Need help - W/ First Gaming PC build
Hi guys, I'm looking build my first gaming PC - I need advise on what to purchase and I want to give it a shot. The PC I currently use (bought 4 years ago), I went to a computer hardware store, and had asked them to assemble a computer for me, but I wasn't satisfied, since during those days I use to play WOW, which would run on low-medium graphics. So no idea if they had put in parts compatible with one another.

I am a casual gamer (Since I'm only free on Sundays or during public holidays). But would love to play games on High-Max settings. I like to play MMOs (GW2, want to play Archeage and Bless Online when its release, Black desert if possible), MOBA style games and maybe even Battlefield4.

I have heard good things about the new 900 series nvidia card. So I'm looking for a PC build around those cards, that would last atleast 4-5 Years and support games for future games aswell.

This new computer will require everything except keyboard/mouse. Lastly, I live in Thailand (expat) so my budget is around 50000 Thai Baht.

http://tkcom99.com/pricelist.php - It would be easier for me to calculate, if you guys could refer to this site.

I appreciate any advise and suggestions,
Thank You

600 Watts is more than enough considering the maxwell GPU's are more power efficient than the Kepler. If your Cable Management is good then cooling won't be a problem in the Ronin Black.

Thank you guys, appreciate your response. If I was to include a monitor (+/- THB.2000 to the current budget). Also is no extra cooling required (or the case itself provides enough cooling). Lastly, is 600W enough to run everything?

I haven't been on the EVGA page and I didn't see this. Definitely go with plywrlw's suggestion.
