Hey guys like the topic said, im gonna buy a new system for me.

Im not a well known specialist about what typ of components work better with other components bla, this is why im asking for some help here.

Here are my general conditions:

Money i want to spend 900-1200 Euros
SSD for OS (W7) and my games (gw2, some steam games)
Living in germany (may cannot purchase items from america without having problem about taxes bla)
I prefer intel processors
I can assemble the the whole system on my own :p
maybe a system that isn't so loud like my little turbine below my desk^^



OT: im not sure, but it seems that gw2 is dealing mainly with the CPU and not GPU, and if i look closely only 1 of 4 processors is doing the big work.. narf

Thanks

Xedie setted up my PC 1,5 years ago^^ i cant help you there sorry

[Lasastard]

i5 3570K
ASUS P8Z77 V board
120GB SSD
1TB HDD
8GB Ram
CPU Cooler (e.g. Noctua makes good coolers, like the NH-12UP)
(yes you can use the noisy stock cooler, but the i5 very easily overclocks to > 4 GHz on a good air cooler)

GPU is up to you - GeForce 560ti is pretyt solid and reasonably priced at the moment. Can also push it a bit and go for a 670ti if you want a little extra sexyness

PSU depends on your GPU, basically. A mid-range GPU will be fine with a ~550W PSU (if decent quality). If you go for the 670, you might have to go a little higher (650W, my guess).

Case - up to you, but I would aim for something > 80 Euros. I personally like the Fractal Design R4 - very subtle design, noise-dampened and high build-quality.

[Magicco]

hmpf are there any websites where i can combine all my match results?

i5 3570k = 206€

ASUS P8Z77 V board
(wtf found versions LE, LX, LK, Premium, Deluxe, Pro and Z77 what is the correct one) = 100€ - 370 €

Geforce GTX 670 Ti (found only one without the "Ti") = 340 €

120gb SSD Samsung 830 120gb = 91€

1 TB HDD Western Digital Caviar Blue = 70€

8GB RAM (NO idea what RAM what type and how much 2x4gb or 4x2gb)
G.Skill DIMM 2GB PC3-10667U CL9-9-9-24 (DDR3-1333) (F3-10600CL9S-2GBNT) 4x2gb = 50€

CPU Cooler Noctua NH-12UP (found one that is named U12P^^) = 48€

Fractal design Pearl R4 = 94€

Powersupply = how much W and there are also prices from 60-150€ possible

please correct or help me Lasastard if i made sth wrong, especially the Mainboard typo question

Sum = 693€ without mainboard, powersupply
= 853€ - 1213€ regarding to those different mainport suffixes and powersupplies.

[Lasastard]

There should be a MoBo version 'V' - if not, aim for 150 Euro or thereabouts. The LE version lacks a feature or two which I found useful - only had two Sata 3 ports, for starters). Lower-end version of chipset/brands also tend to be less stable when OC'n etc.

Get 2 bricks of DDR3 4 GB dual channel Ram @ 1600 MHz, Corsair, Kingston, whatever.

PSU, as mentioned, 600ish Watt should be more than ok with that setup - again, Corsair, Fractal, beQuiet, Enermax, ... and should cost 60-80 Euros, I would guess. (http://extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine)

Rest looks ok to me.

[Magicco]

allright thxalot @Lasastard
where you normally gather those hardware?
i looked at geizhals.de to find the cheapest and would purchase them there (Amazon is the cheapest)

[Lasastard]

Well I wouldn't know, would I, not leaving in Germany and all Have you looked over at Alternate.de ?

[Lasastard]

oh and if the budget allows for it, get a graphics card with a double-cooler - everything we put together for you here makes for a fairly low-noise system; don't want to mess that up by putting in a jet turbine.

+ 120gb SSD
+ 1 TB WD caviar Green

and you're fine to go for your budget


or if you want to spend a little bit less money:

Geizhals also gives you the opportunity to create own lists and compare them for their best possible price.

[Lasastard]

There really is no reason to take the 2500K, prices are almost identical and the 3570k is up nto 15% faster, depending on the application. Also, the 2500K does not support PCI 3.0 - again, the difference is not huge, but if you can get if for a little more, get it. And for the 3570K, the chipset/board I suggested is considered the best. So better stick with that.

Regarding the cooler - I would still suggest the Noctua, because it has a push-pull Fan configuration and will because of that probably be more efficient than the Thermalright.
