1000€ mATX gaming PC build

jaantti · Mar 10, 2015

I would like to have some help building gaming PC for 1000€.

It should have 16GB RAM and for storage either larger SSD or smaller SDD + HDD. I do not plan to overclock the system. For graphics card I prefer nVidia (but that is because I have had bad experience with ATI/AMD). All of this should fit in mATX case.

I only need a PC, no software, monitor, etc.

Your help is appreciated.

Can you tell where would you like to buy the components?

Anyway, here it is: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/L8FnFT
Total - $1028.03
If you want your computer to make less noise and cool better, keep the CPU cooler. If you dont want, remove it, however, I recommend.

I'm from Estonia, but I do not have a preference of where to buy.

Problems with your build
- Haswell CPU with Haswell refresh mobo. Not a big issue, but bios update needed and 4770 had thermal issues
- bad psu. Low quality

Bossyfins :

Are you telling that the Corsair CX600 is low quality, one of the most respected on the market?
Then I replace by an i5, here it is.

Bossyfins · Mar 10, 2015

Yes. I am flat out saying Corsair now sucks. Except their cases/ssds.

They worked hard to make a good impression, and now they are making a fool out of themselves.

And yes, h97 needs a bios update in order to work with haswell. If it is haswell refresh, then it is different.

RafaSimpsons :

The Corsair CX series uses poor capacitors and has a potential to fry your system. Get an XFX 650W or Seasonic 620W power supply.

Bossyfins :

He's correct there have been serious issues with the CX series they do not last nearly as long as they should.
