Hello. A friend of mine wants to buy a gaming PC so he asked me to help him. I did some research online - mostly in tomshardware - and picked these parts for his PC. I would like some advice / thoughts about it.
Please keep in mind that he won't spend more than ~1.300 Euros and this PC is already @ ~1.325 Euros, so please let me know if you think I should buy a cheaper *whatever*, to buy a more expensive *whatever*, or replace some parts. I know some stuff about PCs but I am definitely not an expert so any advice would be appreciated.
Things I mostly want your advice on :
MB : GIGABYTE GA-H97-D3H --- 109,59 € - Is this good enough for the rest of the build?
CPU : Intel® Core i5-4690 @ 3.5mhz --- 212,33 € - Should I get a cheaper CPU as this PC is 80% for gaming?
GPU : PCX Sapphire R9 290 4GB Vapor-X OC --- 361,37 € - GTX 780 costs ~100 Euros more, should I sacrifice other PC parts' quality to get that instead?
Monitor : LED 23 Asus VX239H-W IPS --- 177,02 € - Is this IPS - 5ms response time better that a LED 2ms Asus of the same price?
Rest of the build :
CASE : Cooler Master Elite 430 + Window Red Fan -- 53,09 €
PSU : Cooler Master G650M 650W --- 74,53 € - Is this too much? I read on the coolermaster webpage that for this build a ~560W PSU is required, but in these forums people suggested much more than that, even for a system running r9 280.
RAM : 2 x DDR3 PC1600 4GB CL9 Corsair Vengeance -- 84,92 €
HDD : Western Digital WD10PURX 1 TB --- 64,94 €
Opt. Drive : CD DVRW Samsung SH-224DB/RSMS --- 23,83 €
Keyboard : CM Storm QuickFire TK --- 88,26 € - Any other mechanical backlit keyboard at the same price range out there?
Mouse : Corsair Raptor M4 Laser Gaming Mouse --- 45,97 €
Speakers : Hercules 2.1 Gloss --- 30,70 €
Also please keep in mind that I can't find better prices for those in Greece so don't bother sending me links
Thanks in advance.
