My new PC

Postby SloBiscuit » Sat Sep 10, 2011 8:23 pm

Well I want to know what you think about this specs:

Graphics card: GTX 560 Ti 217,92€ (301,10 USD)
CPU: i5-2500(not k version) 178,24€ (246,27 USD)
RAM: Corsair PC3-12800 KIT "Vengeance" 1600 MHz 56,50€ (78,07 USD)
PS: LC Power 700W Hyperion 2.2 87,44€(120,82 USD)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 107,62€(148,70 USD)
Hard drive: Western Digital WD10EARS "CaviarGreen 1TB 51,12€(70,63 USD)
DVD/CD: Plextor PX-L890SA LightScribe™ 39,54€(54,63 USD)
Case: Cooler Master Elite 430 44,81€(61,91 USD)
Fan: 2x Scythe Gentle Typhoon 120 mm "1850" one fa 14,39€(19,88 USD)

Total: 851€ (1.175,83 USD)

Now... I will be using the computer for gaming duuuh....
So tell me more about this... I know that AMD is better for gaming PC's but I'm sticking with Intel's CPU and nVidia GPU becouse of lower power consumption which is kinda a deal for me...
So tell me guys... will this work okay or maybe a different GPU or CPU... Ow and one more thing... I will have 2 additional fans... now on the picture of the case there is a window a side should I place a fan intake or outtake(I was thinking intake so the components would be covered with fresh air ) + I will have the other fan behind the case as in outtake

I live in a different country that's why the price might be higher then your usual price(That's how it is in our country... -.-).
(If wanna know what country is that I'll tell you... It's Slovenia...)

welll first thing i have to say is that the rig is realy good and all the parts match, second thing is i say go for intake fans(im guessing that by intake you mean pushing air in), thats what i do(3 fans on the side panel . 2 on the GPU and 1 on the CPU) and it helps keeping the part(GPU/CPU) like 10 degrees lower.
and about the CPU .
its known that AMD are more gaming friendly then intel. but if you got the budget always go for the best , which in this case is intel. and for the i5 2500 i say take the bullet and get the K version. i know its quite more expensive but its worth it, higher clock rate and unlocked multiplier (its a recipe for greatness), its seems just smarter.

In our country the k version cost me only about 12$ more ... :D but I don't think that I will overclock it.

OW and my now version of PC is this:

CPU: Intel core 2 duo e4500
GPU: nvidia gs7300
ram: 2GB
motherboard: ...
case: ...
no additionals fans
PS: 300W

So this will be one hell of an upgrade for me... :D

Well, if you can't afford it, you don't have to get it. The standard i5 2500 already performs very good. But like I said, if you can the k is worth it, but it's not the end of the world if you don't get it.

I'm not sure what the prices are like in your country (they seem pretty high) but if you are in a every penny counts situation I can tell you that you are paying way too much for your CD/DVD drive. 55 bucks? You can get a Blu-Ray for that here.
