Hi there!
I'm want a pc that runs games well at 1080p and running music from youtube at the same time. Right now I have an i5-750 + 5850 which I had for 3 years, hope my new build will last 3 years too. I play all kinds of games.
I've picked these parts but would a 760 be enough for me? Cause it's WAY cheaper for just one step. If so then I could save some more on Corsair CX 600W 80+ Bronze. And I think I can use the new 4way optimization with this motherboard aswell.
Seagate 2TB Barracuda 7200rpm SATA 6Gbit/s + Samsung SSD Pro Basic 840-Series 128GB
MSI GeForce GTX 770 or 760 2GB TwinFrozr GAMING-series
Fractal Design Define R4 + Corsair CX 750W or 600W 80+ Bronze
ASUS Z87-PLUS ATX + Kingston 8GB (2x4GB) CL9 1600Mhz HyperX Genesis
Intel Core i5 4670K 3.4 GHz (Haswell) + Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Arctic Cooling MX-2 Thermalpaste
1080p - gtx760 is more than enough to get you by for awhile. A corsair 600w would be a nice match for your build if you went that route. I would probably swap the hdd to a wd black/blue or to a hitachi. Rest looks good.
The place where I buy parts (sweden) a WD black costs almost twice as much, what's the diffrence between them?
I don't know the real difference, it's probably performance wise, but Seagate does a nice job. You can stick with the Seagate if you feel like it.
Western Digital is more reliable and the black has a better warranty afaik (and maybe a bit faster but that's non issue with the SSD) but HDDs are so cheap, by the time the seagate fails (Which should take a while cause Seagates are decent drives) you'll probably be upgrading. Just avoid Toshiba drives they are BAAAAAAD. Oh and if the 600 watt is cheaper than the 750 get the 600 watt, you will not need 750 watts on that system
I don't have a real budget, just looking for the "pricing sweetspot" for my needs, Cause I probably went overkill at first trying to get an i7 with a deluxe mobo, then I thought I'd do some research and don't throw away money on things that I don't really need.
A gtx 760 would make a big diffrence from 5850 right?
Your build looks good man. The gtx 760 will do very well, but as a cheaper and higher performing option you could get an AMD 7950. It has 3gb of vram.
