Pug 130 Posted May 30, 2015 hey guys i recently built my first desktop. Had been wanting one for year but had only had a 4gb dual core laptop available and i was having to wipe it twice a year to keep it fast enough for me not to slat it across the room. So i finally started saving for parts and started buying them one by one for about 3 months or so lol. Anyway here is the setup: Parts: MSI Z97 PC-MATE i5-4670k 3.4ghz Veng blue 4GB x 2 ASUS R9 270X 2gb Hyper Master 212 CPU Cooler SAMSUNG 120GB SSD WD 1TB HDD NZXT S340 Black case 600W Power Pic: Whats everyone think? its by far not the best set up ever, but for under £600 i think its pretty beasty.
krotis 5 Posted May 30, 2015 Very nice, but wouldnt it be better if you downgraded to a 500w power supply, removed the 212 evo and the 1tb hdd. You could have gone with a 280x(they are relative cheap now cause pirate series is on the way) and a 250gb ssd instead.

I was lucky though got 2 980 for 500euro when they were on sale
Pug 130 Author Posted May 30, 2015 How much FPS do you run GTA with and which settings? i can run GTA on full ultra settings apart from population density which i have to put on half else i crash my Gfx card lol. I dont mind that though because textures and shadows and anti alias are maxed out which gives the best gameplay experience i think. get solid 50fps all day long aw:D Well here in sweden the AMD series have dropped in price alooot. sometimes you find the 280/280x cheaper then 270x. I was lucky though got 2 980 for 500euro when they were on sale damn really o.0 id love to get a better gfx card but i couldnt justify spending more on one than i spent on the cpu lol. Maybe in the future once it starts to get abit tired i'l upgrade. looks sick thanks dude! ive loved building it and it runs like a fooking dream
Zeimten 17 Posted June 28, 2015 I like it all, just thinking maybe instead of Over priced intel just go for a AMD fx 8320 8core cpu. It still handles like a boss. Yes intels are great, I still sticks intels in my desktops but for the price if you want to save money but have that power.. wooo weeee that'll do it. The r9 270 I don't know much about but they're right the 280x is cheap now days. Awesome build, how much USD did that cost? I'd assume around 650-750$ usd?
