Hi peepz,
I am planning to build my first pc. It is supposed to be a simple workstation (light photoshopping, illustrator CC and some drawing software. Now and then I'd like to play some games (not hardcore).
I did my research on parts but choosing the right parts seems so hard. So can someone give me any tips for a good configuration?
My researched picks for the base are this, please correct if needed:
- Intel® Core™ i5-4590 , 3,4 GHz 1150 processor
- MOBO MSI H97 PC Mate, socket 1150 or maybe a alternative microATX since they're cheaper.
- RAM Corsair Vengeance 8 GB DDR3-1600 dual Kit
I'd also like some suggestions for a PSU that is not too expensive but with decent quality and how it is best to calculate the amount of wattage required?
and is it better to have a 120GB SSD + 500GB HDD or just a single 500GB-750GB HDD?
My current budget is 650 euro (500 pounds) it can be more if it has good reason.
Thank guys!!
