Dynas Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Here you go check this out. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3B7b9 Only hickup is you'll need to provide your own keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Basic Rundown: CPU: i5-4670k Haswell i5 CPU and the k version means it's unlocked for overclocking. Also because ivy bridge boards are starting to become more and more unsupported. CPU Cooler: Cooler Master 212 EVO It's inexpensive and it works. Also, you said we'd be overclocking you'll need a custom cooler. Basically put the backplate on the back of the motherboard, lay down your thermal grease, then screw in the cooler. Motherboard: ASRock Z87 Extreme 3 When it comes to motherboards there's several different ways you can go. We're on a limited budget so that limits things a bit. The Z87 chipset is required if we're going to overclock. ASRock generally has a good record and decent support. Also the motherboard is packed with features and has a nice aesthetic. RAM: GSkill memory has a lifetime warranty. 8 gigs is most you'll need if strictly gaming for awhile. It's inexpensive and the ARES series is the low profile version so that'll help with any clearance issues with the cooler. Storage: Kingston SSDNow300 Series and 1 TB Caviar Blue Western Digital SSD is strictly for OS and OFTEN used programs. The other is for the rest of your stuff. GPU: EVGA 760 Superclocked There's other brands here we could've gone for but EVGA is great and it comes with a high base clock out of the box. 760 is NVidia and pretty damn good for mostly anything you'll be playing at high quality settings for most games and ultra for some at 1080p. Case: Corsair 200R Inexpensive, has great cable routing and airflow. Case is going to be largely up to you here. You're the one that's going to be stuck looking at this everyday so make sure you like it. PSU: Corsair CX500 Bronze Plus rated 500 watts will be just fine for any single GPU setup plus overclocking. Corsair is very reputable brand for power and this particular unit has a 3 year warranty. Bronze rating also means it will run efficient, which means less power draw than one that isn't. Optical Drive: Samsung blahblahblah It's cheap. OS: Windows 7 Because I hate 8. Go with 8 if you like 8. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
