Hello,
Around a year ago, I built a pc for the very first time. This one was for my girlfriend. Now a year later, my laptop has been having quite a bit of issues and I'm getting more and more jealous of her gaming rig. Truth is though, hers is just a bit too expensive and I've been trying to make some budget cuts: save money without losing too much performance if you catch my drift.
Her PC consists of the following:
I was also astonished by the fact that most parts are actually more expensive than a year ago (accumulating to around 200 euros extra).
I just want to have around the same gaming experience, but stay around the 1000 euro mark, including the case, etc (hers was around 1200).
For instance, the i5 4690 is slightly cheaper and I'm not planning on overclocking anyways. Do I really need a 750W power supply? I've read that the Z97 is just really good so I'll probably keep that, but what other minor changes could I make?
