Hello everyone,

i am making a custom pc and was wondering what it will score out of 10 lets say. And could you please provide suggestions where needed. i previously had an i7 but downgraded to an i5 to save money and yeah. thanks http://evatech.com.au/pcsummary.php?sysid=82355

The PSU is a bit Overkill and the SSHD isnt really worth it. The rest looks fine to me.

AliMickey · Jul 2, 2016

Maxtery :

on the website it says the required power is 620 and i should have at least 50-100 extra to make sure.

and for the sshd ill change that to normal hdd. thanks. should i use i5 or i7

Sorry i was wrong. I somehow had a 970 in my head

You're right. Its around 530W Peak so you could go with a 600W.

Sure you can go with an I5 if you just Play Games it'll be fine and you have more Money to spend on other parts.

Wauh WHAT 2575$ for that thing. That is so overpriced it's not even funny.

AliMickey · Jul 4, 2016

jaslion :

what are you saying though. overpriced???

AliMickey · Jul 4, 2016

btw i edited my build. paying an extra 30 dollars for 700watts is no big deal. http://evatech.com.au/pcsummary.php?sysid=82355

The same computer can be had for 1000$ less if you build it yourself.

I know the AUS dollar is kinda messed up but that price tag is at least double of what the parts cost.

Well the gtx 980ti is 700-800 dollars Aud on the market. I'm getting a 400 off and I checked Facebook reviews and every are all 5-4 stars.

The Australian Dollar is currently 0.75 US Dollars. So the AUD to USD price conversion would be 2574AUD -> $1931USD. I'm not an expert on the Australian computer parts market, but I would think that same price tag should get you a GTX 1080 and i7 6700K if you built it yourself.

Anyway, that's not why you made the thread. In response to OP, I'd give it the following score:
Raw Performance: 8.5
Versatility: 7.5
Value: 7
Aesthetic: 8
Cooling: 9
Overall: 8.5/10

wbattel4607 · Jul 4, 2016

Also, just food for thought, the reason the 980Ti is on sale is because all vendors are lowering prices to get rid of them before the 1080Ti rolls out.

AliMickey · Jul 4, 2016

Thanks for your rating. I think I'll go with the site since it comes with warranty as well. It's better than building it my self and there's is hardly any difference between a 980ti OC and a 1080. But thanks for your reply.

AliMickey · Jul 4, 2016

And I know why they are on sale too. Since the new 1000 series came in.

AliMickey :

Sorry but that price is outrageous.
I built a monster, with everything overkill, for far less.
Xeon 6 core 3.8ghz cpu, 32GB ECC Ddr4 Ram, 400 Gb intel 750 pcie nvme ssd, 2x Samsung 500 GB 850 EVOs ssds, and 2x 4TB hgst hdd , 1200 watt superflower psu, 4K screen. And a 40 lane MB with 6 pcie slots!
Come on you dont even get an i7.!!
Looks like one of the worst deals ever!

Firstly are you in Australia. And how much was it?

If only ... I live in "Rip off Britain, where a $500 cpu costs £500 forget the 1.6 exchange rate. This is the most expensive place for electronics. I could fly to the states stay over night at the Waldorf and fly back and save money!

Wow. I can't thank you enough to the time you spent for me. Thank you. I will certainly now consider making it myself. Thank you

If you do opt to build it yourself but were already willing to pay that $2500 price tag, consider upgrading to a 6700K since you said it's originally what you wanted but decided against because of the cost. To that same point, a GTX 1080 is also food for thought. Good luck- and don't hesitate to ask for further help.
