Hello,
I'm looking to buy a new pc that will be mainly used for gaming (mostly shooters). I have the following build in mind
Fairly certain of
- gpu: Asus GTX970 (never had problems with Asus, heard that MSI 970 has coil whine problems, Gigabyte seems to have a decent card too but I'm not familiar with that brand)
- cpu: Intel i5 4690K
- cpu cooler: Sycthe mugen 4
- motherboard: Asus Z-97A
Not so sure of
- HDD: Western Digital 2000GB Black => or perhaps red or green?
- SSD: Samsung 256Gb 850 Pro series => I am not familiar with SSD, is this a good choice (some people recommend me Crucial MX100 or M500) - will only be used to boot Windows
- memory: Corsair 8 Gb Vengeance Blue Pro 1600MHz => I have a hard time deciding on the memory; I am happy with my current Corsair set but read good things about G. Skill too. Should I go for LP heatspreader?
- case: my biggest problem, there are so many and the more I read the more difficutl it is to choose; I am looking for a case that offers good air flow, is spacious and above all silent. I currently have an Antec P90 but looking for another one (preferably Cooler Master, Antec or Corsair) - any recommendations?
- power supply: Corsair CS650 - 650 W - honestly I just picked one, they all look good
So basically I need some help regarding SSD, memory, case and power supply - thanks in advance !!
