I'm thinking about getting myself a new pc, but unfortunately I don't really now which parts should I choose since I'm not really into hardware stuff. The budget limit is 500€. Other things you should know is that a 500 gb hard drive will be more then enough for me and I prefer the intel & nvidia combo. Any help in making a true master race pc will be appreciated Smile

Any parts to reuse?

- Mobo: Asrock Z77 Pro 4 or similar, ~80-120 EUR or so depending on your wishes;
- CPU: Intel Core 3450, ~160 EUR
- RAM: 2x4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600, ~40-45 EUR
- HDD: Lower end 500 GB drives are about 60 EUR atm
- GPU: GTX 560 Ti, 7850 or better yet, get a used 6950/570/6970 for that amount (about 160)

The above puts you around the 500 mark. Still lacks a PSU though, which is hard to recommend without knowing what you can get. I assumed you have a case to use; the above is more than capable of running anything out there at 1080p or lower just fine.

It kind of depends on what you already have to be reused though, a scratch build will always cost a bit more Smile

Thanks for the advices. Sadly, the only thing I can reuse is the case. I guess I could increase the budget up to 600€. I like the build you recommend, I'll dig around, check prices and stuff and I'll post an update whenever I'll be closer to actually buying anything Smile

Yeah the shit I posted is just me either picking something I remember reading positive things about (Asrock's Z77 boards are all very decent apparently) or from what I know is good (like the GPUs, although I left out the 6870 which may be available very cheap and is at roughly 560 Ti level) and then glancing at a Dutch price comparison site for half a second Razz
I could explain it more, but it's all basically at the bottom end of what's worth its money for gaming Smile

Prices might be different for you, but with 600 EUR + reusing a case you're basically set, the extra budget added should be enough for a good PSU Smile

Also, really don't shy away from getting a used GPU. Particularly if you get an EVGA card, warranty usually isn't an issue Smile

So I've been digging around a bit and this is how it looks so far:

CPU: Intel Core i5-3450 Ivy Bridge LGA1155 BOX
RAM: Corsair DDR3 4GB 1600MHz Vengeance CL9 x2
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 500GB SATA3
MOBO: Asrock Z77 PRO3 Intel Z77 LGA1155
GPU: ZOTAC GeForce GTX560Ti AMP 1GB DDR5/256bit
PSU: XFX Core 550W

So I guess I should be fine with a build like this? Very Happy

Do yourself a favor and invest in a SSD.

And no, you can't delete the midget tranny porn from the VIP FTP because I am the source of all midget tranny porn that ever was and ever will be.

Which one would you recommend? Smile

How about OCZ ZS 550W?

There are people here that know a lot more than me on which brand and models are best and I'm sure someone will answer you. I'm pretty sure I heard bad things about XFX PSU's a while ago. Smile

What I would get -

Realistically, if you get a higher quality supply you could go with the 400-500w supplies if staying single GPU. Seasonic makes a couple supplies in this range that are fanless.

Actually, the XFX Core Pro series are all Seasonic builds, so they're quite decent. It's a Seasonic S12 II inside. Decent but not top notch, but at that price point you won't find better. The cheapest Seasonic X-Series is twice as expensive, but they are much superior Smile

Yeah, I don't really want to overdo it budget wise, I tried to keep it as cheap as possible because my funds are quite limited. I also don't have huge demands performence wise. A game running in 1080p with high details (without AA) with a stable 60 fps is good enough for me.

I might be getting a new monitor later on, so maybe you could also recommend me a decent 22 incher that isn't all that expensive? Smile
