Hey there,

it has been a long time, since i have been building some *. So i wanted to make sure nothing changed and Intel is still the best in the field of CPUs (jk, ofc they are)

He is looking for something in the 890$ range. I did some work and this is what I chose:

Keep in mind please, that i no longer watch the trends, so thats why i am asking you what u think.
Also, sadly lot of shops on PP dont actually ship to European countries, so i am buying these parts in Czech shop (hence the 550$ price on PP).

I feel pretty confident about it, although i have no idea if Coolermaster PSUs are as good as ppl on the net say... Thanks for all the advice friends.

P.S. Nvidia biased...

<Language, please>

Admirable


its a fine build all in all, I would say replace that PSU with something more reliable and also the aftermarker CPU cooler isn't needed as you cant overclock that CPU save him some money and use the stock cooler :) as far as PSU's look at anything made by SeaSonic or XFX both of these brands are super high quality.

I pretty much agree with Hawkshot, and on the same points. If you're not overclocking, the stock fan should be fine. Cooler Master makes some good PSUs, like the VS series, some are less good. I'm not sure what choices you have in the Czech Republic, but seasonic and Superflower are solid choices. You can find a lot their PSUs under brands like XFX, Antec, and EVGA(especially the Supernova GS and G2). It might be easier if you could list what power supplies you have available.

Other than that, you have a very solid budget build. I might want to get something a little more reliable than the Seagate, but I can't really fault it in a budget build.
 
If you have problems finding some stuffs in Czech, try ordering from neighboring countries such Germany or Poland.
You can also simply order the parts in those neighboring countries and pick them yourself by car.
I dunno where you live but Prag is not hell far from Münich or Nürnberg as example.
I think you know these already.

btw...I saw that in your link, a lot came with US prices. Well...European prices are slightly higher than those in USA.
