I think it's time for me to finaly order my new computer this weekend. I'll mainly use it for gaming, but i will also use it for a bunch of other things, including video and sound editing. I live in the Netherlands, thats why you'll see so many Euro signs. 1 Euro is about 1.3 Dollars, but the strange thing is that when I search the price of every piece in dollars (on pcpartpicker) I come up with almost the same number, but than in Dollars (so 1:1). This is too the explination why I pay so much for my hardware, this is where I'm looking at:
Sapphire HD7850 2GB GDDR5 (NOT the OC version)
Sharkoon REX8 Value Edition Midi-Tower 4x USB 2.0 2x USB 3.0 Window (Black)
Asrock 970 Extreme3 AMD 970 AM3/ AM3+ 4x DDR3 5x SATA-600
AMD FX-6300 3.5Ghz AM3+ Box
Western Digital Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 3.5" SATA-600
XFX PRO 550W (yes, it is 80+, 85% perciceley)
LG GH24NS95 24x48x SATA-150 (Optical drive)
Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600MHz (2x4GB) CL9
It will cost me now:€578,60 ($755.21)
My actual budget is €625, so there's room for an upgrade
First of all, I don't know which motherboard to chose, there are so many, that I don't know which to chose, Maybe an upgrade to the Extreme 4??
Do I need an ssd? and if so, which one, and how many gigs?
The ram is now the cheapest 1600mhz ram I could find, do I need 1866mhz or 16 gigs? (I like to play with big files)
Any other suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
