After we bought a house last month, I have been spending I a bit more than I'm comfortable with to random thing ranging from carpets to tumble dryers. One thing I have been specifically eager to buy is a gaming capable computer though. My wife's Dell XPS AIO just doesn't cut it for games with its laptop GPU, and now we finally have room for another computer.
Few days ago I saw a gaming computer with GTX 1070 for 1030 euros, which I thought was really good price. However after some pondering I decided that too many corners had been cut in other parts of that system, namely 1 generation old i5-6400, only 8 GB ram and some cheap quality parts. So I decided to go via the custom build route with the same budget.
For 1030 euros I managed to order:
-i5-7500
-2x8GB Crucial DDR4-2133-CL15
-MSI RX 480 Gaming X 8GB
-250 GT Samsung EVO 850 SSD
-2 TB Seagate Barracuda
-Enermax MaxPro 500W PSU
-TP-link 300Mb WLAN card
-Gigabyte GA-B250M-DS3H mATX mainboard
-Jonsbo C3 mATX case
-Windows 10 Home (Deutsch)
-Shipping from Germany to Finland
Userbenchmark.com tells me I should be looking about 694% increase in GPU speed compared to the 640M. Maybe I can finally play My Summer Car. :lol:
I still need to buy a new display. I have been looking at
Lenovo P27q-10, but as it seems to be a new model, there are not any reviews around, and I need to see some of them before committing myself. My almost 10 year old 24" BenQ will have to do for time being.
