Is this a good deal?

Ananaz · Jan 22, 2017

Hi! I was wondering is this a good deal?

https://www.voelkner.de/products/947599/HP-Midi-Tower-PC-Pavilion-560-p069ng-Intel-Core-i5-i5-6400-4-x-2.7-GHz-8-GB.html

All the specs seems good for my usage! I will use After Effects and Photoshop, and I will make music using FL Studio. I will do gaming too. I will playing on 1920x1080 resolution games like GTA 5, Call Of Duty, Battlefield and Rocket League!

My only concern was the reference RX 480 card. I heard that the card is pretty loud and has a high power consumption. Is this true?

Hmm...

You are spending an extra 70 euros on a pre built.

If you were to buy all the parts separate, you could save some money.

If I would build a PC myself the parts would be like this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tTWJTH

Ananaz :

Seems good, although you won't need a 3rd party cooler, as the i5 comes with one.

Ananaz · Jan 23, 2017

Yes, I know that but I have heard that the stock cooler isn't very good. With the 3rd party cooler the temps will stay lower and it will be quieter.

Ananaz :

The newer Intel stock coolers are pretty decent, actually. Those EVGA BQ psu's are not very good quality, nor do I trust kingston SSD's.

Build in Euros.

Do you mean the new Kaby-Lake ones? And I think I'm going to wait for the i5-7500.

logainofhades · Jan 23, 2017

Pretty sure skylake and kaby lake use the same coolers. There really isn't much difference between the two processors. The 7500 is available, now, but costs more. I was trying to keep close to price of that prebuild.

Okay thanks! What about the Zalman Z1 Neo case? Is it good? And What is the best RX 480 to buy? I was thinking of buying the XFX one if it's on sale.

logainofhades · Jan 23, 2017

As long as it doesn't have a reference cooler design, Sapphire, XFX, and MSI are all good. That case is decent. Has plenty of fans, and looks to have good cable management space as well.

Ananaz · Jan 23, 2017

What do you think about this?

logainofhades · Jan 23, 2017

That is an older Corsair CX power supply, and is not a very good quality unit. Kaby Lake is specced to run DDR4 2400, so I would stick with that. Still wouldn't consider a Kingston SSD. Corsair, Crucial, or Sandisk, would be what I would look at.

Ananaz · Jan 23, 2017

What about now?

Ananaz · Jan 23, 2017

Oh, the PSU is pretty bad. Could you recommend me a good PSU that's semi/full modular?

logainofhades · Jan 23, 2017

Made some changes for you, as I mentioned above.

Ananaz · Jan 24, 2017

Seems ood but I don't need a 600w PSU

Ananaz · Jan 24, 2017

I think this is the final build I will go with: https://www.mindfactory.de/shopping_cart.php/basket_action/load_basket_extern/id/e3515f22175077fd0dd3665145726d231395b5393a69b3c7af1

logainofhades · Jan 24, 2017

That looks pretty good. I have used that PSU, for a friend's build, in the past. Good choice.

Ananaz · Jan 24, 2017

And I don't need to buy a 8-pin connector for the RX 480?

logainofhades · Jan 24, 2017

Ananaz :

No, that PSU has 2x6+2 pins. Those cables are designed to work with cards that have 6 or 8 pin. They look like this.

Ananaz · Jan 25, 2017

Thank you a lot for the advice!

Ananaz · Jan 28, 2017

I think imma wait till summer/fall to build my computer cause I will go to high-school then! Is there any good CPU's coming other than the AMD's new CPU's?

logainofhades · Jan 28, 2017

I am not aware of any other releases, other than AMD's Ryzen.

Ananaz · Jan 28, 2017

Okay! And do I need to buy molex connectors to connect all the fans in the Zalmain Z1 Neo case?

Is this a good deal?
