Computer for 600

[adriamarva]

And a friend recommended this motherboard to me, what do you think? Asus z87k costs a little more, but I don't know the differences! merci!

With the 4770 and with a modest budget as if you are going to a B75, there is some decency, after all to take it as standard... http://xtremmedia.com/?q=cconfig/view#A011653,A001648,A002314,A001243,A011562_op,A012650,A007068,A018967,A019588

Great, do you recommend any store on Sepulveda street in BCN to get all my equipment? merci!!

[adriamarva]

It's that there are so many... I don't know which one will be better!!!

[Obione]

No idea, many of us buy online around here.

One of the well-known online stores is in Barcelona:

[adriamarva]

Well I stopped by LIFE on Sepulveda Street, it was the store that matched the internet prices the most! So it's almost decided!

[adriamarva]

I already have the components almost decided, in the end my budget will be tight but it will be worth it.

Asrock X79 Extreme6 - Motherboard

Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5Ghz Box

Samsung 840 Evo SSD Series 120GB SATA3

Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 2TB SATA3 64MB

Cooler Master Silencio 450

I already have a power supply from 3 years ago Corsair 650w

I already have a DVD/disket reader

Graphics card (for now) is the one on the motherboard

And I'm stuck on the RAM part, I want 16 gigs but I don't know which one to choose...

The Asrock motherboard accepts this:

• Quad Channel DDR3 memory technology
• 8 x DDR3 DIMM slots
• Supports DDR3 2400+(OC)/2133(OC)/1866(OC)/1600/1333/1066 non-ECC, un-buffered memory
• Supports DDR3 ECC, un-buffered memory with Intel® Workstation 1S Xeon® processors E5 16xx/26xx/46xx series socket LGA 2011
• Maximum system memory capacity: 64GB*
• Supports Intel® Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) 1.3 / 1.2

What do I do? merci! :wall:;D

You messed up with the Motherboard, because you put a model for the LGA2011 platform (socket), with a processor for LGA1150.

I understand that you want an ASRock Z87 Extreme 6 instead of an ASRock X79 Extreme 6, as you put above, because the LGA2011 platform is much more expensive.

About the memories, a G.Skill RipjawsX 16GB PC3-12800 Kit for ~133€, can be a good option.

Salu2!

[adriamarva]

Right! hehe!

[adriamarva]

G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 1600 PC3-12800 8GB 2x4GB CL7 F3-12800CL7D-8GBXM DDR3 Memory

These have CL7 latency, so I think I'll do this 2x4 gigabytes and over time I'll get a couple more or I don't know yet we'll see. What do you think?

[Fassou]

Those memories would serve you perfectly, but remember that when you want to expand you have to buy another pair of memories exactly like those, or replace them with others of greater capacity, like the ones I recommended or larger.

Salu2!

[adriamarva]

Alright already I'm almost a bore I know it! :wall:

ASROCK Z87 EXTREME4 - Motherboard (I'll stick with the 4 instead of the 6)

CPU Intel Core i7-4770K

G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 1600 PC3-12800 8GB 2x4GB CL7

Samsung 840 Evo SSD Series 120GB SATA3

Seagate 3.5" 2TB SATA3 BARRACUDA

Corsair Hydro Series H90 /!!FAN CHANGE!!/ GOOD OPTION?

Power supply I ALREADY HAVE from 3 years ago Corsair 650w (Will it be too SHORT for me?)

DVD/disket drive I already have

Graphics the one on the motherboard (for now)

Give your opinions and I'll close the thread already merci!

[Fassou]

I don't see the Hydro H90, because spending ~80€ is a lot, considering the Cooler Master Seidon 240M is 87€, and probably the stock cooler will cover your needs, but if you think you need it :mute:

Regarding the micro, I would save some money by choosing the i5 4670K, but I also don't know if you need an i7 for your programs.

Everything else is OK!

Regards!

[adriamarva]

Ok I'll take your advice about the heatsink, I've read that it gets hot and I've seen people who had the Corsair version with two fans. When choosing between the i5 or i7 I opted for the latter because of audio production, huge plugin libraries... tracks bla bla bla...

[adriamarva]

You are right I think I will do without a heatsink and use the one that comes with the processor!

[adriamarva]

G.Skill TridentX DDR3 1600 PC3-12800 16GB 2x8GB CL7 F3-1600C7D-16GTX DDR3 Memory

How about these CL7 and they are 8 gigabytes each, more expensive.. but that's what it has! isn't it?

[Fassou]

They are equally valid for you, but on the micro, if you do not plan to overclock and the programs you use are very demanding, you might be more interested in the i7 4770 which is a bit cheaper and does not have some special instructions disabled, which are locked in the K versions :( Salu2!

[adriamarva]

You are right, ARK | Compare Intel Products Is it worth it to get the i7-4771 for a few more euros?

[Fassou]

It's ~25€ for 100Mhz more on each of the 4 cores, so I would invest in something else, because Turbo mode is 3.9Ghz on both models, and most of the time they will be idle.

In the end, did you assemble it or do you order it with assembly?

Cheers!

If at first I put it together with some help if I'm in a hurry from my uncle who is a computer scientist.

I'm thinking of making a radical change… switch to socket 2011, because the i7_3820 with 10 of cache and such... I don't know I started looking at how the macbook pros of the tower are made.. Obviously I can't buy a Xeon, but carai this processor is not bad at all.
