Hey guys!
I really, really don’t know anything about PCs. Like, at all. Until a couple days ago I couldn’t even name the parts. I still decided to build my own gaming pc in the next month or so and would very gladly appreciate it if some of you could maybe mentor me a little bit and look over my parts. I tried to do my research, but I am not really confident and don’t want to spend the money on parts I can’t use.
What I plan to do with my PC: I want to mainly use it for Photoshop (my boyfriend would draw digital art with Wacom Tablets on it too) and Gaming (Fast paced FPS, but also games that are more heavy on the graphics department, like Witcher or Skyrim). I'd like it to be able to play new titles coming out from now on too. Until now I only played on Nintendo and Playstation consoles.
I’d like a good graphic (was reading a bit and thinking that QHD might be the right choice?) and want a monitor and PC that would support that. I do not plan on using a Screen bigger than 27’’ or two screens, no room on my desk for that. (Just in case that would make any difference concerning the parts).
I was also thinking about maybe doing some streaming or at least recording some gameplay, so I would like a PC that supports that.
It would be great to be able to play a couple years without upgrading anything.
So, sorry about the rambling, here is my list so far:
1. Intel Core i5 7600K or Corei5 7500 (Do you guys think it’s worth it to go for the newer/more expensive one?
2. EKL Alpenföhn Brocken 2 (Sorry, I am from Germany, I don’t know the English Term for it)
3. ASUS Prime Z270-A OR the ASRock Z270 Pro4 (Which one would you prefer?)
4. Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB
5. KFA^2 GeForce GTC 1070 EX
6. Western Digital Blue 1TB
7. Crucial MX300 525 GB
8. Corsair Carbide Series 300R or NZXT Phantom 410, undecided when it comes to that.
9. EVGA SuperNOVA G1 750 Watts
Is everything compatible? Am I forgetting a part? Would you guys swap any oft he named parts for different ones? If there is any way to cut the cost without losing performance I would be very happy to hear about it too!
When it comes to monitors I have been looking at some used ROG Swift PG278Qs, do you guys think it’s worth the buck and is it compatible with the rest of my gear? Are there better fitting monitors out there?
And although this post is already far too long, what kind of keyboards and mice do you guys recommend?
Alright, I am finally done. Sorry for making you read all of this. Thank you so much in advance!!!
