So, I'm planning on building a gaming computer with my 600€ budget.
Mostly I plan on playing games like Team Fortress 2 and Terraria, nothing too extreme.
My monitor resulotion is 1920x1080.
There's nothing I can reuse.
The only extra what I would need is a mouse.
I live in up North, in Estonia.
If anybody could help me find the parts I need, I would be very thankful! :smile:

Is the GTX 470 a good choice? If i pick it i will have to waste 190€ of my budget.
Also is it PCI x1,x4,x8 or x16?

x16

But you can run it in x1, x4 or x8 with performance loss.
[editline]15th June 2011[/editline]
Which would mean modification to the card or the slot.
The card would horribly run on anything lower than x16.

uh no he'll lose a lot of performance in x1 and x4 (PCI-E 2.0, if it's 1.0 anything lower than 16 isn't worth it)
and stop telling people to cut open slots, the example I've seen you give is an open ended x4 not a modified one

no single GPU card saturates 2.0 x8, not sure about the dual GPU cards
Okay, thanks, I've got all the pieces. The motherboard i got uses P67 Intel Chipset. Is it a good choice?
And the case I'm going to be using is 40,6 x 18 x 42 cm, and the motherboard will be 24,4 x 24,4 cm.
So I'm pretty much set.

And isn't a cut open one a modified slot?
a lot of performance, as in so much it isn't worth bothering
and no the slot is manufactured without an end, instead of being badly chopped open

I cut it open with an exacto knife. Look at the slots on the left there's a small ledge.

Thanks guys :smile:
You are getting a i5-2310, which isn't ment for overclocking (the K means unlocked cores), and yet a P67 motherboard, which sacrifices onboard video for overclocking. Swap either of those. (Get a i5-2500k)
[editline]16th June 2011[/editline]
And you do [b]not[/b] want to use the PSU included with the case. Those are ment for low end pc's
CASE MIDITOWER ATX W/O PSU/BLACK DS.EC021.UA.B IN-WIN
I think the W/O means WithOut, and I guess I won't get an overclocked processor.
What chipset should a motherboard not ment for overclocking be?
[b]Edit:[/b] Okay, I found this, pretty much the same, and price is also same.
ASUS S1155 H67 DDR3 USB3 8-CH ATX
H67 = Onboard video
P67 = Overclocking
Z68 = Both
[QUOTE=Goz3rr;30490285]H67 = Onboard video

So the H67 it is for me, thanks lad! :smile:
So now i'm set!

You should go with p67/z68 because someday you will find out you want to overclock and you will regret not getting one.
