Pricy, and probably would need more from the PSU?
For the price alone it's a nono, can't afford
To go with the fact I'd probably need a bigger PSU, it'd cost me a bit more again, which is a nono As well as I'm getting the Watch Dogs from with GTX760, I save around 50-60€ from that
RE: New computer. - Malibu - 2014-05-31 23:25
What do you mean need a bigger PSU?
RE: New computer. - Roba - 2014-06-01 10:34
More powerful?
RE: New computer. - Cranked - 2014-06-01 11:47
Yeah but surprisingly its not too bad on power consumption for what it is, its always good to have a powerful PSU anyway just for future's sake so you wont be diging out of your graphics card budget to upgrade the PSU in a years time.
been using this psu for 2 years now still going great abit pricey but you pay for what you get! quality over quantity all day!!

RE: New computer. - Roba - 2014-06-01 11:52
Yes yes, but really I would buy every part the best you can get for your money, if I had money!
As I said, my current list is 5€ away from my budget.
RE: New computer. - Malibu - 2014-06-01 20:30
As long as you don't do SLI, don't have an ultra high end GPU and have a quality PSU, 500W should be plenty. You could go 600 if you don't feel comfortable but the specifications of PC conponents always give a higher minimum wattage requirements to compensate for bad quality PSU's.

Bearing in mind future updates to the setup could include parts with higher power requirements, which would mean I would most likely need to update the PSU before it's time.
RE: New computer. - FR4NOx - 2014-06-04 22:05
Parts are becoming more power efficient; I personally wouldn't be concerned about higher power requirements.
RE: New computer. - Bez - 2014-06-05 09:14
You can always check what the graphics card's minimum PSU is by going onto Nividia's or ATI's website under the specifications tab of your graphics card.
RE: New computer. - Roba - 2014-06-05 19:13
Well I'm going for the PSU as listed. Any other recommendations? The price shouldn't go higher, as it would mean I can't afford it..
RE: New computer. - Malibu - 2014-06-05 23:52
Still recommend the Seasonic S12II-Bronze 520W or the 620W version, you said they were modular but they are not, that's the M12II.
And I don't understand why you say the new generation i5 is bad, it's newer technology (better optimization) and higher ranked in benchmarks ( http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html ).
You seemed to have made up your mind about all the components (with bad argumentation in my opinion), but I really advise you to do some more research before buying this.
RE: New computer. - Roba - 2014-06-06 10:51
The page is not found.
I saw a comparison of the i5's, and agreed that it's not that much better it would be worth to buy.
But I'll look into it again, if I can find it..

Was as easy as removing the ")." at the end of the link.

Oh, was on mobile
RE: New computer. - Roba - 2014-06-06 19:34
Well, what would be my benefits for changing "Intel Ivy Bridge i5-3570K, LGA1155, 3.4GHz, 6MB" to "Intel Xeon E3-1230V2, FCLGA1155, 3.3GHz, 8MB" in gaming?
RE: New computer. - FR4NOx - 2014-06-06 20:32
Would have the same benefits as buying an i7. Not much to benefit from.
RE: New computer. - Roba - 2014-06-06 21:49
The Xeon would be the next choice due to prices.. Everyone says the i5 would be better for gaming.
RE: New computer. - FR4NOx - 2014-06-06 23:23
You can overclock a 3570k, you cannot overclock a Xeon. The higher potential clockspeeds with the i5 would make it better for gaming.
RE: New computer. - Roba - 2014-06-07 09:26
Alright, thanks. I didn't really find anything better with same price or cheaper from the link you posted malibu, so I'll be sticking with the 3570k for now.
