First Build

chai90

Hey everyone im new to this forum and i would appreciate any help.
I want to build a new pc mostly for gaming. Originally i wanted to do it myself but since i never done it before im not so sure now.. I did bit of research and found that hardwareversand.de is good and cheap shop for building . I came up with this configuration in their pc configurator:

My budget is around 750 euro with monitor,delivery + assembly.
So my question is this configuration any good? Also if im going to order it from hwvs whats the best method of paying?
Is their delivery, pc assembly and service reliable? Since ive never ordered pc and picked configuration im totally confused now

not bad at all...I'd change the PSU for a better known make such as Corsair but the rest of it looks ok.
The motherboard? Does that support DDR2 or DDR3 ram as you've ordered DDR3 ram.

chai90

motherboard is DDR3 .
Yeah i know PSU looks kinda dodgy but their configurator limits me to 680 watts psu when i choose good gfx like 4870. Will this one be better

Just split the order into seperate items at the end, remove the PSU and put it a new one. Corsair 550 W should be more than ample for your needs.

Ok, But if i split it will they assemble it? The 'Rechner - Zusammenbau' stays in the basket so i suppose it should be..
Anyone who ordered with hwvs had any troubles?
Oh ya another question anyone knows if they assemble it do they boot it up and check and configure bios or just send it straight away?

It have noticed it does still put the pc assembly charge in the basket alright. I have not ordered a built pc myself but I have seen others reccomend doing the split here. I presume somebody must have done it before successfully

Anyone confirm for absolutely sure?

I bought all my stuff seperately from them so I can't help there sadly. Am I the only one who doesnt like the look of the case? Maybe I'm just too used to my furnace of a computer to think about nice stock temps and quiet fans :pac:

One personal problem I had with an item on that list is the dvd drive. I bought the same one and it died within a month. I bought a samsung one for €28 and it's been working much better. That's my own personal experience though, I'm sure others have had no problems with that drive.

As in save up an extra €25 for the CPU

If OP is already planning on getting a better PSU then we just started the what if game.

"What if I upgrade the cpu"
"What if I upgrade the psu"
"What if I upgrade the HDD"
"What if I run out of money"

For a quad you really wont need more then 2.6 on the clock unless you are doing something worth while(Like encoding or braggging about your 1337 cpu on boards)

chai90

I think im fine with CPU - just I wont be able to save up this 25 euro and really I was thinking about OCing it at least to 3Ghz . I send hwvs email about will they assemble it even if the configuration is split so now I have to wait what they say.

I agree about the case I'd be looking a recognised brand such as an Antec, Coolermaster or Thermaltake. I myself got this one recently and I'd highly recommend it:

As for the motherboard I think you'd be better off to step to a 790X or 790FX motherboard, only go for the latter if you'd like to be able to run a crossfire setup. Something like:

Ok i changed the case to Coolemaster Elite 330. Probably will order next week:). Anyone knows how long is delivery?

About two weeks from the day you transfer the money me thinks
