Greetings community!


I need a little assistance in picking the parts for a new PC.

These are the parts that I have chosen and I would be grateful for any help in swapping parts or just what the overall impression is:

(if you like you can also see the manufacturer's site and what they offer from each section: https://www.komplett.no/configure/1...-pc-epic-gaming-a230-esport-edition#undefined. It is in Norwegian, but you can press the "endre" messaged that has a pencil icon on it on each part and it will tell you what you can swap between.

What I have changed myself (since you can swap some parts around on the getgo before ordering)

- Changed the cooler which was CM ML360L Core ARGB before, because I noticed a few people saying it was a bit loud.

Other than that I am wondering if I should get a better version of the RTX 4070 or if this one is good enough for 144P gaming (and maybe even 4K)


Thank you for the assistance!:)

Same here, I upgraded my PC back in January to a 7800X3D and I'm still reusing my 3060TI for the time being. I'll probably upgrade to a 4070 Super or 7900GRE if I can find one for a decent price.
Every man is the architect of his own fortune. I would only upgrade the CPU if I managed to get a better GPU for a decent price, not the other way around...

Yeah but the one thing you have to look at too, is that GPUs are crazy expensive right now. Mid-range GPUs like the 7900GRE and the 4070 Super are still $600. Gaming PCs are a luxury item, and even mid range to higher end GPUs are a luxury item within a luxury item. If you've got a GPU to spare to hold out until one comes along that you can afford that is in your price range, then by all means use it.

I absolutely agree, most PC components and especially GPUs are very expensive. I didn't buy new PC components, I don't even remember, my entire PC is secondhand. It's my hobby and it saves a lot of money. For example, I bought my RTX 4080 Super damaged for $700 and fixed it.

I'm just curious how someone can sell a $100 product for $25.
How does that work?

First off, I did it and it works. It's all OEM license codes. If it didn't work, I wouldn't tell others to use it and save money. CNET wrote about it. I bought it, paid for it through PAYPAL just to be safe. Made a flash drive from Microsoft and entered the email code. I did my research and believed it was legit. Check the Ratings on Trust Pilot, Trust Advisor, and Reseller Ratings. I also used Product Keys for Microsoft Office. And yes it did work. I worked totally fine for me.
