Hi guys! So im changing my pc (my current one is too old (from 2013) and with its 4gb ram, i3 3320, and r7 260x i cant do much) i want it to use mainly photoshop (i know it sounds stupid but trust me, with my current pc even that is an achievement) i want it to run fine without lag and all that.
Im a casual gamer not a pro one, and i am willing to play approximately 2-3 hours per day in the week, and 5-8 hours per day in the weekends. I play mostly strategy games, im not desperate to play the latest games with super graphics you know....with rome 2 total war running well im fine. That being said, i was wondering if you could help me, or at least advice me on pc stuff, because its been a while since i dont do this. So i will start putting on the components i was thinking, because i have done some research and found some good prices, especially in newegg.com and in amazon. Also, i have a Budget of 1100-1200 dollars. GPU: im aiming for an Nvidia Ge Force GTX 1070, not Ti, just 1070. Until now, the ones that i found affordable and good at the same time are this two: 1: [Minimum post requirement for links] 2: [Minimum post requirement for links] Both have 3 coolers. So with the GPU i think im the most decided, comparing with the other PC parts. i just want one of that two. CPU: For the CPU i was going for an Intel I7 7th/8th generation (i would like to have 9th generation but you know, money). Now, i dont know if it was my impression but i saw 7th generation prices very similar to the 8th generation ones, so i picked just two i7-8700 and one i7 7700 but that doesnt mean im between those, im open to any offer. 1: [Minimum post requirement for links] 2: [Minimum post requirement for links] 3:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N0L41N7/?coliid=I11O5L7U3NATBX&colid=2BHAZTSW97A4I&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it Now, i dont know anything about GHz, Turbo frecuency (i think that it is something like an overclock (?)), and Cores at all, i just see a higher number and tend to think its better but if you can help with that it would be good. RAM: With ram i first wanted 12gb ram because i said, well its in the middle you know, between 8gb (that i consider to be enough but in a couple of years maybe not) and 16gb (that i thought it would be too much for my actual needs) but after thinking it for a while and seeing that most of the motherboards have dual socket, i now consider 16gb (2x8gb) to be better than 12gb(3x4gb). So i searched for 16gb of ram, 2x8gb actually, and i found a lot of offers but the problem is that i dont know any RAM memory company. The only thing i know is that a friend of mine told me that 3000MHz DDR4 is better than DDR3, so i just picked the ones that said that. I picked a lot of RAM memories because there are a lot with the same prices. 1:https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233852&Description=16%20gb%20ram%20ddr4&cm_re=16_gb_ram_ddr4-_-20-233-852-_-Product 2:https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232298&Description=16%20gb%20ram%20ddr4&cm_re=16_gb_ram_ddr4-_-20-232-298-_-Product 3:https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232546&Description=16%20gb%20ram%20ddr4&cm_re=16_gb_ram_ddr4-_-20-232-546-_-Product 4:https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232417&Description=16%20gb%20ram%20ddr4&cm_re=16_gb_ram_ddr4-_-20-232-417-_-Product I can continue with the list because there where too many, so im not considering any of these to be the definitive one, if you know about something good just say it. SSD DISK : So i was planning to do a hybrid storage, with an internal 500gb SSD (in wich i would install Windows OS, Photoshop, a couple of useful programs, and maybe some Photoshop files) and a normal 1tb Hard Drive (in wich i would put normal files, like the rest of the programs, games, files like music.....you know the rest). I dont have any problems with the HD, ill just go and buy it, but the thing is the SSD. Its my first time buying one so i dont know much about it, i dont know which companies are the best. And i dont even know if buying a 500gb instead of a 250gb would worth it, because like i said i dont plan to fill it that much, just the OS, Photoshop and maybe a couple of things more. Anyway, i picked the next ones: 1: [Minimum post requirement for links] 2: [Minimum post requirement for links] 3: [Minimum post requirement for links] 4: [Minimum post requirement for links] 5:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LWQ9LYV/?coliid=I1F0LYPE04DTHL&colid=2BHAZTSW97A4I&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it 6:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072R78B6Q/?coliid=I2RYSJKWVWB84A&colid=2BHAZTSW97A4I&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it MOTHERBOARD : Well i consider this to be the hardest one, because i dont have any idea of motherboards, about which one is good or which one is bad. I also dont have much idea about which motherboard is compatible with the stuff i listed before. For that reason i couldnt search that much. I was going for the z270 because my friend has it, and he has a very similar setup, but i found that its not compatible with 8th or 9th generation Intel processors, so i looked for the z390 and thats all. I dont want a fancy motherboard, i dont care about its decoration or light effects or anything, i just want it to be functional and affordable, something like between 150 - 230 dollars because my Budget would be running low at this point. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Okay, so until here i would use my Budget (1100-1200 dollars), with the GPU, CPU, RAM, SSD Disk, and Motherboard. But i want to ask you one more thing: POWER SUPPLY: So i have a problem with this because i was going to use my current Sentey Essential EPP650 - PS of 650 Watts of power with the new PC. But today i entered to [Minimum post requirement for links] to know if it would be enough to run all the things i listed above, and the result said that i need 850w to run this PC. So that means that i have to expend more money on a new power supply. I wanted you guys to tell me if this is accurate, if i really need to change it, and in that case what power supplies you recommend. ___________________________________________________________________________________ I know that what i ask is a lot, really, but it would very helpful to me since i really need a new PC, anyway i hope that some PC or Tech fanatics answer my call. Thanks!!! |
