Hi everyone
Actually I just bought old parts for my VR PC (My budget is tight and old parts are cheap to get)
Currently I have:
CPU - Intel i5 4590
CPU Cooler - Intel stock
MB - ASUS Z97I-PLUS (1150)
RAM - Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600 (some low budget one)
GPU - MSI 980 Gaming 4G
Case - Corsair Obsidian 250D
SSD - Toshiba 240GB
HDD - Samsung 1TB
I have spent around 300$ for the build.
My opinion is to upgrade the CPU to a Xeon E3-1240 v3 that I can get for around 80$ and a cooler.
As both Ram slots are occupied I plan to wait until the price on DDR3 drops and then replace them with 2x 8gb sticks.
Is it better to use a AIO in a ITX build? The case is crowded is a understatement. The 980 fits with about 5mm of space on top and on the end. But there is still a lot of airflow for the CPU
What would you replace ? I don’t want to spent more than another 100$ but I am willing to sell all the stuff that I don’t need anymore.
Ah btw the PC is for VR Gaming and Netflix watching only. No streaming or work is done on this PC
