Hallo guys,
nice to be here, first. I'd like to show you a configuration I was thinking about.
I live in Shanghai, China, thus Amazon.cn is the only viable option for me here. Other online shops may be as well, but I'd really prefer a reliable website.

This config was meant for gaming.
I usually play Eve Online, thus my requirements are not high, yet I'd like to have something I could play a bunch of games with, not ...high, neither low settings. A good compromise between value and system.

Prices are in yuan (currently 1usd=0.16cny approx).

total is approx cny 7500, thus usd 1000

Would like not to increase that. If possible to lower it a little.


What you think?



Cheers.

I think it's a good build. two things:

a) you are putting a lot of money on RAM, I hope it justifies in performance/reliability
b) I am not very knowledgeable on graphics cards, but I remember having read somewhere that AMD is better with performance/watt these days
 
Hi Half Life, thanks.
I'm thinking of evaluating RAM. Read it is quite good, but I'll search a bit more.
For GPU, yes, sure AMD is good for performance and overall but...I admit, I senslessly prefer Nvidia. Marketing won. I would always regret not having bought a Nvidia.
 
Got it!

Final setup is:
motherboard - MSI Z87-G43
processor - i5 e4670k
gpu - nvidia msi gtx n760
hdd - seagate 1t
no ssd for the moment
dvd player - lg
pcu - enermax ex550
ram - corsair 2x4gb
case - coolermaster 430
video - asus 23'' as above

Working perfectly! 🙂

Would have expected probably a bit more resolution from the monitor, but...that's it. Ok in games.

Cheers!
