Hey, i need a new PC. I will have mainly basic use, but sometimes I will try out some gaming (the reason for this mid-class video card)
I searched for parts on my own, and this is the result:
CPU: intel core i5 3470 3,2 GHz
Mainboard: Asrock Z77 PRO 3 or Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H (the Gigabyte for my thought to dual boot it as windows-hackintosh)
RAM: Crossair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9R 2x4GB
GPU: Sapphire HD 7850 1GB
HDD: Segate Barracuda 2TB
SSD: SanDisk 64GB or maybe samsung 840 120GB
power supply: Antec VP450P- EC 450W or Cougar A400 400W
cooler: Enermax T40-TB
optical drive: Asus DRW-24B5ST
case: cooler master rc-912p-kkn1 or zalman z9 plus or cooler master silenzio 550
I'm around 770-800€
I have some questions:
1) Would the Gigabyte mainboard be compatible and is it better/worse than the Asrock?
2) Do you know the power supplies? On amazon the one with 50W less costs 10€ less? Is it worse?
3) I like the cooler master silenzio 550 case, but has it enough airflow?
Generally I would like to ask if there are no compatibility issues.
If you want to give me any advice your welcome It's my first build ..
