Okay so i am trying to build a gaming pc for my colleague and i ran into a bit of a problem. I can't seem to get the price down to the desired number while keeping some decent performance in the build. The collegue is a programmer and also quite an hardcore gamer so those are both things to keep in mind.
Here are the parts as of now:
Corsair CX750W V2 CX-sarjan 750 W ATX-vi 98.90e Fractal Design Define R4 Arctic White - 94.90e Asus Z97-A Intel Z97 LGA 1150 ATX 154.90e Intel Core i5 4690K 3,5 GHz LGA1150 275.90e Samsung 850 PRO 256 Gt SATA III SSD 2,5" 162.90e Kingston HyperX Savage 16 Gt KIT (2 x 8 104.90e Asus STRIX-GTX970-DC2OC-4GD5 GTX 970 O.C 419.90e Seagate Barracuda 1 TB 64 MB 7200 RPM 3. 59.90e
OVERALL: 1372.20e
The goal is to keep a good graphics card and get the budget under or atleast close to 1200€. Is it possible? Help would be appreciated.
Drop the case to a cheaper one Drop the CPU to an i5 4460 go for 8gbs of RAM and potentially get a 390 over the 970, the prices should be close and it has 125% more VRAM and performance for not much more money, at least in the states.
They really need an EU part picker
did not know you can change the country in PC part picker
So throw in an SSD if you wish, or you could upgrade the GPU to a 980 or R9 Fury and be set for a good while, the fury is looking promising with the recent DX12 developments, but either would be overkill for 1080p
Yeah i was thinking about dropping the RAM to 8gb too. The 390 is pretty much the same price as the 970, on the webstores im using so that could be an option. I have just been biased towards nvidia for the longest time, maybe it's time to try out amd again. Im not sure yet where i'll be ordering the products but probably i'm gonna go with a domestic webstore so prices are probably going to be a bit higher. Thou that link for the german store looks promising, i need to check that out when i order new parts for my own rig.
