Hello everyone,
After getting rid of my "gaming" laptop, I've decided to get myself a new PC configuration, the parts that I have picked currently are:
GPU - Nvidia GTX 1050 TI ( Gigabyte Windforce )
CPU - Intel Core-i5 8400
PSU - Be Quiet System Power 9 600W
RAM - 1x8GB Kingston Hyper XFury 2400RPM
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM
Now, regarding the Motherboard, after some research the most commonly recommended one is the Z370 Type, from which I'm currently considering the "Gigabyte Z370M DS3H"
Which totals out at roughly 1600BGN which should be around 800 Euro or 950 Dollars.
My question is regarding the motherboard, is it a good combination with the 1050 TI and Core i5 8400?
Also, I'm torn between all of the versions like DS3H, HD3 and all of the others, what is the difference? Is it just the connectors that I need to look out for?
I've read and seen statistics that the 8400 is the best "bang for your buck" option and would be surpassed only by the Core i7 processors which are much more expensive and out of my budget.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions for the configuration in general, my mindset with it was "Best bang for your buck", my budget is roughly 1000 dollars.
Thanks in advance.
