Hello everyone,
I am looking forward to a new gaming rig and have decided on the following assembly parts so far:
1. Intel 3.4 GHz LGA1150 4670K i5 4th Generation Processor
2. ASRock Z87 Pro4 Motherboard (changed to ASRock Z87 Extreme4)
3. Seagate Barracuda 1 TB Desktop Internal Hard Drive (ST1000DM003)
4. 2 X Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB (1 x 4 GB) PC RAM (CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9)
5. NZXT Phantom 410 Mid-Tower Chassis (White)
6. Corsair CMPSU-800GUK 800 Watts PSU
7. ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 AMP Edition 2 GB Graphics Card (changed to MSI N760 Hawk)
My config PCPartPicker: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2IEXu
Note: I decided on the 800W psu so that i could use the same in case i decided to add another GPU to my system in the future.
I should mention that the parts are slightly expensive in my country (India) and the entire assembly is costing me around $1100. I will be ordering most or all of the parts via www.flipkart.com, primarily because they are the only ones who will provide easily in my location; there is an approximate 15%-17% price increase when compared to PCPartPicker. I would not want to exceed this budget.
This would be my first assembly and I would appreciate any suggestions or changes that i could apply to this system to improve the overall performance for gaming purposes and/or reduce the cost of my system.
I also have my doubts about ASrock and Zotac, as i have not read as good reviews when compared to thier competition. The choice was simply made based on budget restrictions.
