Approximate Purchase Date: Might be in a week from now.
Budget Range: Around $600.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, editing videos, surfing the internet, watching videos and movies.
Are you buying a monitor: No.
Parts to Upgrade: CPU, motherboard, RAM, GPU, power supply, case.
Do you need to buy OS: No.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Whichever has the cheapest part.
Parts Preferences: by brand or type: Whichever is quieter.
Overclocking: No.
SLI or Crossfire: No.
Your Monitor Resolution: I have two monitors with resolutions of 1920x1080, and 1440x900.
Additional Comments: I would like a very quiet PC. My old PC was way too loud. I will also use it for editing videos. I don't do any commentary, just record the games and edit them. I want to run current gen games at a decent framerate, and I also play a lot of games on emulators. I heard emulators were CPU intensive, so hopefully the processor I chose can handle it. I also heard video editing runs faster with more cores, so I tried to go with an 8 core CPU. AMD is the only affordable option. Intel prices are too high for me to handle just yet with my budget.
I asked before when I needed help with a $500 build. I had great help, but my budget went to around $600 now. I kept some parts from the $500 build and upgraded other parts.
I'm thinking of getting the Ripwjaws X ram sticks since it's cheaper and has a combo discount. I was worried if the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO can fit since I heard it can go over the ram, and the ram sticks have those long fins on the top.
I had a question before adding the case to my pcpartpicker list. The Rosewill galaxy-01 has two variations. One has blue LED and the other has red LED. the red version seems to be a little wider but not by much at all. The red version is also $5 cheaper according to pcpartpicker, but on the site it shows it as the same price as the blue version. Should I go with the red version for now, unless I'm missing some obvious difference, which I usually do 🙁 I also like red LED's more haha
Here are both versions of the case:
