Hello Anandtech community,
I want to build a new PC and would appreciate any input.
1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
First and foremost gaming, but I will also use it for browsing, netflix, word, music etc.
Currently I play World of Tanks, SC II, CS:GO and War Thunder, but with my new PC I wanna start playing Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
About 900
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
Germany, I will most likey get my parts from one of the following vendors:
www.hoh.de/ ; www.alternate.de/ ; http://www.computeruniverse.net/
5. IF YOU have a brand preference. That means, are you an Intel-Fanboy, AMD-Fanboy, ATI-Fanboy, nVidia-Fanboy, Seagate-Fanboy, WD-Fanboy, etc.
No preference
6. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
I want to reuse my SSD, HDD, Case, 12 gigs ddr3 ram, if possible also my power supply bequite 550 W
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
No plans to overclock
8. What resolution, not monitor size, will you be using?
2560x1080
9. WHEN do you plan to build it?
within the next 3 weeks
X. Do you need to purchase any software to go with the system, such as Windows or Blu Ray playback software?
No I have everything I need
right now I'm thinking of something like this:
GPU: MSI gtx 970 for 350 http://www.hoh.de/hardware/grafikka...rie/msi/1022775/msi-geforce-gtx-970-4gb-gddr5
CPU: i7 4790k for 300 http://www.hoh.de/hardware/cpu-proz...re-i7-4790k-4x4.00-ghz-1150-box-devils-canyon
Motherboard: MSI Z87 g45 for 120 http://www.hoh.de/hardware/mainboar...1/msi-z87-g45-gaming-z87-sockel-1150-atx-ddr3
CPU fan: Alpenföhn Brocken for 30 http://www.hoh.de/hardware/cpu-proz...oehn/62991/ekl-alpenfoehn-brocken-cpu-kuehler
Total ~ 800
Would I also need a new, more powerful Power Supply for this build? What do you think of the build? And also how future proof is this Setup, will this get me through the next 3 to 4 years?
Should I consider stretching my budget and get the i7 5820k, X99 Motherboard and 16 gigs of ddr4 ram?
