Shiftey buys a new PC
« on: September 23, 2012, 08:57:32 am »
I am planning to buy a new PC, and probably a desktop this time. And it never hurts to ask for some opinions. Let's say the budget is roughly around ?1000. So here's what I came up with.

CPU: Intel Core i5-3450  http://www.czc.cz/intel-core-i5-3450/107644/produkt 171 eur

Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V LX - Intel Z77 http://www.czc.cz/asus-p8z77-v-lx-intel-z77/105888/produkt 101 eur

GPU: ASUS ENGTX660 TI-DC2OG-2GD5 http://www.czc.cz/asus-engtx660-ti-dc2og-2gd5-hra-borderlands-2/112969/produkt 307 eur

HDD: Seagate Barracuda - 2TB http://www.czc.cz/seagate-barracuda-2tb/100118/produkt 95 eur

RAM: 2x Kingston HyperX Blu 4GB DDR3 1600 http://www.czc.cz/kingston-hyperx-blu-4gb-ddr3-1600/93437/produkt 2x 19 eur

Monitor: Asus VS228H - LCD monitor 22" http://www.czc.cz/asus-vs228h-lcd-monitor-22-/91487/produkt 124 eur

Now the question is whether I need a soundcard or not and what kind of PSU I need to power this. I am not looking for some massively high-end rig, but I think this would be alright.

That does not match putting in a 300 euro GPU. What games at which resolution do you need to support?

The 6850 I bought ~1,5 years ago still manages every current game at 1920 x 1080. Buy some ~120 - 150 Euro card and plan to upgrade it in 3-4 years for the same price again instead.

Hmmm, I could buy the 660, not the Ti one. http://www.czc.cz/asus-gtx660-dc2o-2gd5/114357/produkt goes for 200 euro.

Still unanswered question is, what kind of PSU do I need? 500W enough?
