Hi all. I've been looking to build my own computer and I got feedback from a company that does it. They told me that if I mainly prefer to game, that the following specs would be more than enough.
Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-4820K processor (4 cores, 10 MB cache, able to overclock to 4.2 GHz with Turbo Boost)
Videocard: AMD Radeon(TM) R9 270 with 2 GB GDDR5
RAM-memory: 16.384 MB (4 x 4 GB) DDR3 Quad Channel (1.600 MHz)
Harddisk: 1 TB SATA 6 Gb/s (7.200 rpm) 32 MB cache
Slots:
internal expansion slots: (2x) PCI-Express x16 (electrical specifications: x16/x16)
(2x) PCI-Express x1
memoryslots: 4x 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM-slots
Ports:
I/O-ports on front(2x) Hi-Speed USB 2.0
(1x) SuperSpeed USB 3.0
(1x) Microphone in
(1x) Headphone/Speakers out
(1x) 19-in-1 memorycardreader (optional)
I/O-ports on rear(1x) RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet
(4x) Hi-Speed USB 2.0
(1x) SuperSpeed USB 3.0
(1x) Microphone in
(1x) line-in
(1x) Frontspeakers left/right
(1x) Centralspeakers
(1x) Rearspeakers left/right
(1x) Sidespeakers left/right
(1x) SPDIF-digital output (TOSLINK)
(1x) SPDIF-digital output (Coax)
They also included a more expensive version(costs about 1100 more), which only differed in
Graph card: NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GTX(TM) TITAN Z (instead of AMD)
RAM: 32.768 MB (4 x 8 GB) DDR3 Quad Channel (1.600 MHz) (instead of 16mb)
Hard disk: 256 GB SSD + 1 TB SATA 6 Gb/s (7.200 rpm) 32 MB cache (instead of the singular 1 TB SATA)
The rest(ports and slots) were the same.
I'm personally not as tech-savvy so would like to know what you guys think.
Is there really that much of a difference between the AMD and NVIDIA and between the singular 1TB SATA and combined SSD + SATA to make it worth paying an additional 1100 more? Is there any other tweaks you guys would prefer or suggest? Money is not that much of an issue, but if possible I'd rather not spend tons on it if you know what I mean.
I apologize for the directness of this post, I just need to make up my mind fast and mail them back so I rather hear from a large audience who are more experienced in this matter.
Thank you all in advance.
(p.s.: I hope you guys can make sense of the specs, half of what is written kinda sounds Chinese to me )
