I haven't built a PC for over 10 years and due to life happening I have a small window of opportunity to build one last system.
The basic premise is to build a good looking, durable iGPU build for +-€1500 which can do a little gaming. And can be upgraded with a graphics card later this year to do proper gaming.
I have a basic idea for the build, mainly would like some of you to go over it and see if I did anything stupid.
Approximate Purchase Date: 27-31 July
Budget Range: +-€1500
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Home Entertainment, Surfing, Office usage
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: none starting from scratch
Do you need to buy OS: Yes, however not included in budget.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: If it ships to Holland I can use it, I can find my own parts though.
Location: Amsterdam, The Netherlands, Europe
Parts Preferences:
I'll list my basic idea here:
For fans 5x Arctic P12 for €25.71
Totals for: €1443.52
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 2560x1440 & 4096x2080
Additional Comments:
I plan on upgrading with an RTX 3080 (TI).
Would like the system to be able to output 4K graphics after the upgrade.
My main question is if the build is balanced, secondary question being of it will handle 4K with RTX3080 added on.
All advice is welcome!
Thank you in advance!
