Hello there, I want to buy a new desktop as my current one is a bit out dated and I'll leave it to my little brother.

So I came up with a desktop which has the following features.

I would go with Asus rampage IV, an EVGA GPU and of course with some QuadChannel DDR3 Corsair, you don't need the SSD now, you can buy it later.

 

Tho if you insist for the SSD, pick the samsung one with closed eyes

Yeap, I went for the samsung one. 

I'm going to use the SSD for Windows, Office and such stuff.

I want to use the 1 TB disk for games and movies only. 

 

Thanks for your feedback

It's going to be a gaming pc (high-ultra graphs), cod, battlefield and such. 

Plus I'll work on ps and after effects from times to times.

In case you won't do an overclock(witch i suggest you to not) i would delete the watercooling and add an aircooler, and with the extra money that i save from water cooling i would buy some more ram

Gtx 760 & i7 combo won't exactly give you high/ultra graphics in the latest games, it will result in a medium/high graphics with a greater processing power which is not needed in any game yet.

If you wanna focus on gaming, throw an i5 4690k which will save you 100 euros, replace the water cooler with a good air one (around 60 euros profit) and try getting a slightly cheaper motherboard (around 120 euros) which will allow you to overclock aswell.In addition, replace the black WD disk with a blue one since its cheaper and their only difference is that black is a bit faster, which you are not gonna need since you're getting SSD.8 gb of RAM is just fine for gaming and general use, 16gb won't make a big difference, try getting 8gb with higher MHZ (like 1866 mhz or 2133), that will make a difference.

So, with all that money saved, you can get a much stronger GPU (like gtx 970) and you will be able to play any game on ultra graphics and above 45 fps.

 

If you're not gonna overclock, you should buy a locked i5 and an even cheaper motherboard which will save you more money.Also, for 1080p resolution you wont need any stronger gpu.

in my opinion better try cut out some of them because is realy esxpensive with 600-800 euro you can get a pc with unlimited powers.. 800euro++ wont give you somethink different you will never need to use all there "power" pc 800euro+ is like Mac .. useless for me so try buy somethink more cheap and you will be ok

    • This post originally appeared on MmoGah.   Dear Exiles, here's a detailed guide for Path of Exile 3.26 Gauntlet, tailored for beginners and focused on the top 5 builds that balance survivability, damage, and ease of gearing in the Hardcore Solo Self-Found (HCSSF) environment. This guide goes deep into mechanics, gear, leveling, and strategy—no fluff, just actionable insights.       What Is the Gauntlet in PoE 3.26? The Gauntlet is a community-run event, often organized by Zizaran, which pushes players into a brutal version of the game:   ● Hardcore Solo Self-Found (HCSSF): No trading, no partying, no outside help. ● Global Modifiers: Increased monster damage, life, elemental penetration, extra projectiles, and more. ● Limited Portals: Only 3 portals per boss kill count toward points. ● Custom Ascendancies: In 3.26, the Fishia League introduces new ascendancy classes like Ancestral Commander and Servant of Arakali.   The goal? Survive, level up, kill bosses, and earn points for prizes. But first, you need a build that won't crumble under pressure.   Top 5 Builds for Gauntlet Beginners These builds are chosen for their tankiness, simplicity, and ability to progress through the campaign and early maps with minimal gear.   1. Raise Zombie Puppeteer (Necromancer) Why It Works: Minions absorb damage, keeping you safe. Scales well with minimal gear. Strong bossing potential with high zombie levels.   Core Mechanics: Uses Raise Zombie as the main damage source. Strength stacking boosts zombie power. Animate Guardian adds utility and buffs.   Defensive Layers: Minions tank hits. Block chance from gear and passive tree. Energy shield and life stacking.   Leveling Tips: Use Summon Skeletons and Raise Zombie early. Prioritize +minion gem levels and strength gear. Transition to spectres and Animate Guardian by Act 5.   Pros: Safe, ranged playstyle. Easy to gear in SSF. Strong boss damage.   Cons: Minion AI can be clunky. Damage may taper off in the late game without investment.   2. Power Siphon Mines (Scavenger Saboteur) Why It Works: Ranged mine playstyle avoids direct damage. One-button mechanics for comfort. Fast leveling and strong suppression.   Core Mechanics: Power Siphon linked to mines for remote detonation. Uses High-Impact Mine Support and Minefield Support. Cloak of Flames for early damage scaling.   Defensive Layers: High evasion and suppression. Life stacking and stun immunity. Arctic Armor and Flesh and Stone for mitigation.   Leveling Tips: Start with Stormblast Mine or Explosive Trap. Switch to Power Siphon at level 28. Use Smoke Mine and Flame Dash for mobility.   Pros: Safe ranged playstyle. Low gear dependency. Comfortable mechanics.   Cons: Mines require setup. It can feel clunky without proper gem links.   3. Ice Nova Archmage (Hierophant) Why It Works: Combines Mind Over Matter (MoM) with mana stacking. Strong AoE and single-target damage. Good defenses and smooth leveling.   Core Mechanics: Ice Nova cast on Frostbolt for double damage. Archmage Support scales damage with mana. Hierophant ascendancy boosts mana and endurance charges.   Defensive Layers: MoM absorbs damage via mana. High armor and resistances. Chill and freeze for crowd control.   Leveling Tips: Start with Holy Flame Totem or Rolling Magma. Switch to Ice Nova after Act 3. Stack mana and use Clarity early.   Pros: Strong defenses and damage. Scales well into the endgame. Beginner-friendly caster setup.   Cons: Requires mana management. Squishy if not geared properly.   4. Explosive Arrow Ballista (Ancestral Commander) Why It Works: Totems do the work while you stay safe. Easy to gear and scale. Great for campaign progression.   Core Mechanics: Explosive Arrow linked to Ballista Totem Support. Totems stack arrows for massive explosions. Ancestral Commander ascendancy grants endurance charges and slam synergy.   Defensive Layers: Totems absorb aggro. High life and resistances. Fortify from gear or ascendancy.   Leveling Tips: Use Caustic Arrow or Split Arrow early. Switch to Explosive Arrow at level 28. Prioritize attack speed and totem placement.   Pros: Safe, passive playstyle. Strong single-target damage. Easy to respec and adapt.   Cons: Totem AI can be slow. Requires positioning for optimal damage.   5. Lightning Strike Daughter of Oshabi Why It Works: High energy shield and shrine buffs. Converts physical damage to chaos. Fast, clear, and strong bossing.   Core Mechanics: Lightning Strike with pure energy shield gear. Oath of the Magi node doubles armor defenses. Ghost Dance for ES sustain.   Defensive Layers: 10,000+ energy shield. Suppression and resist caps. Stun immunity and chaos conversion.   Leveling Tips: Use Smite or Molten Strike early. Transition to Lightning Strike with ES gear. Stack shrine buffs and movement speed.   Pros: Tanky and fast. Handles tier 17 maps. Good for face-tanking bosses.   Cons: Requires ES gear early. Shrine RNG can affect consistency.   Beginner Tips for Gauntlet Success Campaign Strategy: Overlevel before boss fights. Cap resistances ASAP. Use movement skills to dodge mechanics. Practice Acts 1, 4, and 9—they're deadly.   Gear Prioritization: Life and resistances > damage. Movement speed on boots. Vendor recipes for gear upgrades.   Flask Setup: 1 Instant Life Flask 1 Granite Flask 1 Jade Flask 1 Quicksilver Flask 1 Utility Flask (e.g., Sulphur or Basalt)   Passive Tree Tips: Prioritize life nodes early. Take suppression and block nodes. Avoid complex mechanics—simplicity wins.   Mapping and Bossing Strategy Mapping: Use fast-clearing skills. Avoid risky map mods. Keep portals in reserve.   Bossing: Learn boss mechanics. Use Sniper's Mark or Assassin's Mark. Position mercenaries or totems strategically.   Final Thoughts The Gauntlet is unforgiving, but with the right build and mindset, you can push deep into the event—even as a beginner. Focus on survivability, learn from each death, and don't be afraid to restart. Every run teaches you something new.
