As configured by you (i7, 3TB HD, 4GB video card), the cost comes to $3099.00. I added in 16GB of memory over the stock 8 since that's pretty much standard for most builds, anymore.

5k Dell Monitor: $1,439.99

Retail i7-4790: $307.00

Gigabyte GA-Z97-HD3 Motherboard: $102.95

Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB Kit: $66.99

Corsair Carbide SPEC-01 Mid Tower Case: $48.99

Silverstone Tek 500W 80+ Gold PSU: $79.99

EVGA GeForce GTX 960 4GB Video Card: $229.99

CM Storm Devastator KB/Mouse Combo: $29.99

Total Cost: $2305.89

Video card was a bit of a toughie since the iMac uses a notebook GPU, so I went with something a bit faster, but comparable. This is a complete system with comparable to better specs.

Given the price difference, may as well go with a 980Ti for that extra graphics oomph or tack on some water cooling.

Edit: Woops! Forgot storage and OS!

WD Blue 3TB HD: $98.70

Samsung 850 EVO 120GB (configured as cache drive): $66.99

Windows 10 Home: $119.00

Revised Total: $2590.58. Still cheaper and could still sub out the 960 for a 980Ti and be under cost.

u/berserker2702 · 3 pointsr/IndianGaming

I already have this cabinet and corsair vs 650 psu. Will this two be ok for vega?

u/TheSirPotato · 3 pointsr/buildapcforme

Ok here are my suggestions based on the prices of Amazon Mexico.

CPU

The i3-6100 and the Pentium G4400 are both decent choices for your daughter. Al though the i3 is more powerful, the Pentium will still run low-end games decently, if you don't wish for groundbreaking performance. The i5 is probably overkill. Alsom you probably don't need a CPU cooler.

Motherboard

https://www.amazon.com.mx/Gigabyte-GA-H110M-H-Motherboard-Chipset-PCI-Express/dp/B01FB6TEMC/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1478960159&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=h110

Doesn't look too expensive, but will serve its job. If you can find a cheaper one, you can go for it instead.


RAM

https://www.amazon.com.mx/Kingston-HX421C14FB2-Memoria-Hyperx-DDR4-2133Mhz/dp/B01D8U27YU/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1478960538&sr=1-3&keywords=8GB+RAM

Looks like the cheapest 8GB stick of DDR4 RAM, if you find cheaper from renowned company sticks, go for them.

Storage

You may want to either go for a 1TB HDD+ 120GB SSD, 1TB HDD, or a 240GB SSD. I do not think that 120GB SSD is going to be large enough for your daughter, as she will need to store Windows, games, software, and documents in it.

GPU

https://www.amazon.com.mx/Sapphire-460-2-GB-GDDR5-HDMI-PCI-E-Tarjeta-11257-00-20-G/dp/B01J1M4H8I/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1478961001&sr=1-1&keywords=rx+460

The RX 460 is your best choice. This one is a 2GB version, but it will run the likes of Dota well.

Power Supply

That power supply is actually decent, but this one is a better option, and doesn't look too expensive.

Case

I like this Corsair one, but you may want a cheaper case. I haven't found great cases cheaper than this one myself.

Peripherals+Monitor

That monitor is good. The peripherals are your choice since that's personal preference. The monitor should come with a DVI cable if I'm not mistaken.

Why did I change your build ? I did not like your RAM and MB choices, don't cheap out on them as ryzen loves fast ram and a overclockable MB .

I would say if you cant fit it all into your budget, better ditch the ssd, but get a good MB and RAM combo .

Feel free guys to change/improve this build in any way .

u/Djperkoff · 2 pointsr/buildapc

I'd go with the 2x4 2400mhz g.skill ripjaws z instead of what you have. Fairly cheap on amazon/newegg (the last time i checked)

For a case, an awesome one for red would definately be this awesome thing

Motherboard, go for a z97 badass

Total= 83,559.

Note that I have included a 2TB HDD. If you want 1TB, since you posted yourself, the price goes down to 81,760.

I suspect all you need now is a keyboard and a mouse and a UPS. I left out these things cause the UPS actually depends on the type of PSU you buy. If you go for any seasonic PSU, research well into what UPS is best suited for that PSU.

I highly recommend going on to Linustechtips and post these parts in the build section. People will surely comment and help you even more :)

Good Luck!

You can cheap out on these four things to save some money (but I highly suggest you don't):

  1. SSD - Get a 120GB SSD to save some money. You can also drop this completely and get an SSD later when they become somewhat cheap. Only downside: Somewhat slower boot-up time and loading times.

  2. CPU - Get Ryzen 5 1400. This has less core and threads than 1600 but is cheaper and still good :D

  3. Video Card - Get the 1050 non-TI version. 4-5000 Cheaper, but this gets the job done. The only downside: no 1080p gaming @60fps. Actually, it depends on the games too.

  4. PSU - Ha! One of the most overlooked component. You can get cheaper ones with less protection and less stability for half the price. The only downside: Can damage your components, I think, and stability issues.
u/Correctbear1 · 2 pointsr/buildapc

I like this case a bit better and it's a little cheapers. One less internal drive space though. But it looks like you are only using two so far.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I6BJATW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=P6NWZDRMEXBA&coliid=IO6XO9VP1LWAS

Also, I would go for a larger HD. 1TB isn't really the sweet spot anymore. You can get a drive like this for a bit more and it's still good enough for most applications.

Idk if you use DDR4 or DDR3 but these are in your price range and match nice. i actually have the case myself.
You can probably find some cheaper if you look around a little.

u/UtterFlatulence · 1 pointr/buildapc

If a motherboard has all the ports on it like this, how can I have the ports accessible from outside the case especially if it already has ports like on this. This is my first build, and I'm trying to figure out shit before I get anything.

u/GGImBatman · 1 pointr/buildapc

I don't know what my cpu is (is there a way to tell? I don't know where the box is that it came in), my case is this

My budget for a gpu at the moment is preferably under £100 but I might stretch to around £130/40.

Edit: My CPU is the AMD FM(tm)-6300 Six-core processor 3.50 GHz

u/TheArmman1995 · 1 pointr/buildapc

Seems good enough. Intel would be better, but this is a super cheap build so no big deal. I would definitely get an ssd. It will make it seem like a faster machine than it actually is. MOST important thing to me for sure. You could save a little on the case too I think. This is what I have. Very decent for the price.

u/WaldoWhenWeNeedHim · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Not bad, but I would go with this case instead, because it does have better airflow (which you'll want with a SCC 970). It also has a USB 3.0 at the front. There are a lot of 25% coupons for Corsairs website, and you mabe be able to get the STRAFE keyboard for ~$25 less too. The 4960k is also $5 cheaper on amazon

u/DZCreeper · 1 pointr/buildapc

Not much better to be honest. Same cooling layout with the addition of a side vent.

I suggest you get this Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-01.


For the extra $4 you get dual 140mm in the front, dual 120mm on the top, and a 120mm on the rear. It only includes a single front 120mm on the front but the options are excellent for the price.

I would suggest getting two 140mm fans for the front and moving the pre-installed 120mm to the top.

u/ColtxKiLA · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

I'm using a corsair spec 01 it has really good cable managment and cooling. 47$ right now lol hurry!

u/Balaguru_BR5 · 1 pointr/buildmeapc

I see, this build is basically for maxing out most games at 1080p, so I wouldn't be able to see it's full potential, but that's not a problem. But my monitor's resolution is 1400x900, is that not Full HD?

I bought this PC for like a 150 bucks so I guess that is what I get for the price. A small question, when Amazon says free shipping, do they mean free shipping internationally or only in the "Glorious" USA? Also, The Corsair Spec-01 case is kinda expensive right now, do you recommend any other case for the same price? It is 77$ in Amazon but 55$ in Newegg.

u/hopelessly_positive · 1 pointr/buildapc

Thank you for the advice; I was just trying to penny-pinch. With a friend's recommendation, I went with a Corsair Carbide SPEC-01 case instead.

u/Mahaks · 1 pointr/buildapc

The current one I use actually is a corsair lol.

https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Carbide-SPEC-01-Tower-Gaming/dp/B00I6BJATW

Its a bit small for me something a little Bit bigger would be nice but not too huge. I want good cable management and air flow. I like the looks of my current case since my build is all red. The case can be black or white.

u/Cranley213 · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-01 Mid Tower Gaming Case https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I6BJATW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_G8r0AbP2TVVN8

Corsair Spec 01 - $50

This is the case I use. Great airflow, my 1070 never goes above 60 playing OW on max with 130 FPS. None of the fancy stuff you asked for unfortunately. It’s not a very flashy case, it’s understated and has great utility. Cable management is sort of meh, but it has four HD trays.

Should fit most GPUs, I’ve got an MSI GTX 1070 Armor OC which is fairly large with 2 fans.

Overall great gaming case for the price.

u/Jacob816 · 1 pointr/gaming

My card is actually an odd format. It's still PCI-E, but meant to fit on a mini-ATX board. Meh. It was the only 1070 I could find close to MSRP, and it still has the same clock speed and memory as the larger versions. Plus this one doesn't have that GPU drupe of longer cards.

I'm using a Corsair Carbide Spec-01. Its a pretty good case for the cost IMO.

u/psmydog · 1 pointr/buildapc

I made a few minor changes thought i'd show you

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/QXq4M8

That case had 2-5 week shipping and his birthday is coming up pretty quick so I swapped it out for this. PC part picker thinks its 60 but it's really 47 bucks

https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Carbide-SPEC-01-Tower-Gaming/dp/B00I6BJATW/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1473366949&sr=1-2&keywords=pc+case

I swapped for a barracuda 2 tb storage drive, people shit on them for not being reliable but I have 2 barracuda drives that have been going 3 and 5 years with no issues, used as storage for a plex server. And even if it drops dead he'll mostly just have steam games on it and an anime collection that I mostly have a backup of.

Grabbed a 600w power supply to be a little more upgradeable for the future.

and the fans I put in there are actually 16 bucks on amazon.



u/vocabularian · 1 pointr/IWantToLearn

A lot of building a computer is figuring out how components fit together, as well as their name.

I like to start building my PCs by selecting a processor to build around. For instance, Skylake processors are pretty new and more efficient than previous processors, so I opted for the Core i7-6700.

I then chose a compatible motherboard. The Core i7 is a socket 1151 processor. So I looked for a motherboard that met that criteria as well as my desired memory capacity (32 GB). The ASRock Z170M Pro4S fit that criterion: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157637


After that, I chose a compatible case. The Pro4S is a micro ATX motherboard, so it can fit in a micro ATX case or even mid ATX or full ATX. However, a mid will not fit in a micro and a full will not fit into a mid. I went with a mid tower: http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Carbide-SPEC-01-Tower-Gaming/dp/B00I6BJATW

Next, I chose a power supply. If you look up the wattage on the motherboard and processor, it doesn't add up to much, but if you start adding extra hardware like graphics cards, sound cards, network cards, etc. you are going to need to draw more power. 430W was enough for my build, so I purchased a Corsair CX430M power supply unit.

Last, I selected a storage drive. SSDs (solid state drives) are a lot faster than HDD (hard disk drives) because they have no moving parts, whereas an HDD uses a magnetic disk. That's what I went with - the downside is that they cost a lot more money for the same amount of space. I purchased a Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB SSD.

That's pretty much it for required parts. You can get a video card if you like as well, for better performance in gaming. The case and PSU come with the right cables and screws you need. The SSD comes with a SATA cable. So, on to assembly...

Your case comes with an I/O panel/shield. Install that from the inside of the case. It should sort of snap in when you have everything aligned right.

Take the motherboard out of its packaging and set it on a clean, solid surface. Take the processor out (being careful to not touch the pins too much and especially try not to damage them). Insert it into its socket in the proper orientation (see the included manual if you're not sure how - there are indicators on the motherboard that assist with this). Lock it in place with the lever. Mount the motherboard in your case and install the standoff screws. The CPU comes with a stock cooler (fan), get that ready. The stock cooler should come with a thin layer of thermal paste pre-applied to the bottom, but if it doesn't, you'll need to get your own - apply a small amount (like the size of a grain of rice) to the processor. Set the cooler down on top of it, aligning the twist screws in their holes. Lock them down by twisting them to the right. Plug the cooler into the motherboard. You should be able to find a connector that matches the plug near the processor, most will be 4-pin (I actually don't think I've seen one that wasn't).

Mount your SSD in the appropriate place in the case. Cases typically have a bay area specifically for storage drives. Screw it in place and attach the SATA cable to the only connector on it that fits. Plug the other end into the motherboard in one of the plugs labeled "SATA".

Hook up the front panel LED and switch cables, they're already in your case. They're very skinny and typically have labels on the side. You may need to look at your motherboard manual to see which goes where and the correct pin position/orientation.

Next, mount your PSU in the case. It will go either above or below the motherboard, depending on your case. Screw it in tight. From here on, you should be able to find the correct places to plug in the power to the motherboard. There's a motherboard power connector somewhere near the CPU, there's also a special power cable that goes to your drives.

Hook up all your power cables, monitor cables, etc. With any luck, the computer will turn on when you press the power button. If not, you'll have to do a bit of troubleshooting. That's the gist of it though, and hope this helps you. I wrote this from memory so I could be missing some stuff, if anyone wants to chime in.

u/EL_TATICH · 1 pointr/buildapc

What about buying a new case with much better ventilation?
like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Carbide-SPEC-01-Tower-Gaming/dp/B00I6BJATW

It's very affordable and later you can buy an air cooler like the 212 EVO or an all in one liquid cooler.

u/fuckflyingpigs · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

My desktop keeps turning on by myself. Turns out my case keeps hitting the power button once I turn it off. What's the best way to fix this? Currently using a Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-01 case with an Asus z870a motherboard.

u/Davidx_117 · 1 pointr/buildapc

Yes the motherboard will work with that graphics card (pretty much any graphics card thats pci-e).

I can't tell if the board will support 3000MHz but it should work with that ram either way, even if it doesn't support 3000MHz the ram will just run at 2666MHz.

As for cases within your budget I just looked at amazon and found a couple that look solid https://www.amazon.in/Corsair-Carbide-CC-9011050-WW-Mid-Tower-Gaming/dp/B00I6BJATW

https://www.amazon.in/Ant-Esports-ICE-200TG-Motherboard-Preinstalled/dp/B07TJCNK2G

You'll want additional fans for either as both only come with 1 fan

Also, you'll need a CPU cooler for that CPU as it doesn't come with one. And are you aware that motherboard might need a bios update before that CPU would work?

u/Zentrik1 · 1 pointr/PcMasterRaceBuilds

I was going with the 650W don't know why the 750W came up, in the mobo I would like easy overclocking, a decent dac, 4 ram slots and an m.2 slot, and a thunderbolt 3 would be cool. So basically one of these: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/products/motherboard/#s=30&f=2&c=110&K=1,10&E=1,3&N=4,16&L=4&h=1,8&a=1,4&v=2,1&u=1&C=6,12,19

EDIT: Is there another way to show your awesomeness except for giving gold.

EDIT: How about this case (the Spec 03) : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Carbide-SPEC-01-Gaming-CC-9011050-WW/dp/B00I6BJATW/ref=as_li_ss_tl?tag=digitren0f-21&e=UTF8&linkCode=sl1&linkId=b6d6ac9818e5a7d3c9f9bb5015ae9060&ascsubtag=computing:892738

This one-https://www.amazon.in/Corsair-Carbide-CC-9011050-WW-Mid-Tower-Gaming/dp/B00I6BJATW Price is 3k in Amazon including 1 fan and you can mount 8 fans in total so you can buy some extra 120 mm fan with your remaining 1 k .

u/thisisatesttoseehowl · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

I have the Spec 01. It comes with a 120mm fan with buit in red LEDs (you can replace the fan for cheap if you want). It has two slots for optical drives if you want. It has a large window on one side and works great for me.
