Hello all!
I'd like to apologize in advance for any spelling/grammar mistakes I may make, I'm not a native speaker and I am writing this from my phone since my beloved laptop died on me last week! This motivated me to look around and decide to build my first desktop computer.
I will use this computer mainly for gaming, I want to be able to play battlefield 3, far cry 3, arma 2/3, and other games like these on ultra settings (hopefully!)
My budget for this build is 1200euros MAX! (Windows 8, or7 included, I do not have a preference, whichever is best for gaming) monitor also included, I don't have one in mind but was thinking of a 24".
As I said above, I am from France and plan on getting my parts on materiel.net, a French website, hope you guys will manage with it and I'd you need any translation let me know!
I do not plan on overclocking right away, I want to wait and get a better cooler first but I first have to get the money!
Size is not a problem and noise isn't either (I'd like to keep it reasonable anyways, I don't want to have a airplane reactor in my living room!)
I also want to be able to upgrade and maybe get a second gpu in the future.
All that being said, lets get to the components!
CPU: AMD FX-6300
MOBO: GA-990XA-UD3
RAM: CORSAIR VENGEANCE 2x4GB 1866MHz (about that RAM speed I'm not sure the CPU and MOBO supports it but is it optimal?)
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD7950 with boost 3GB
PSU: CORSAIR CX BRONZE Modular 500W (maybe a 600W for future upgrades?)
CASE: NZXT Lexa S USB 3.0 Edition (feel free to suggest another case, this one looks now and looks like it has pretty decent airflow)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200 1TB
SSD: Samsung Serie 840- 120GB
Mouse and keyboard: already have those
MONITOR: any 24" you recommend
OS: Windows 8/7
I think this is all, I hope I followed the right format and look forward to your advice/critique in order to get the best performance for my money!
Thanks in advance!
