Hi
I need some advice from you. Can you help me get my ideal PC? :)

Approximate Purchase Date: this week
Budget Range: 600-650€
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, watching movies and internet surfing
Are you buying a monitor: No

Parts to Upgrade: New PC
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon.es
Location: Spain (Europe)
Parts Preferences: Intel i5 CPU
Overclocking: Maybe (but not at the moment, maybe in a few years)
SLI or Crossfire: No

Additional Comments: I want a quiet PC, I want to use my 5.1 speakers, I want it on a Thermaltake Core V1 box (or similar)
Why Are You Upgrading: My actual PC is older than te moon XD

Include a list of any parts you have already selected with descriptively labeled links for parts. Please do not post only links.

- Thermaltake Core V1 (42€)
- ASROCK B85M-ITX (75€) or maybe Asrock H97M-ITX/AC (107€) (because of the 5.1 speakers)
- Intel Core i5-4460 or 4690k box (depending the final price) (185€ or 230€)
- ARCTIC Freezer 7 Rev. 2 (17€)
- G.Skill RipjawsX 2x4GB DDR3 1600Mhz CL7 (72€)
- Sapphire R9 280 Dual-X OC 3Gb GDDR5 (190€)
- Tacens Radix VII 700W AG 80 Plus Silver (40€)

What do you thing?. Can I build this on a smaller box without being afraid of the heat?
Should I change something or maybe rethink it all.

Can I use my old Tacens Radix II Smart 520 to save some money?.
I already have the HDD and SO, so I don't have to buy any.


Edited: PLEASE someone reply and answer my questions >_<. I need to buy it ASAP!!! Pleeeeeease!! (21 views, zero replys :( )

Never heard of that PSU brand, but skimming over a review, I guess it is ok to reuse. It doesn't appear to be a junky unit. I would go with a GTX 960. It uses less power, and is a bit better than an R9 280.
