New build

[Cornholio]

Hello all,
My current PC is most probably motherboard-dead, so it is time to get a new one most likely.
I am aiming for 1000€, no more than 300 over that limit. Silence and cooling is a MUST. I am tired of overheated mobos and GPUs. I want to be able to play games without having to check temps every 5 seconds.
I am opting for choosing the compenents and having the store put them together.
The website is spanish, if you dont understand I can translate here or have google translate translate the page for you
PLEASE, no TDR or stability errors. Ive seen enough of those.
Here is my current selection:

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

That looks like a good build to me. That is a really nice case.

That H70 is very cool (pun intended). If you are planning on overclocking your CPU that is a nice hybrid solution. But if you do not plan on CPU overclocking you might put that purchase off and just get the additional optional fans for the case instead.

Keeping the inside of the case cool and flowing is the key to intensive graphics use.

That looks like a great build. You will like the MB. I debated between it and the extreme4 and ended up with the extreme4. It is solid as arock. Great case too. The only thing I see missing is an SSD. You'll like the machine and enjoy it. Good Luck.

 

[Cornholio]

Great! I plan on purchasing an ssd when they get a bit cheaper and run my os off it.
Any suggestions on cutting maybe 100€?
Maybe a GTX 470?
Is the RAM brand Exceleram any good?
Thanks to everyone for their input.

I've never heard of that brand of ram. I use G Skill Ripjaws X serise DDR3-1866. It was specially designed for the SB. It also gets 7.9 on wei.

The graphics card is up to you and what you will use it for. You can get a SAPPHIRE 100297L Radeon HD 5830 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 in the US for about 110.00. It gets good reviews. or try a PowerColor AX6870 1GBD5-M2DH Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 for 198.00 US. The 6870 gets very good reviews. I will probably get one of the 2. They use less power and create less heat than Nividia. Just some suggestions.

I'm interested in Nvidia because i want to use 3d in the future. I going to see what the budget looks like with the g.skill ream. Any issues with regards to ram compatibility?
Thanks to everyone for their input!

I had no issues at all. just go to the OC tab select load XML, set to auto, in the dropdown list for frequency, select 1866. save and exit. It runs perfect at the rated voltage and timings.

Ill post in a few seconds the new budget :-D

New budget:
Can it run solitaire?:-D

I put 1300 instead of 1866. Is there much of a diff?

 

[essenbe]

It should work OK with 1333. I don't know if it will make much of a difference or not. I have just always preferred faster ram.

that will make for a sweet system, however i would see about finding anything but seagate for the hdd. seagate hdd's have a tendency of running very hot. as for running ati over nvidia i would stick with the nvidia, better driver support. i have a friend running the 560 ti and loves it.

 

[Cornholio]

Good
Any good, cheap monitors out there?
Thanks to everyone for the help, here go some rep points :-D

I follow your exact reasoning :-D
I already have the Seagate thats on there, and it runs quite cool

Not sure exactly what kind of monitor you are looking for. Check Here see if you find something you like. I have an Asus VW246H and I like it.

I have GSkill Ripjaws on a AMD board which was designed to be used with Intel CPU's and it is solid and quick. 7.5 WEI, if it means anything.
On the monitor there seems to be an issue with Samsung and Microsoft which causes different color profiles to pop up among other conflicts. I have a Samsung and have experience.
My nVIDIA GTX460 does run kind of hot just running a nVIDIa screensaver, went over 98C.
Check your chosen mobo approved RAM list (QVL) too even though those are not always complete. I'm also using a Seagate HDD and have had no problems with heat, usually 32C-35C, depending on ambient temps.

 

[essenbe]

Britton30 is right about the Seagates. I have 2 in my machine that never get over about 33.

 

[Cornholio]

C98c on a screensaver?!?!?! How? Maybe i shoul get the Windforce 470
And about the mobo: Is there any better and stronger one for the same price?
How about AMDs bulldozer? Will it be better than 1155?
And how about the life of these parts? I dont want to have to RMA anything until a long time after purchase.
Again, thank all of you for your great help.

 

[essenbe]

I don't think you will find a MB with the features of the one you chose for the same price. As far as longevity. Who knows. They haven't been out long enough to compare. I don't believe anyone knows about Bulldozer. I'm waiting for it to come out and see some reviews. It is supposed to be released in June last I heard.

Just remember, whatever you choose, there will be a better one out within 6 months. If Bulldozer is better than Sandy Bridge, then what will Ivey Bridge be like. It is supposed to be out later this year. And what about the Intel Z68 MB? Will that be better than these? Just choose something that will do what you need it to do, and enjoy it. Whatever you chose will be beaten out within 6 months.

 

[Cornholio]

True
How about the GFX card temps? I dont want to burn the GPU while playing minesweeper
Thanks to all for your fantastic help, I really appreciate it.

case fans and a fan built into your Gpu should be enough.
