll be overclocking get 600 or 620 W PSU for future proofing, like the https://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-s12g650

PSU Selection (recommended to get units under Tier 1 or Tier 2-A):

I would say get a 1tb hdd and the 550w would be fine even if you overclock

Agera One · Oct 16, 2014

600 W minimum for CPU + GPU overclocking. Fine with 550 W too. I'm saying for Future-proof.

mikemelchers · Oct 16, 2014

Agera One :

So the power is okay? I think I will go for the seasonic instead because it has more watts for the same price.

I will consider 1tb but I think 500gb is enough for me for now, hdd's are not so expensive.

Agera One · Oct 16, 2014

Yes, that's why i posted that seasonic unit. It has more wattage for lesser price than other units.

Gracodana · Oct 16, 2014

keep in mind that games are begining to take 50+gb of space so you really will need more space pretty soon I would say but HDD are only going down in price and who knows maybe we will be getting 1tb ssd's.

Agera One :

Yess

thanks alot for that! and its gold certified

mikemelchers · Oct 16, 2014

Gracodana :

Hmm yea you're right I did not think about that. only a 1tb ssd is so expensive.... for now I will go with a 1tb hdd Thank you!

mikemelchers · Oct 16, 2014

Do the rest of the components look good to you?

Agera One · Oct 16, 2014

I see one of the finest AMD CPU, motherboard and cooler there.

mikemelchers · Oct 16, 2014

Thats that's good to know. You're less excited about the GTX 670? Its not the newest GPU i know...

Agera One · Oct 16, 2014

Yes, more power consumption, old architecture, but still good enough to take all games. Since you're getting for lesser price, no probs

mikemelchers · Oct 16, 2014

Awesome!! I'm so excited to finally build my PC

thanks for your help. If you have any suggestions please let me know

Agera One · Oct 16, 2014

Nope !

mikemelchers · Oct 16, 2014

Alright!

Agera One · Oct 16, 2014

Mind selecting a best answer?

Gracodana · Oct 16, 2014

I've got to say I would like to recommend a newwer card but you can't argue with somthing that good for 150
