Some parts I'm about to order. Please review this build.
3 replies, posted
I tried to make a thread where I'd ask you to kindly list me the shit I should buy but y'all seemed too busy helping others, so here I am again asking for you to review this what I have come up with through other means of researching.
So, the budget is up to a maximum of 2000euro, though I've listed 2 noticeably more expensive parts at the end of this list separately, so we can go from there, as I've thought about dropping the budget a little bit, closer to 1500euro.

Still looking for some monitors, maybe going with 2x [url]http://www.silentrig.com/product/64/benq-led-monitor-v2210-eco-215[/url]
(with these 2 monitors added to the rest of the build the price is [b]1598euro[/b] which is something I was aiming for)
though the availability for some of these are low, so is it worth the wait? for example the GPU, monitors.. probably something else too
So, any final thoughts?
[b]Edit[/b]ed OP
As for the GPU I'll recommend either the 570, or the 6970; get whichever is cheaper.
It performs a bit less than the 580, but it also costs a whole lot less
RAM selection on that site is dismal, are there any others you can use
hell the selection in general is terrible

if you're getting a 570/80 I'd suggest getting an 850W PSU so you can upgrade to SLi in the future, I wouldn't get the AX850 but the XFX isn't the modular version
the lack of products on that site is making it difficult to suggest anything
i was told the site is the cheapest one for me so im sticking with that, also the ram is the cheapest possible. even if random brand, they should last at least 3 years
difference between 570 and 6970 is only 1euro so i thought about going with the 570
also, the monitors. i want something cheaper :v: any suggestions?

that's what i found, but there seems to be 0 of those in store
[b]Edit[/b] also tell me something about the SSD for the operating system and some useful software
some other pc enthusiast site told me that with about 2000euro budget an SSD is a must-buy and they said there are [b]absolutely no minus sides to it[/b], whereas i've learned from here that they might need some reformatting every once in a while and can get "stuck" more easily. so, i don't exactly feel the need for an SSD, or is this new PC gonna be slower in the terms of HDD-loading times than this my current windows xp, dualcore pc with like 300gb hdd? and some other C: drive with windows on it.
