1000 euros gaming system help!

d1versify · Jan 9, 2015

Hello i would like some help for a gaming pc for 1080p and (FUTURE) overclock.
The only things i want are
1. Case
2. RAM (getting 1x8gb is any good? and then getting 1 more in the future?)
3. MOBO
4. GPU
5. CPU
6. PSU

With the extra 100 bucks you can either get an i7 or a better cooler and mobo, but I think this build like this is good enough for any game out there.

i dont need a CPU cooler now and i will actually need a good mobo for future high overclock

so is this asus really enough ?
and a mid tower?

Demosthenest · Jan 9, 2015

Then I would suggest you get a z97 mobo like this one. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-z97a The other mobo is good today but it won't support broadwell. This one will.
Mid tower? What's wrong with it? I've got this case and it's very spacious, I love it.

but this for a little over £200 less... this following build will "game" with 95-99% the performance of the above system.

thanks for your answer
But i want only these!

1. Case
2. RAM (getting 1x8gb is any good? and then getting 1 more in the future?)
3. MOBO
4. GPU
5. CPU
6. PSU

Demosthenest · Jan 10, 2015

So you will be building your custom water loop? Then you would need a full tower, yes.
Get something like the Corsair 750D then.
About the ram, the mobo supports 4 sticks, so it doesn't matter if you go with 2x4 or 1x8.

Diversify, this looks good but I would go with a Seasonic 620 psu, though. And motherboard could be cheaper.

Demosthenest · Jan 10, 2015

nikoli, that's 200 dollars over budget. And he said he wanted a full case for watercooling.

d1versify · Jan 10, 2015

Demosthenest :

yes thanks for noticing! i thought this corsair model was top! isnt it?

Demosthenest · Jan 10, 2015

d1versify :

Kinda lost, what's top?

d1versify · Jan 10, 2015

eeehm corsair PSU .i thought i t was very good

Demosthenest · Jan 10, 2015

d1versify :

It's an ok psu. I would recommend something from Seasonic, they have the most durable psus.

d1versify · Jan 11, 2015

ok man thanks a lot
