Computer for 600

[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!

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!

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!

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.

[adriamarva]

Asus P9X79 PRO And this motherboard. Otherwise everything is the same

[adriamarva]

Forget what I said. ajajaja :wall:
