Hey!
So I'm finally at the point where I can invest in a new gaming rig (something I haven't done in some 10 years) and since I was completely out of the market for that long I'd like some feedback on the parts I've chosen, along with advice on what to change etc.
This computer will be used exclusively for gaming at 1920x1080 with some minor overclocking, so please make your suggestions based on that, I'm not at all concerned with performance outside gaming.
CPU: INTEL CORE I5 3570K 3.4GHZ 6MB CACHE 1155 - 250€
CPU cooler: COOLERMASTER HYPER 212 EVO - 33€
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H SOCKET 1155 - 207€
Memory: 16GB GSKILL RIPJAW X DDR3 1866MHZ (10-11-10-30) (2x8GB) - 128€
GFX: EVGA GTX780 SC ACX 3GB GDDR5 - 690€
SSD: INTEL SSD 330 SERIES 120GB SATA 3 (RETAIL) - 120€
PSU: CORSAIR TX-850W V2 SINGLE RAIL - 115€
Case: ZALMAN MS800 PLUS - 96€
Monitor: ASUS LCD MX239H 23" FULLHD LED - 250€
Total - 1860€ or ~$2407
Think that's it, let me know if I missed something!
I *could* go a bit over the budget if that meant a significant difference but I'd like to keep it around these lines (which hurts enough as it is T_T).
I'm from Portugal but prices in Europe are pretty much the same everywhere, shouldn't be an issue if you make suggestions from other websites (used www.aquapc.com for this list).
