Hi,
I must admit that I have no experience in building custom desktop PCs and I hope this community can somehow provide some help. I will be mostly using it for programming, Data analysis (MatLab, R, etc) some image editing and music production software (e.g. Cakewalk), and gaming. I have a price ceiling of £ 800 (I live in Britain) not considering a monitor and the following specs come at £786.04 inc VAT:
- Intel Core i5-4460 Quad Core 3.2GHz HD 4600 6MB Cache 84W Processor
- Kingston ValueRAM 16GB 2X8GB Dual Channel DDR3 1600MHz PC3-12800
- Asus Z97-P Motherboard 5th/4th Gen Core i7/i5/i3/Pentium/Celeron 1150 Z97 ATX RAID Gigabit LAN (Integrated Intel HD Graphics)
- Seagate 7200.14 1TB SATA III 3.5" HDD Drive - 7200RPMrpm, 64MB
- Samsung SH-224DB DVD Writer Optical Drive
- CiT 2206 Black Midi Case
- Corsair CX600M Builder Series 600 Watt ATX Modular Power Supply Unit
- Kingston SSDNow V300 2.5" 240GB SATA III Solid State Drive
- Be Quiet! BK010 Shadow Rock Slim CPU Cooler
- Seagate 7200.14 1TB SATA III 3.5" HDD Drive - 7200RPMrpm, 64MB
- EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GT 740 2GB Superclocked Edition Graphics Card
- Creative Sound Blaster Z PCI-E Sound Card
- TP-Link TL-WN781ND 150Mbps PCI Express WiFi Adapter
Would this configuration fit my needs? Any recommendation/suggestion is more than welcome!
Thank you,
I.
