Red-themed first gaming rig
What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.
- GTAV, Tower Unite (towerunite.com), heavily modded Garry's Mod, XCOM 2, ROTR, Everspace,Rocket League, a few other games but none in particular.
What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?
- €750
When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.
- In next 2 weeks
What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)
- Case, keyboard, components, monitor.
Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?
- Ireland, buying from UK and German sites.
If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.
- I have this GPU:
Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?
- My graphics card is factory overclocked.
Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)
- SSD, 2TB HDD. Thinking of starting with pentium G4560 and later upgrading.
Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?
- Red, currently looking towards CiT F3 case which is micro-ATX
Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?
- No.
Extra info or particulars:
This is a rough list of my current idea: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/pqnrQV
QUESTIONS: Do I need to buy thermal paste for these components? Anti-static wristbands? Any other special tools for a first build? What about cooling - is extra cooling needed?
** Thanks in advance **
