I have few questions. I am just building my new 400€ budget PC. But its first time for me and I am not sure about compatibility of some components.
1. I am not decided between these two motherboards: MSI H81-E33 vs MSI H81-E34. Why is E33 cheaper for about 10 bucks? I checked specs and they are almost same. The only difference seems to be in USB 3.0 connectors on rear panel. Is there any other significant difference?
2. If I pick MSI motherboard can I use only MSI graphic cards? Cause I planned to buy GIGABYTE R7 250 Ultra Durable 2 2GB. Is this compatibile with motherboards mentioned above?
3. Are those motherboards compatibile with HX316C10FBK2/8 or KVR16N11S8K2/8 RAM?
4. Is 400W PSU enough (Zalman ZM400-LX) or I should go for 450W (Corsair VS450) for this:
- Intel i5-4460
- 8GB RAM
- AMD R7 250 2GB
- 1TB HDD
- 25W repro
I will use PC mostly on video editing/rendering. I play games only occasionally and I am not interested in playing latest games on highest specs
Thanks for any advice.
