Hi guys
i wanna make a new gaming computer (desktop) (actually my first) and i need some help with all the components.
I'm a total computer knownothing actually but since i cant find any decent computers around that look nice and are prebuild i'm thinking of composing one myself make it of let someone make it not figured out yet since like i said i know nothing of making a nice and cool looking PC.
My budget is up to €1500 that's like $1875 at the moment.
The main usage will be games since i have a crappy laptop for the easy stuff
Since i have a laptop i will need a monitor+mouse+speakers and also a OS (win 7 Home Premium i guess) and these must also fit into the budget.
I live in Belgium so about shipping costs i'll worry later on and maybe look for a store in belgium that sells all the components.
I prefer Intel as a CPU but i have no idea what one to choose.
I heard about overclocking but i have no idea how to do that so i might need to find someone who can do that for me then.
Well now i'll say what i thought about and what i know i want (i'll try explaining what i want in human language since i'm not familiar with the names of all the items .
Case: well since a pc also needs to look cool in my oppinion i would like a "matt" if that is the right word (not shiny) black case with a see-through side panel and with blue LED's and at the bottom i want like 2cm stands so that there is some air circulation under the PC.
MotherBoard: i lack the knowledge to choose a decent one.
Graphics card: i honestly have no idea what i can get within the budget and is good and reliable.
CPU: same as Graphics card, some say I5-2500K others say I7-3770K and then others say totally different things.
RAM: i was thinking about 2 4GB Corsair Vengeance Blue DDR3-1600 (blue because it would fit in the case (the eye also wants to eat is an expression we kinda use).
Power Supply: Corsair TX750 750Watt.
Storage: 1 128 GB SSD (maybe more then 128 GB don't know actually, but not less) (with the OS on it and my main game(s).
+1 1 TB HDD (i heard Western Digital ones are good) (for all other storage needs).
Optical drive: some cheap one that does the job.
Card reader: all in one (i heard they are like $20 so why not take one).
CPU cooler: i thought about water cooling but i would like with neon-blue pipes and such for the looks but i have no idea how to make a water cooling system so i'll need some help with that when building it if i go for that path.
Also i want a monitor(not too big don't wanna rebuild my entire room for it ) +mouse (+mouse mat (or whatever it's called))+keyboard+boxes that fit with the black and blue style.
I think i left the most important parts open and that's where i need the most information.
Now i think i'll let you all loose on this budget.
Any comment is welcome and so is any advice.
I'm hoping for some nice advice and tips and tricks.
