so, due to circumstances it might be the perfect time for me and my girlfriend to both get a new rig going.
i recently had one of my most reliable rigs catch fire (currently replaced by the most frankensteined thing ever)
my girlfriend's laptop is undead at this point.
and above all: a friend is selling me his two GTX760 graphics cards for €250 (substracted from listed budgets)
decided to put them in one thread, as our requirements are fairly similar, and having similar computers would have some advantages.
the requirements are as follows:
--my rig, budget: no more than €1075, as low as possible
i7 4790k (preferably)
8GB ram as a bare minimum (preferably 16)
two OS boot drives and a mass storage drive (was thinking 500GBx2 and 2TB)
at least one legacy pci slot. (preferably, i have some old stuff laying around)
(one of the GTX760s for graphics)
possibility to upgrade (i'll probably never do SLI/crossfire tho)
silence is a major factor
i dont need any fancy components, it will be hidden under my desk anyways.
no need for new peripherals
--my girlfriend's rig, budget: no more than €1375, as low as possible
i5 or i7
8GB ram (can be more if theres money for it)
SSD would be a nice addition, but not required, always a big hard drive. (she's a storage hog)
(one of the GTX760s for graphics)
possibility to upgrade (i'll probably never do SLI/crossfire tho)
silence would be nice, but not required.
no need for fancy components or windowed case.
EDIT: she needs wifi
--its her first desktop, so she needs peripherals (except mouse and headset)
preferably mechanical keyboard, no media keys or special features required
1 or (preferably) 2 1080p screens (generic screens are fine, but she likes screens with good color depth)
NOTE: the more similarities between the systems the better, it'd be convenient to have similar rigs when building, upgrading or troubleshooting.
