Hi guys.
4 years ago, with the help of the community here, I built a computer that made me extremely happy (and still does).
That was:
CPU: Phenom II 1090T
GPU: Asus Radeon 6870
MB: Asus M4A89TD PRO USB3
Memory: 4x2GB Corsair Dominator CL8 DDR3 1600Mhz
PSU: Corsair TX-850
HDD1: SSD Kingston V300 120gb
HDD2: Western Digital 640Gb 7200RPM 32Mb
I managed to get this for less than 1000€ at the time.
Now, even though I'm not really looking to upgrade, I was made an offer of 400€ for my computer, and thought I might as well see what's out there.
So first things first.
Don't care about OC.
GPU
I'm an AMD guy. Love them. That being said, to get any GPU that's not a GTX970 seems irresponsible at this point. I'm willing to fork out 300-350€ on a GPU, just need to make sure it's the best deal for the time being. What's your opinion on that? Before I found out about them, I was considering a R9 280X.
CPU
FX-9590
Can get it new for 190€. Seems my best bet at the moment. Comments?
MoBo
Here's where I'm at a loss. Haven't been up to date for a few years.
A mate of mine got a Sabertooth 990 that seems interesting.
I have no interest in running 2 GPUs.
No need for onboard GPU
NEED onboard soundboard. A nice one, preferably.
Memory
I'm not picky.
Want to run dual channel, so 4x4gb seems right. So what the best deal out there?
PSU
Havent had issues with my corsair, though I noticed everyone's raving about them XFXs.
What say you?
Gimme your comments and questions, I'll reply as soon as possible in order to provide the most information possible.
