Hi all,
so I've decided to build my own gaming pc and with help from other builds/tutorials/guides have gathered a list of parts that I think would suit me just fine:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor - €219.64
CPU Cooler: Arctic Cooling Alpine 11 Plus - €9.90
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97-HD3 ATX LGA1150 - €84.90
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 - €69.98
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM - €52.90
Video Card: XFX Radeon R9 280X 3GB Black Edition Double Dissipation - €229.90
Case: Cooler Master K380 ATX Mid Tower Case - €46.08
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX750B BRONZE 750W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply - €71.57
Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-14 DVD/CD Writer - €15.74
The thing is: I've already reached my budget - ca. 800 EUR / 964.24 U.S. dollars.
With OS still not included here I wanted to know if it's possible to save a couple bucks on some of these parts/changing out for others without affecting the potential performance here so I can buy an OS and later a decent monitor (other peripherals I already have). PC is going to be just for gaming with a thought of possibly OC'ing in the future.
Any advice would me much appreciated, thanks
