New Gaming PC - 600 EURO Budget

[razkaw]

Approximate Purchase Date: 27th of October.

Budget Range: Roughly 600 EU / 820 USD / 5500 SEK.

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Browsing the Internet, Movies, etc. Nothing too serious other than Gaming I guess.

Parts Not Required: Monitor, Keyboard, OS.

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: www.komplett.se

Country of Origin: Sweden

Parts Preferences: Don't much care about the lable, just the best in the price range, atleast 4 cores in the processor.

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: No

Monitor Resolution: 1440 x 900

Additional Comments: I'm not too fussed on going AMD, I would just like something that could run games such as WoW (on Ultra Settings) and CSS, L4D2.

Thanks in advance.

Hej på dig

I'm afraid the 2500K is a bit too expensive for a 600€ budget. Också, http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/261222-13-build-advice

Hej

Okay ;( Oh well I'll follow the guides in that thread and post a new question and try and delete this one (if I can?)

EDIT: Actually I'll just edit it.

That's missing Case, PSU. That budget is kinda iffy for a i5 build, this is the best I could find. Even the 6850 is going to be overkill at 720p-ish resolutions, so that's easy. You may not need the Gigabyte board, feel free to get a cheapo H61 mobo. I picked that one for upgradeability.

i'd try to get at least a 6870 in, if you can

 

[FinneousPJ]

Make note of the resolution he's running.

 

[morgoth780]

Make note of the resolution he's running.

yeah, but he most likely would want to upgrade from that res, but he would otherwise be fine with the 6850

 

[razkaw]

Finneous you're amazing man, the budget was my guideline, but you just made it easy for me.

@morgoth780: I can afford to get that card, and I think I will as I won't be staying with this res forever and I wouldn't want to have to spend unnecessarily in the future.

I've chosen this case: http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=602546

Is it decent?

Still got to look at PSUs.

 

[FinneousPJ]

Seems like a nice case. It's too bad there's only one fan pre-installed, buying more will cost you some.

 

[razkaw]

Alright - found a PSU.

http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=376060

Just wondering if 500W is enough?

Also got two extra 120mm fans.

[FinneousPJ]

It only has two 17A rails, that's kind of on the low side. That site has none of my favourite PSUs really.

 

[razkaw]

This website might have better PSUs, www.webhallen.com

Also a Swedish website, could you recommend me something?

 

[FinneousPJ]

Here's one that doesn't seem too bad. Would allow a GFX upgrade too, to CF in the future: http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=645493#extra two 30A rails.

 

[FinneousPJ]

Heck yea, on sale: http://www.webhallen.com/hardvara/124156-antec_powersupply_high_current_gamer_620w

 

[razkaw]

Sweet! Now the only thing thats stopping me is lack of cash! Pay-day on the 27th
