Good computer configuration in office and gaming

Hi friends, today we set a good computer at an affordable price, with a very good performance, able to cope orcarei computing tasks and also to move very quickly.
Lately I waited and hoped genratie latest processors from Intel, which Intel called Broadwall will come on the market and will have a better than perfoamanta generation Haswell.
Difference of performance from Haswell to Broadwell is only 5% I do not think it's worth the upgrade or wait make special appearance of new processors. Especially as they will be more expensive than current ones who have something significant price reductions.
Today's configuration is based on an Intel i3 4170, which has just been released and comes with a very smooth frequency (3,7 GHz) have in addition is very cheap (relative to Intel Core Haswell).
The system can be used both in the home, office, and gaming when it adds a dedicated video card.
If you feel that board that I have recommended it will not satisfy, you can opt for a plate Nvidia GTX 960Which is much better, but more expensive.
List components:
Intel® Core ™ i3-4170, 3.70GHz, Haswell, 3MB, Socket 1150, Box
Asus motherboard H81M-A, socket 1150
HyperX FURY memory 4GB Blue, DDR3, 1600MHz, CL10, 1.5V
Flash SSD Kingston V300 2.5 ″, 120GB, SATA 3
Cougar Solution housing Black, Mid Tower, without power, Black
Source Corsair Builder Series CP-9020046, 80 PLUS® Bronze, 430 W, Active PFC, ATX 2.3, 12 cm fan
Asus video card NVIDIA GeForce GTX OC 750, 1024MB, GDDR5, 128bit, HDMI, DVI, VGA, Dust-Proof Fan

A tutorial that would be of use after buying components and want you to mount it: How to mount components in a PC.
Another tutorial that will help you, is the installation's front panel (USBs and front audio jacks on the case): Front panel mounting sockets on the motherboard.
Or maybe you want to buy a cheap housing and do not know how to mount: Installation components in small enclosures.

  • What would you recommend as laptop 2000lei but with a configuration very good. I am interested in more processing power that-but I am going to stress in different ways, all invatade here on the website: intensive use virtualbox, Holding of video quality and others. I want to take a few years, 4-5ani Rejer with the latest versions of Windows, Linux and (or) mac os (virtualized).

    • It's hard to say. Currently on the market there are many types of laptop. Still more appropriate for testing and experimentation is a desktop.
      On a laptop you do not have absolute control. You thermally constrained by the ceiling, the lower frequencies and storage wells.

    • Under no 20 million a laptop PC with a configuration very good ,, ,, as you want!
      You wrote that you want "high processing power", and that means a 4th generation processor from Intel i7 series with many cores and threads, with large L2 / L3 Cache, and just at the end to you think of its processing power as a GB number. To collaborate very well with the Processor, you need a RAM that will work at a high frequency and good latency, then think about how many GB of memory you need. The weak link in a system is the HDD and that's why in order not to strangle the processing speeds between the parts, you need an HDD with high Write / Read speeds. For all components to work on high frequency buses, you need a Motherboard with a powerful chipset, and in the end you think about buying a high bandwidth video card and then think about the fact that it has a lot of video memory ( a standard 64-bit video card, you can have 3 GB of memory, it's still slow). In conclusion, speed means using the latest generation technique that lasts you many years, but it is very expensive!
      Aste is the reality in electronics, not just PC, and the rest are for magazine stories GOSSIP!

  • Thanks a lot you did such a good and interesting tutorial ..sunt. Tutorials to doing so ..

  • Linked ssd, I read many articles on various sites and found that Kingston V300 series performs very low because they have changed controller. Such speeds have dropped considerably.

    • The girl has SandForce controller SF1200, controller that is present on most SSDs.

    • to know that it is not a "stinky" ssd. it moves pretty well. I put 2 on 2 computers and it's been ok for about 6 months. now if you can pay 500 lei per intel it's better.
      at this kingstone the price is ok, you also have a 3 year warranty ... the quality / price ratio is good.
      certainly faster than a hard disk.

      • Indeed it was a lot worse a periodic were made in China. Now memories are made in Taiwan with Toshiba 19 nm, exceptional quality, compared to Micron on 20nm or something.
        Right now some week I changed the old Corsair Force GT 60GB that of Christ, that he was tired at first reading with 385MB / s and wrote 70MB / s (looks like Crystal Disk mark), and in AIDA64 so on 385 reading time 0,10ms access. Kingston V300 120gb this girl that I bought 2 exceptional pieces and go, no I did not expect. 550MB / s (read) and write 550MB / s and for access 0,04ms and the box says 450MB / s with 450MB / s. Win opens in 8.1 5 OEM seconds, compared to Corsair opened in 7-8 sec.

  • @Cristi, If in this configuration I would change the processor with Intel i5 and the video card with one of the GTX 900 series, is a 450W source enough? I noticed that many recommend this source power to a very high performance (TOP) configuration ... I was thinking of one of at least 500 W.
    PS: I checked the configuration on an online site and it consumes more than the one you mentioned ....

    • GTX 900 will consume about 200 - 300 watts maximum depending on the model and load. one is to play at 720p and another is at 1080p.
      It suggests 600 watts which is a source of great strength recommended more to protect their video cards. is not weak power source is a reason why they would not go right video cards.
      I have a 600 corsair and I don't have anything to charge it at 30%, at least the value at which the source fan starts. the fan starts about 3 - 5 seconds only when I turn on the pc (not to freeze the fan I think it's set like that), over 30% load and still starts at a thermal value that I don't know ... it still runs in summer when it's very hot.
      if we make an assembly with the tdp of the 54 w processor (in full load) or how much was + what is left through the case + video card it would be at 80, 85% (in full cpu + video) of the power of the source. so you better focus on 550 - 600 w if you want a good video card. that would be enough for 450, but it's better to have a power reserve.
      eg video card I grab you and when you pull more than 450w madness and I put in protective ups. so can my ups. 450 bn overall. I think the video card draw any 350 watts. for a short time but enough that if you did not give a source able to restart the PC or video card lock.

      • This is the configuration I will buy next month: [URL = "http://www.pcgarage.ro/vizualizare-wishlist/1217169/"] PC Intel + nVidia [/ URL] per acre I put a source of 500 W .

        • PS: I forgot to ask if after the emergence of new processors will be cheaper models on the market

          • It is not known, depends on the decisions they have taken have those from Intel.
            Usually, even if some cuts are quite small.

          • Cristi, I understood! Another thing: for the configuration of Wishlist site that I posted is sufficient source of 450 W (exact pattern that you did review, not very long ago)?

    • 1. If you have SATA will work on any system.
      2. If you have SATA can to fit on a riser card PCI-x, which you several SATA ports.
      3. Recommended as to have Windows 7 or 8 because these have built in support TRIM.

      Short answer, yes go on ear and small changes here and there.

      • My basic plate is Epox EP-8KDA7I not know if it's compatible with SSD. It is worth the investment? (SSD in the future we can put on another PC more efficient?)

        • Of course you will be able to put it on another more efficient PC .... and in the case of the motherboard I don't see why the ssd doesn't work on

  • Hello guys ! I appreciate you for the work you do and thank you for learning a lot from you. I would like if I could know what you think of the ps 4 and xbox one gaming consoles, what would you choose between pc and console? Thank you !

    • GTA 5 will work with Nvidia GTX OC 750. How well will run depends on the settings you will find it do you.
      Perhaps the media will run smoothly. If you put your settings very aggressive and very high resolution, you can put in difficulty even more expensive video cards.

      • Hello ii think this board better than the Intel integrated video i3- of 4150hd 4400 2 gb, nvidia gtx 750 has duar 1gb against 2gb intel?

  • Can someone explain me more about Intel® Turbo Boost Technology. I have not yet fully branches. So, with this technology the processor can achieve higher frequencies. My question is under what conditions and how can be maintained or increased frequency if it has some effects on PC or laptop. It would be something that would be better processor: the Turbo Boost reaches a maximum at a certain frequency, or who are already at that frequency (with Turbo Boost). Thanks.
