[ Your opinion about a desktop ] (reward included)

[Blane]

Hey!

 

I'm planning to buy a new desktop, and even if my budget is not more than 700-750 euros, I've managed to build something good. I want you to see the specs I've chosen and tell me if it's ok, or if I need to change a part/some parts. I want to use the desktop for:

 

- Gaming (not tough gaming though. I play games like cs 1.6, lol, so gtfo -.-)

- Programming (assembly, c, java etc..)

- Storage (I have one 1TB external drive, so I won't need more space, in case you thought about it.)

- I want fast processing, something that an SSD might could help for, but they're expensive and with the current build they're staying out of my budget, I think)

 

So, the build:

(forgot to say, that prices are from Greece, where I live, so, if you want to suggest me a new part, then you might want to check its price in Greece)

And that's all!

If you do want to suggest me a part, or even a new build it would be great. Maybe it's ok for my needs, but there's a chance I find something better within my budget (700-750euros) which is what I want you guys to tell me. If you help me on this, I would reward you with +1 karma. Spam replies will be deleted, spammers will be punished.

 

I'm looking forward for your answers :)

Thanks in advance

Hi blane , my friend. I can see clearly your selected parts are obvious great! Personally i think any change would be useless.  :D

 

[Reptant_]

Let's see

totally agree with GPU/Motherboard/RAM and case ;)

Cooler isn't needed,at all

I would suggest a 4 core i5(like 760 or even the new technology ones,such os i5 2500k (click me!

(this should need an other motherboard too,similar with what u showed us)

 

Giving 155Euro for supply is kinda A LOT.

 

Let me give you my recommendation

CPU: http://www.plaisio.gr/Computers/Hardware/CPU/Intel-Core-i7-2600K-s1155-3-40GHz-8MB-BX80623I72600K.htm  -The best CPU in market,imo(i7 4 core 8 threads)

Motherboard: http://www.plaisio.gr/Computers/Hardware/Motherboards/Foxconn-H67M-V-s1155-DDR3-H67-H67M-V.htm

Supply: http://www.plaisio.gr/Computers/Hardware/PSU/Corsair-Gaming-Series-GS700-700W-PSU-80plus-Certified-CMPSU-700GEU-CMPSU-700GEU.htm

Cooler: What you posted

Case: Maybe a cheaper :)

GPU: What you posted

HDD: Same

RAM: Same

 

Note:I will check prices right now

 

These parts,can go some years without serious upgrades.Since you got a very powerful CPU to handle EVERY need of you

 

 

 

And final price,with what i suggested you,is 742

 

buy a SSD next year and you got one of the more powerful PCs xd

The CPU you're talking about is way more expensive than the one I selected. Even if I lower the price of the power supply to the one you showed me, the price stays a bit high. Don't you think that with the i5 model, I can work flawlessly?

[Reptant_]

i5 without Hyperthreading(a big - to this) will be useless in some time

 

Still,the price is at 742 euros,which are good,for a machine that will be GOOD for some years.

4 core and 8 threads,WITH Huperthreading

 

So,in your PC you have:

 

A supply of 160 euro 800 watt

CPU with 2 cores 4 threads

 

In my PC i have:

 

A supply of 110 euro 700 watt

CPU with 4 cores 8 threads

 

and don't forget that we are talking about I7 2500,totally new techonology,32 mn etc

 

You can't have a 2core PC in 2011

[Intrepid]

well the parts not really match(the mobo is shit)

 

but if you keep it like that i would switch the case to:

Comple se vrisko ;)

[GigiBecali]

Case:http://www.pcgarage.ro/carcase/cooler-master/haf-912-plus/ it costs arround 100Euros.

CPU:http://www.pcgarage.ro/procesoare/intel/core-i7-950-306ghz-box/ it costs 380 Euros.

Motherboard:http://www.pcgarage.ro/placi-de-baza/gigabyte/ga-x58a-ud3r/?ref=related_product 220 Euros.

Cooler:Isnt needed if you ask me.

HDD:Its ok.

RAM:Its ok.

 

Agree with finito SSD rocks :X

I think I'll stick to : http://www.plaisio.gr/Computers/Hardware/CPU/Intel-Core-i5-2500K-s1155-3-30GHz-6MB-BX80623I52500K.htm , which I think is gonna do the work.

HAF cases, really rock hard. I may switch it. What about the mobo? Do you have any suggestions?

I'll stick to 4-cores i5, but I'm thinking about AMD too.

 

Comple se vrisko ;)

 

Thanks, but keep it in english.

 

[GigiBecali]

Check my mobo. [updated]

Also a i7 would rock it worths and the last cent.

I've seen intreprid had the same ideea like me about the case :)

I've checked that, but I need to stay within the budget I talked about. (worked hard to get the money :P)

[Reptant_]

This CPU you linked me,has no Hyperthreading

as i told above,it's a big disadvantage

Since you can get a PC with Hyperthread(which is important) ,especially an i7 with your budget,why not doing it?

 

but i don't say what this cpu isn't good,it's perfect for now

 

about case,i agree with Intrepid

About SSD,don't do it now,you will be able to buy one soon really cheap!

Sry i didn't see it..=/

Don't think like that.

You will need to buy a new CPU in your next upgrade,then!

And you know,among with CPU you must change the whole package xd

 

and this CPU i gave you really really worths it's 90 euro extra,which still don't make the budget exceed 760-800 at any way!

[GigiBecali]

I've checked that, but I need to stay within the budget I talked about. (worked hard to get the money :P)

 

You said arround 700 or 800 with my mobo,cpu and case you cant reach the 700-800 budget.

With the remaining moneys you can buy a hard,ram,power suply the cooler isnt needed the case is AWESOME.

I forgot to ask the Video Card ?
