suggestion on new pc build

Recommended Posts

Sorry for bumping this topic. I just want to update you guys with the build. I've finally got the time & money to gather all the components (except for gpu) for my first ever build. This time, components are:

 

Case: Bitfenix Phenom mini itx case white

mobo: Gigabyte Z87n-wifi

proc: Intel i5-4570

Hdd: Western Digital Black 640GB 7200rpm 64mb cache (bare drive)

Ram: gskill ripjaws x 8gb (4gbx2) 1600mhz cl9

psu: Seasonic s12ii 520w

OS: Microsoft Windows 8.1 pro genuine retail license

plus additional Bitfenix spectre pro 230mm blue led

 

total: after conversion to usd, $670

 

 

now i know i'll probably get criticisms for my choice of the case & other components. With the case, it is love at first sight :). I just love the clean look, elegant, minimalistic style of the case. And as a first time pc builder, this case is probably not recommended, but hey, I've done my research & I'm totally up for the challenge. The psu, it was recommended by the store technician. He said a non modular psu is recommended for my case so i agreed althought i've seen phenom cases with a modular psu. As for the other stuff, its the best bang for my buck as I only have 700-800usd for this build. For the gpu, planning to get evga gtx 650 ti boost superclocked OR save more and get evga gtx 760. For now, all these goodies sit in my room til I've got the time to actually build it.

Seems decent PC. Was going to suggest new AMDs but with ITX case you´d probably need to keep power consumption down, so have nothing to add but good luck with building it. I wonder does really graphics fit in there?

Dang IkillCampers,, 6 monitors, I just use one big one,lol. Being that my pc is on it"s death bed I have been looking around for a new one myself.I have been looking at the Digital Storm Vanquish level 4. It"s around $1,400 so it"s good price I think but I am no computer person by far, I read the reviews on it.

yes long gpu fits. I've seen a build with a titan in it. Will post pics when the build is done.
