I want to build a 1000€/$ Rendering/Light gaming pc

[MaximVos]

I want to build a sub 1000€/$ Gaming/Rendering rig.
The stuff I will be using to render is Blender (might change soon), Photoshop, Illustrator and maybe Adobe Premier. For the gaming I play the casual stuff: Cs: Go, LoL, Mc, SCII and some other more demanding games. I'm switching components all the time but now I think I have a good pc for what i want to do with it. (Note: this is my first desktop that I'll be making myself.)

Cpu: Intel Xeon E3-1231 V3 Boxed 257.90€
Gpu: Asus STRIX-GTX750TI-OC-2GD5 179.80€
Ram: Crucial Ballistix Sport BLS2CP8G3D1609DS1S00CEU 127.20€ (Its 16gb to be clear)
Motherboard: Asus H97M-PLUS 89.90€
SSD: Adata XPG SX900 128GB 73.80€
HDD: WD Green WD20EZRX 84.80€
Psu: be quiet! System Power 7 400W 44.80€
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 412S 34.80€
Case: Cooler Master N200 Closed 34.90€
(I live in Belgium, that's why it is in euro)

Please let me know if this is a good rig for what it's aimed at. Thank you!

Hello

Good configuration. My main area of concern would be the power supply. 400W is enough for your build, but I would want a Tier 1 or Tier 2 supply from this list. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html Also, I would consider a slightly bigger PSU. If you get a 450W to 550W supply, then later, you could upgrade to a single powerful GPU like the GTX970 in case your gaming needs expand significantly (a possibility)

I tried finding your PSU on the tier list (here: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html ), but couldn't. JonnyGURU and Hardware Secrets don't review it either. And be quiet! has other units that range from the top to the bottom, so personally, I'd avoid it. That's not saying it's bad, but it's more like saying we don't know it's not bad because there ARE bad be quiet! PSUs.

So, I'd go along to the tier list, find something in one of the top two categories, and then check for reviews at JonnyGURU and/or Hardware Secrets.

If you're not concerned about modularity, the Antec VP-450 is a great unit, and I installed it in my old computer when the power supply failed almost two years ago. It had a good review at Hardware Secrets, with the conclusion page here: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Antec-VP450-Power-Supply-Review/1487/11 . It is, however, completely nonmodular, which I'll admit, I found frustrating.

Here's a pcpartpicker link to it: https://pcpartpicker.com/part/antec-power-supply-vp450

Your English is very good.

Hope that helps!

The Antec Basiq BP550Plus is a good, inexpensive modular PSU if it is available at decent prices where you are.

Oh, and I just learned about this site from another member answering a different thread: http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/PSUReviewDatabase.html

It gives stats, including OEM (who actually made the unit), for lots and lots of different power supplies. Seasonic and Super Flower are the best OEMs.

The be quiet! System Power 7 400W is there. Here's the be quiet! listing: http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page1354.htm

It's non-modular and built by FSP.
