Dear Community,

as I had to move from London to Berlin, I was looking for a new gaming/ working PC system. I tried to inform myself as much as possible about the components. Here is what I would choose: http://de.pcpartpicker.com/p/tPVDhM
Are there any obvious mistakes? Your help would be really appreciated.

Most of the parts would be cheaper, when bying at mindfactory.de. Therefore the PC would be around 800€ and not the 900ish stated at pcpartpicker.com
Furthermore, I would change the PS to Thermaltake Berlin ( which is also alot cheaper), but is not listed at pcpartpicker.

Thank you so much for your help in advance

I'd go with this memory. It's faster and a little cheaper

This is the list we use to recommend power supplies. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html Tier 1 or tier 2 is right for this build.

The one you have is fine.

This is a great Bronze power supply. http://de.pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-s12ii620bronze

Here's a review of the Berlin. http://www.technic3d.com/review/netzteile/1277-thermaltake-berlin-630-watt-netzteil-im-test/1.htm

The summary says it all, so I expect that it's a builder entry-level product.

No obvious mistakes.

Why that particular memory? Memory is pretty much a commodity. You can get CAS 9 DDR3-1600 for cheaper.

I would want to research the Thermaltake Berlin very carefully. Some Thermaltake PSUs are made from great parts for high end use (not necessarily for high price) Other PSUs are made for entry-level or builder grade and use cheaper, less robust components. I ould not want to use a PSU like that in this build.

Thanks for the quick answer. There is no reason for the memory. I just did some research on a hardware website, which recommended the Kingston one. However, Personally I don't mind a cheaper alternative ;)
Which suitable PSU would you suggest?

Thanks

Zugegeben, dem Thermaltake Berlin 630 Watt fehlt es an Ausstattungsmerkmalen und Beigaben wie ein Kabelmanagement, Kabelbinder und komplett ummantelten Kabeln, was sich besonders im Bewertungsabschnitt "Layout und Verarbeitung" bemerkbar macht. Doch für rund 60 Euro ist das Thermaltake Berlin auch eher für die Sparfüchse gedacht die auf der Suche nach einem günstigen und zuverlässigen Netzteil sind. Aber gerade in diesem unteren Preisbereich ist der Kampf unter den Herstellern sehr hat und so locken Mitbewerber teilweise bereits mit einem Kabelmanagement und üppiger Ausstattung. Auch ist das Berlin leider kein absoluter Leisetreter, kann aber dennoch bis zur Volllast mit einem angenehmen Betriebsgeräusch aufwarten. Einzig bei einer Überlast von 33 Prozent (841 Watt) geht es lauter zu, was aber voll und ganz verständlich ist. Vorbildlich ist hier auch die Dokumentation aller Schutzschaltung im mitgelieferten Faltblatt.

Das Thermaltake Berlin hat seine Vor- und Nachteile. Je nachdem ob man auf ein Kabelmanagement verzichten kann ist das Berlin aufgrund seiner Leistungswerte eine gute Alternative für Sparfüchse beim nächsten Computerkauf. Doch wie bereits erwähnt, die Konkurrenz ist hart und schläft nicht!

Thank so much for your help. I just ordered those components. The only problem, which prevents me from ordering the full system is the monitor.

I was wondering, if I would benefit from a 144hz monitor, such as the Asus VG24QE?
I mainly play games like dota2 or work with windows/office.

Do you think I will recognise the improvement from a 60hz to a 144hz monitor?

Thanks

No. I don't think that you will notice the difference (except in a bad way). Lots of output cannot take advantage of that and if you watch standard movies at frequency without special 'slowing down', it looks very strange. Movies are MEANT to be displayed a 24Hz because that's how fast an old film camera works.

The only area you will see improvement with 144Hz, if it is supported by input, is with very fast action sports, like motor racing.

Thanks for your answer. To be honest I hardly watch any movies on my PC, because for this I have my TV. On some gaming sites, the players state that they won't go back to 60hz, once they tried the 144hz experience. I am a little bit confused. However, if there is no or only small improvements i will stick with the 60hz ASUS.

Cheers

You need to look at what games they play, and how 'fanatical' they are about it. If you are still uncertain, read all the reviews and information you can find. This is one of those personal choice things.

My old eyes see no benefit. I would not buy 144Hz. OTOH I don't play FPS.
