Hi all,
My intel and asus based pc broke down 'finally' after eight years of service and now during the last few weeks I've been going through forums and reviews to build an affordable but well-performing pc.
I am going to use the pc for music, photo and video editing, in this order. However, sometimes I also end up playing games.
The most important things for me are that there is no compatibility issues every now and then and that I can expect my computer to last for the next eight years with small memory and gpu updates.
This sort of system I've thought:
Case: Fractal design define R4
CPU: Intel i7 3770k
CPU cooler: Noctua NH-D14 SE2011 with additional NM-I3 mounting kit for LGA1155
Mobo: Asus P8Z77-v deluxe
Memory: Kingston HyperX 16GB 2133Mhz
SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB
GPU: Asus GTX650TI-DC2T-1GD5
PSU: Corsair AX750
Additional fan: Noctua NF-A15 PWM
I am very happy to hear your thoughts about this rig but please note that:
*For some reason I am pretty loyal to Intel and Asus
*I know that GPU is not perhaps in-line with the other components. However, I think it should work for my purposes. You think so?
*I will buy a new sound card/ audio interface as well but did not make up my mind yet and do not expect that to be covered over here
*Asus' mobo has wifi GO! feature which I suppose should make it easier to use e.g. Spotify through my iPad and Lumia. Any experiences on wifi GO?
While I would appreciate your ideas of the rig I also need some advices about building the pc by myself. As far as I know it is not rocket science. Do I need any additional screws, wires/cables etc. or should they all be included with the components above?
Thanks in advance!
