Build is 820 euro's in Belgium. Max budget is around 800-830 euro's.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Currect pc can't run any game except browser games.

So my question basically is what do you think about this build?

Do i get this build or i replace the GPU and sacrifice the SSD for a sapphire r9 fury nitro (320 euro's).

 

[CTurbo]

I like the video card choice. If anything, I would try to get the i5 6500 instead.

IS your budget 800E ?

 

[volcom]

yes my budget is around 800 euro's.
i forgot to mention that he really wants that case so that one has to stay.


And the i5-6500 is around 40 euro's more expensive than the i5-6400 but is it worth it?

 

[CTurbo]

No probably not worth 40 euro more. That sounds like a lot more than normal.

 

[volcom]

Yeah some components are ridicoulously high in price. The rx 480 4gb is 260 euro's and the gtx 1060 6gb over 300.

the gtx 1060 is 239.00 E I am I missing something ?

 

[volcom]

My bad. I was looking in that shop only.

There are indeed 1060's for 240€ but those are 3gb versions.

The cheapest 6gb version for me is the EVGA 1060 6gb for 286,80.

The Sapphire r9 fury nitro is 341 euro.

Niklas_13 i've build your system and the total for that is 950 euro.

I've also found a cheaper i5-6500.

Is it worth this difference: I5-6500 = 206 euro and i5-6400 = 184 euro.

 

[Sizzor]

go for i5 6500 and every other component is fine.
