New GAMING PC, please assist me. ORDER MADE!

[Panos_]

Looks like a good purchase here

Post pics when you´ve set it up 

Just spoke with the shop I placed the order, and they told me that for an extra 20 euros they can assembly the pc, as long as I bring them the case.


I never build up a pc from scratch, but I saw a couple of videos last night, and it doesnt seem so tricky really.

Maybe ill just do it and pray that i wont fuck things up

Pay the extra. PC-building is for manlets (handsizewise).

If you've never done it before it'll be safer to pay the money. It's not that difficult just time consuming and fiddly but if you've spent all that cash and fuck something up there will be rage.

Well, that is a never ending cycle isn't it? Just build it, building a PC is pretty retard proof, the only thing you can easily fuck up is thermal paste, so be sure to check out how to do that properly.

I've just recently assembled a whole system of brand new parts. All from scratch and for the first time ever. The fear of fucking things up was real. But I did it without issues anyway. I might have spent double the time an experienced user would. Still it was a triumph.

You can do it too. Just be well prepared beforehand.

20 euros for building is nothing, I'd even argue it's too cheap and you risk having them do errors and such.

Lots of things are never ending circles. Like paying for food. 20 euros every 5ish years seems okay.

Mostly this. Nowadays you can barely do something wrong when putting the pieces together for your own pc, if you plugged some parts wrong and turn it on, nothing will catch fire or stuff, it just won´t work. Hey, even I managed to set up my pc here and I´m no rocket scientist.
But if you´re not that much into tinkering, didn´t like to play LEGO or just don´t want to bother with it, let it assemble it for you, 20 bucks is really cheap for that.

So all in all, it simply depends on if you want to put it together yourself or not.

Just remember the most important rule:

Be earthed or you might fry some components.

Should have saved more money and got a an Intel CPU. I had an AMD FX 8350 a while ago and it's not bad, but for an extra £100 you can get high end Intel CPUs which piss all over the FX 83xx. You can always upgrade that later though I guess, if I had known you were going to build a PC a few weeks ago I would have sold you my FX 8350 for £70

Except if you plug the 1394 on the USB front panel pins or inversely.

1000€ ?

GTX960 OC 4go (MSI)
i5 4690("k" if you want to overcloak) (i7 are useless for games atm, maybe in 5-8yo, it will)
16go RAM (4x4, not 2x8)
120go or 240go SSD (ONLY FOR WINDOWS INSTALLATION and maybe some few games but it has to be almost empty)
2To HDD Seagate Barracuda or Green Caviar. (If I was you, i'd put 2x2to HDD)
MotherCard Z97 MSI (socket 1150) or MSI B85-G43 GAMING for exemple.
Any hardcase ATX or mini-ATX
Alim' 650Watts should be largly ok with a great 24" Screen + Mouse/Keyboard + Joystick etc..

 

For exemple : http://www.topachat.com/pages/configomatic.php?c=Nigny9GYY4SSDNPqAw7YjH%2B1m3rlb2ty3SYKNbtM1MI%3D


DONT CARE BOUT PRICES ON THIS WEBSITE, THEY ARE TOOK FROM THEIR PROVIDERS (not always cheaper stuff) ==> TYPE ALL THOSE COMPONENTS ONE BY ONE ON GOOGLE FOR THE BEST PRICES AND YOU'LL CAN SAVE AROUND ~10% !

And of course... Windows is around 250€ so.. If you wanna buy it.. Then buy it, but you know what i mean.. huuuum huuuum !
But if i can give you an advice.. Take "Windows Seven Ultimate 64bits" Not Win10 for the moment.


With that PC dude... You'll make the games asking "how can he resists to us!"


Cheers !
