Ok so I took what you gave me in the last thread and got informed on what I actually want. Down below are the components I'm planning to buy. If you want, do share your opinion. Namely I'd like to know if this is a good build. I'm pretty confident it is but I'd still like one last confirm. CPU - Intel Core 1150 i5-4690 Ci5 Box (3,5GHz) Motherboard - Gigabyte H97 D3H HSF - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Fan(s?) - Noctua NF-F12 Note: Planning to buy one to put in the back of my case for a bit of better airflow GPU - MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G NVIDIA GeForce Storage - HDA 1000GB Seagate ST1000DX001 Deskt. SSHD SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Hybrid D Note: I know what you're thinking, that I'd be better off buying an SSD and an HDD separately. I would if my budget would allow it and I'm just below it with this build. May get these two in a future hypothetical upgrade when I'll have some extra euros to spare. For now, I'll deal with the little longer loading times. RAM - Kingston HyperX Fury Kit Memory DDR-III da 16 GB, 2x8 GB, PC 1600 PSU - EVGA SuperNOVA 650 GS Note: I'm very concerned with this particular component. I was going for a Corsair CX series but people advised against it. Will this one PSU do the trick? Also, I did one of them power supply tests and I ''scored'' 400W. Heard some breathing room can be beneficial, how exactly still isn't very clear to me but I won't take any chances here Case - Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case Monitor - Philips 223V5LSB2/10 Note: Checked the specs for this one: 21.5 inches 1920x1080 resolution at 60hz with 5ms refresh rate. Would you recommend it? I've been playing Skyrim for a year now with a 1366 x 768 monitor at 60hz. The resolution was crap (especially considering that the laptop I've been playing it on isn't even designed for gaming) but in small cells that my laptop could actually handle it was fairly smooth. I know I know, the amount of FPS' depends mostly on the GPU + CPU but you need a good monitor to show its full potential as well, no? I checked for compatibility and there should be no conflicts (do correct me if I'm wrong).
