I need some help putting together a brand new gaming PC that will last for ~4 years (or more with Overclocking).
Approximate Purchase Date: this week.
Budget Range: 1000 euros, there are no shipping costs or tax fees.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: exclusively gaming, stuff like bf4 with max players.
Are you buying a monitor: No, perhaps in 6+ months
Parts to Upgrade: CPU, PSU, Motherboard, HDD (not SSD), RAM, PC case
I will purchase a GPU in about 6 months, until then i won't use this PC for gaming (school stuff).
Do you need to buy OS: No, i have windows 7 64bit
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: i never used any of those US/EU popular websites.
Location: Eastern Europe, Serbia
Generally i am looking more for technical/hardware advice, the 1000 euro budget is perhaps flexible
Parts Preferences: Intel CPU (never AMD), Nvidia GPU (never Ati)
I need 16GB DDR3 of ram (2000+mhz) for some school stuff, and it never hurts
I don't want an SSD right now, it does not increase gaming FPS while i don't care about loading times.
ATX sized mobo with Z97 intel chipset, USB3.0 and best Sata 3 thingy (6GBps i think?)
Overclocking: Yes, when i can't run games at 50+ FPS.
SLI or Crossfire: No, i dislike having multiple GPUs (or multiple HDDs)
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080 or 1920x1200, depending on what i decide at the end
Additional Comments:
- the GPU is not included in the budget, it will be purchased separately.
- the CPU i have set my "heart" on is the Intel i7 4790K
- i have no interest in making my PC look pretty or shiny
- i decided against the new expensive tech (DDR4, broadwell etc..)
- I would like a good HDD like 1TB WD Black 7200rpm 64cache, or something else you suggest (not SSD at this moment)
- I am clueless about PSU and Motherboards, i just don't understand what to look for in one
- An ATX sized motherboard (z97 intel chipset) with a good cooling-oriented PC case around it, but nothing fancy looking is needed.
- aside from USB 3.0, SATA 3 and overclocking support, i do not need anything else on mobo.
Why Are You Upgrading:
I am buying a new PC out of 2 reasons:
1. I need a much much stronger PC for some school stuff i am doing (CPU/RAM intensive, does not need GPU)
2. In about 6 months i will finish that school stuff, get a pricy new GPU and enjoy that gaming beast
Thank you for helping me out
