I need help in buying/building a new PC. My budget and requirements are as follows:
- Budget: 30,000
- Existing hardware setup: E7500, G31 Mobo, 2GB Ram, 2x1TB drivers, XFX 7770 , 27" QHD, CX430 PSU
- Components from the existing setup that you intend to keep: 2x1TB drivers, R9 270x, 27" QHD Shimian,
- Components that you have in mind for your new PC
I've already purchased a R9 270x, I'm looking at the i5 4440 and a H97 Mobo.
I'm confused between a mATX and a normal ATX setup, Gigabyte has a H97 Wifi edition for around 10k, I've also seen a CM 130 and Antec ISK600 however heat is a concern given the gfx card.
mATX is simply for the looks, I don't want it to bite me in the ass later thou. I dont mind a mid tower for around 3-4k
I also need 8GB ram 4x2 is what I was thinking, under 5k. A normal ATX setup will save me money on the Cabby and the mobo.
Lastly I was wondering if my CX430 would be able to handle all this, I want to cut corners since I just lost a 7770 which flamed up! and I've already spent on a 270x so I don't want to go above 30k.
Since my use is casual, another option is to buy a i3 proccy but I don't know how future proof 2 cores will be, with the money saved I can buy a SSD.
Here is a deal on Prime at the moment:
