Need your advice, suggestions, coments: upgrading my computer specs

[sanjoa]

I'm having in consideration a SAPPHIRE RADEON R7 260X OC 2GB DDR5 video card, it's not so expensive. Would you recommend me an alternative 850 watt power supply brand? It seems Cooler Master V850 is not available or difficult to find in here.

[rudrax]

No, that's not how the graphics cards are priced. I'll find one for you. But I don't know if that costs twice in your country

[rudrax]

Corssair is very good for PSU. You don't need a 850 watt unless you decide to use CrossFireX or SLi. That's a overkill. A 600 watt PSU will fullfil your needs, IMO. Ask dcs18 too regarding this.

Edit: You can choose from one of these PSUs:

@dcs18 your opinion regarding power supplies will be very apreciated.

R7 260X vs R7 250

So R7 260X is better :think:

[rudrax]

Way better.

[sanjoa]

I can spend a bit more regarding the video card.

Are you gonna play games in more than 1080p resolution?

You can do any GPU demanding task with an Overclocked R7 260x.

As long as you are not a hardcore gamer, you won't be needing better than this one. I would suggest, to expense those extra pennies to have a i7 instead. Having a i7 will give you a complete different computing experience. You can also opt for water cooling system rather than air cooling. This will increase the life span of your hardwares.

I won't play games in more than 1080p resolution. Also there's not 4K screens for that yet in here. An I7 cost almost three time more than AMD FX 8350. Water cooling? I'm a noob in that.

Alright. Tell me how much you can expense for the CPU (in USD). I'll find one.

The setup is 4K ready. You van watch 4K videos in 4K screens too with this setup. However, playing games at more than 1920x1080 resolution is questionable.

Skip the water cooling step for now as that may need pro knowledge. Add that money to CPU as CPU will ship with the necessary fan and heat sink itself.

[VileTouch]

tbh you do not REALLY need water cooling. in fact i would advise against so unless you are VERY experienced in the field. and even then there's a risk of a tiny leak that ends up frying your investment. (which begs the question: is it worth it?) i have an i7 2600k with a coolermaster hyper t4 on it and it's VERY quiet and cool. (34ºC - 45ºC) and it's also cheaper than a WC system.

400 USD is how much I'd like to expense.

Also my case has a big cooler in top (and place to put one more)-

You are about to buy HDD, right? Don't buy slower than 7200 r.p.m.

And you also need to have a SSD. 32 GB or 64 GB where your OS will be installed. So I suggest, if you have a external HDD, you should buy 1 TB one at the moment. With SSD as boot drive, you can have some serious performance onboard.

SSD is not included on my budget. Also it's a bit messy to config the installation on other things on them

[rudrax]

It's not messy at all. Just be sure to have a cabinet that has a slot for 2.5 inch SSD. You gotta have this, else, people will laugh at you when you will tell them that you built a $2500 rig where there's no i7 and SSD. You have to make budget by reducing the size of your mechanical drive to 1TB.

Here's how a good 64 GB SSD costs http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004W2JKWG/ref=redir_mdp_mobile

And hybrid hdds?

[rudrax]

They are cool too. They have on-board SSD. But I don't know how efficient they are as I've never used them.

[sanjoa]

My budget is getting short with this things. Also I've not decided if I go for AMD or INTEL, yet.

[rudrax]

Don't mess up with things.

Make up your mind

Make the list

Get the items

Assemble them and start fapping.

Going to bed now :sleep:

see ya!

According to this site, I need at least 796watt PSU if I choose the AMD specs and 600watt PSU if I choose INTEL specs.

[rudrax]

You see! AMD is power hungry monster and that means it runs hot. Intel is technologycally way better than AMD. Of course, AMD has better GPUs than Intel but in the desktop CPU market, Intel is the pioneer. Chosing Intel one will also help you save a few bucks on the PSU, which you can later add to the SSD.

What I say is, you should get the major parts as the best. HDD, RAM kind of components can be easily upgraded in future without replacing existing ones. But the parts like CPU, MOBO, PSU, GPU*, Cabinet etc. are not upgradable without replacing the existing one. So you have to buy the best of them as far possible.

So, the things that you can add (not replace) later, you can buy half the capacity of them for now in order to adjust the budget temporarily.

* - In case sanjoa becomes a pro hardcore gamer in future and is going to have a CrossFireX system in, you can add another GPU too without replacing the existing one.

It's a little power difference between them. And I'm an AMD fan since computers where as big as a room :P :P ... I don't think an SSD is necesary right now.
