Hi, Tomshardware.
I'd like to hear some advice on this fresh build I just assembled to replace my old pc. I'll use it for pretty much everything. Especially for gaming (battle field 3, far cry 3). I'm not going to do any major upgrading for at least couple years, so I hope this build will last me until then.
I'll overclock my cpu to 4ghz.
I'll buy everthing during the next 2-3 weeks. I hope with your advises I'll be able to get the best value for the money.
*Motherboard: Asus z87 plus - $144 ( but the z87 pro seemed like a better choice with wifi but just $30 more, should I get it instead?)
*CPU: i5 4670k - $225
*Ram: A-Data XPG V2 16GB DDR3 1600 - $139
*GPU: EVGA GTX 780 Classified - $699 (Will SLI later on)
*CPU Cooler: Cooler Master 212 EVO (Planning to go water cooling later on)
*SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 128Gb - $122
*HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB - $59
*PSU: Corsair RM 1000w - $199 ( Is this psu enough for me for GTX 780 SLI and liquid cooling- need extra watts for pump and heatroom and everything)
*Case: Fractal Design Arc Midi r2 - $64 ( would this case give me enough space to work with, I can go with the arc xl for just $30 more, would that be a good idea).
Wonder if I can get the same (or even better) performance for less money?
