Heya,
My laptop is giving me some issues so i am considering to buy myself a new PC. I do know some things about getting mobo , cpu and gpu but i'd like to receive some suggestions based on my budget which is around 400-500 euros. I may consider to spend more but not with my current wallet.
The use of PC will be mostly navigate on the internet (YouTube , facebook and so on) but i will use it also for gaming (actually i don't pretend to run lastest games on the maximum settings and etc, really not.) and for studying (I may need programs like AutoCAD). So i would like to get an i5 and a good gpu (i had in mind a gtx750ti). For the mobo what do you suggest?
-
First of all I strongly recommend you to build a PC yourself, since this saves quite some cash comparing with a computer you buy at the computer shop a few blocks away.
I'll do some research with your amount, and come back wit you later with a few options! :)
-
My point is to build it myself , i don't want a pre-assembled one :P
-
For CPU I can recommend i5-4690k, great bang for buck.
As for GPU, I would suggest nvidia, though I gotta take a look at the prices first. Leave mobo last, as the only difference with them are the features.
-
The CPU looks fine at me, not sure if i can save some budget choosing a different one (always an Intel), i forgot to talk about RAM and HDD or SSD.
Which RAM do you suggest me ? I don't need any gaming thing , maybe a fast one and not much expensive. About HDD i don't know which one to choose.

I was looking for RAM..and found these two on amazon with a good price: HyperX-Fury-Blue (http://www.amazon.it/HyperX-Fury-Blue-Memorie-1600/dp/B00J8E92R6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427123611&sr=8-1&keywords=ram+4gb) and Corsair Vengeance (http://www.amazon.it/Corsair-CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9-Vengeance-Memoria-Interna/dp/B004CRSM48/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1427123611&sr=8-2&keywords=ram+4gb)
I found also this HDD...http://www.amazon.it/Seagate-ST1000DM003-1000GB-Barracuda-Nero/dp/B006GAK6EI , which seems good. Has anyone tried it ?
I still wonder which Mobo i should choose if i'm going to buy the i5-4690k. :janek:

As for RAM, 8GB is definitely more than enough. 1600 MHz is also good enough (running myself), otherwise both of these are quality companies and RAM manufacturers often also include lifetime warranty, so it's your call, which one you like.
Reading from internet forums, I have noticed rather large amount of negative responses regarding Seagate and their durability. I have been running a 250GB one and 2TB one for 2 years now, no issues so far. I would recommend going for something more quality, such as Western Digital, Hitachi, as this is quite a vital part of your PC.
For motherboard, just pick one that fits in your budget in the end and has the features you like/need. There is no performance difference.

I came with this list..http://www.amazon.it/registry/wishlist/1X6V5SLRRMP71
however it exceeds the 500 euros budget without considering the keyboard which i have to buy (The most cheap component, no problem with the price of it lol.). Arrived at this point i would consider a cpu a bit cheaper than the current one. Got any suggestion? :rolleyes:
-
CPU : i5 3470 3.20GHz
GPU : R9 280x R9 290x / Nvidia GTX 760 /GTX 770
Ram : Kingstone Hyper 8GB
Motherboard : Gigabyte z77-D3H
Case : NZXT Phantom or any case with a well airflow
Storage : whatever size you want , make sure to get a Blue+ HDD and if possible a SDD for the windows
Power Supply :EVGA SuperNOVA 650G1 650W
This might exceed the 500 euros :p , you can lower the GPU a bit to something cheaper
-
I have decided to change CPU to a cheap one (As i don't really need overclocking for the usage) like this i5 4590 (http://www.amazon.it/dp/B00K5J22GG/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1X6V5SLRRMP71&coliid=I1E051T5EE286V) but now as i spared 30-40 euros i'd like to buy a case with a good cooling for the usage i described before! Any suggestion guys ? :)

You can't go wrong with Corsair.
-
i5 3570k
GTX 560 Ti or GTX 960
G.Skill Ripjaws F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3
Corsair CX-600 Modular, not modular if you want to save like 20 bucks
ASRock B75M R2.0
Try get a around a 250 GB SSD minimum and maybe a 1TB or 2TB HDD for your videogames and storage.
Also remember that prices drop over time as new stuff gets released, so a product that you want now maybe drop in price by 30 dollars a couple months later. This list will also probably be over the limit you set.
