What do you think about this PC?

[rambomhtri]

So I want a basic PC, and I wanna know what do you think about this PC I made:

CPU: i3-6100 3.7GHz (+ Intel HD 530) $120

GPU: none, the one in the i3

Motherboard: MSI B150M PRO-VDH $70

RAM: 2x4GB Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 2133 PC4-17000 CL14 $45

Storage unit: Kingston SSDNow V300 240GB $70

PSU: Enermax MaxPro 500W 80 Plus $60

Case: AeroCool CS-1102 USB3.0 $35

DVD: Asus DRW-24F1MT DVD burner 24x $20

Monitor: BenQ GW2270H 22" Full HD $130

Total: About $550 (including +$50 assembling)

Would you change something?

No problem with the motherboard, but you definitely should consider a better PSU. It's the most important part for a stable system. Could you provide a link to the store you are buying your parts from? We may be able to suggest a better and obviously a bit more expensive PSU.

The psu would i change yes,if you need a SFX psu look at the Silverstone 450W for instance.Seems like a normal atx case (?) which supports normal atx psu's so more options are there.Something like this,

is alot more expensive i know.Soemthing closer in price to the other one,

The motherboard doesn't support that high speed ram so keep the ram at 2133mhz,is probably cheaper as well.

Done, RAM changed. Actually there was something strange:

It costs the very same 2x4GB HyperX Fury DDR4 2133 PC4-17000 CL14 and a 8GB HyperX Fury DDR4 2666 PC4-21300 CL15. Why? Isn't it the second one better?

Also, how did you know I was using PCComponentes Store, Vic 40?

GhislainG, just say a bunch of PSU and my store will probably have them or I can ask them to buy it.

I didn't,when looking for the case did i end up there and hoped that it would suffice so don't worry,i'm not a hacker.

The seasonic would be a good psu for your build and still give the option to ugrade to a better gpu if you wanted.

Lol, you hacked my life dude!!!!
There are tons of stores in the internet, and you end up in the one I'm buying at. Therefore, God exists and Illuminati confirmed. :lol:

Alright, I'm changing it.

I agree with Vic 40; if a Seasonic made PSU is available, then you should seriously consider it.

But Seasonic is way too expensive

In the end will both work at 2133mhz,maybe that hte faster one can be made to work at a cas latency of 13,but that's something you only could try out and hope it would work.Still only a small difference between cas14 and cas 13.

Lol, you hacked my life dude!!!!

Yeah one of lifes surprises,sometimes luck is the deciding factor ... or even God

Alright, I'm changing it.

Good choice.

 

[rambomhtri]

I'm concerned about the motherboard. The Gigabyte GA-H110M-S2H has all the things I think I need:
HDMI, USB3.0, ethernet 1000Mb...

But I don't know if I need something better. May be more USB ports?
Although I can always add a x4USB3.0 PCI-e, in case I need it...

The one that you chose is very good: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/enermax-naxn-80-600-w-power-supply-review/

 

[rambomhtri]

OK, nice to hear it. By the way, besides more USB ports... what's the difference a $100 motherboard can make instead of the $60 one?

 

[GhislainG]

Buy a motherboard that has all options that you need. If an H110 doesn't have enough ports, then check for a B150 or an H170.

 

[rambomhtri]

But that was not my question xD

 

[Vic 40]

Can be alot of things,depends if you need them.

It could have more usb ports
it could have more sata ports
it could have raid as a function,not all chipsets support it
it could have more fan headers,when using more fans and want them controlled by the motherboard something to look at
it could have a better soundchip

to mention some things.

 

[GhislainG]

But that was not my question xD

The difference is options (more SATA and USB ports, sometimes a better audio controller, etc.) None of that makes a difference on performance with an i3-6100; that's why your criteria has to be your ports requirements. Saving $40 to then buy additional controllers may not be a wise decision.

 

[rambomhtri]

Why not?
Is it a bad idea to buy later a x4 USB3.0 PCI-e if I need more ports?

 

[GhislainG]

They sometimes don't work as well as the ports provided by the chipset. It really is up to you, but between the H110 and the H170 you could consider the B150 if it better meets your requirements.

 

[rambomhtri]

I've changed the MoBo, the PSU and the case. Better, right?

 

[Vic 40]

i would rather use this psu,

The motherboard seems fine to me.
The case is up to you,if you like it looking at the budget you have go for it.Looking in the same price range at that site from before would i rather go with this one,
http://www.pccomponentes.com/antec_gx200_negra_usb_3_0.html
psu at the bottom,spacious enough,still usb 3.0 at the front.
or since using a m-atx motherboard could you also look at this for just abit more,
