Complete PC for gaming

Obione

Wait for the new Intel generation coming out in a month.

Thanks for responding.

Franziskaner:

I would play everything I can with that budget, I don't need to max out the graphics.
I don't have anything, no hard drive, no keyboard, nothing, just speakers. Right now I use a laptop.
I think I also prefer a 3.5" hard drive, although I don't know which ones are better.
Is SLI using two graphics cards as if they were one?
A discreet and simple tower, without colored lights or window if possible.
As for the monitor, I prefer quality over size, I'll stick with the LED even if it's smaller.

G0D1N0:

No overclocking in principle.
I don't have hard drives, 2TB is enough for me.
Apart from the tower and monitor, I need a simple keyboard and mouse.
What about that Samsung SSD...?

Obione:

I wouldn't mind waiting, but I also don't want a PC that's cutting-edge, and new stuff is usually more expensive.

They are usually recommended wired on gaming PCs

@Sunbeam:

SSD -> Windows + programs + games

HDD -> Storage

Lately the prices are not exaggerated for quads and there is a socket change, I don't remember the estimated price (in $) but it was reasonable, I would expect them to be just around the corner.

something like this would be fine

From the options you've proposed, I've done some research and I'm going with this combination.

I have some doubts about the monitor, I've seen good reviews and not so good ones, but for that price and 23" I think they will all be similar. Any better options from your personal experience?

Do you think the processor fan is necessary? Because in the specifications it says it's included, but the PcComponentes configurator says it's mandatory.

Best regards.

CPU coolers as a rule and speaking very badly are: crap :troll:, especially if you plan to overclock, otherwise they are very noisy. For about 20 euros more you can get a micro (CPU) series K with real options for OC, anyway I think in this forum you were told to wait for the new Intel platform (which changes very often and I don't think it's a plan to buy the "old" one now)
if you wait a little the "old" platform will drop in price / and the new one will last longer (that's Intel not AMD)

I agree with Franziskaner. If you can wait 2 months perfect, and from the micro the K. From what I have read they go up, as a rule, much more than the normal ones.
And if it is to play get a wired mouse. Any logitech keyboard, even if it is wireless, and mouse the one that is most comfortable for you. "Design" (to call it something) and I end up always using a wired one because of the dpi issue. It helps a lot and in the end you don't even notice the cable.

Good luck

Sylver

Well, here's another one who supports the motion to wait for the new one. I won't say anything about the K designation of the micro since you claim not to want to OC in any case, and about the heatsink, more of the same... the stock one is acceptable, although in the long run the processor will appreciate one that's a little better.

A question:

If I buy a PC as I described above, and later I want to change the micro to one of the new Intel ones that you mention, will I need a new motherboard, or would it be compatible with the one I already have?

Best regards.

:troll::troll: on Intel platform? How funny.
Well, jokes aside, Intel changes the socket every time it changes platforms and therefore you would have to change the motherboard, that is the difference (apart from performance) between Intel and AMD
Best regards
P.D. Unless you are in a hurry, wait for the new Intel platform, that even in the worst case if you don't buy the new ones the old ones will go down in price.

@Sunbeam:

¿Por que no la B75M-ITX? Ademas esa que pones no sirve…

Huye de fuentes Corsair

¿Por que no las Ripjaws X?

Por curiosidad, grabadora en el 2013 ¿que usos le seguis dando?

@Sunbeam:

¿El ventilador del procesador lo véis necesario?

En tu caso no ya que el de Intel cumple mas que de sobra y es muy silencioso:

"La semana pasada me monte yo un pc ITX gammer y no se oye absolutamente nada"

@Sunbeam:

Si me compro un PC tal y como he descrito arriba, y más adelante quiero cambiar el micro por uno de los nuevos de Intel que comentáis ¿necesitaré una placa base nueva, o sería compatible con la que ya tendría?

Distinto socket, no seran compatibles

Seguramente no merezca la pena pasar de un i5 ivy bridge 1155 a un i5 haswell 1150

Nunca compres hardware nada mas salir al mercado como procesadores, graficas, placas base, etc

Why run away from Corsair sources?
