Spec Check - Thanks!

[mayweather50]

Hi,

New to the forum, however I was a lurker around the AMD Socket A times...

Looking to get a new rig (not built in years) how can the following spec be improved / changed? Will be used for CS:GO and everyday tasks, office etc...

Thanks

Hi there,

This is my basket. The other is good, but what it doesn't take into consideration is case fans. The case doesn't come with any installed as standard and you would have to purchase these. The Kolink Aviator case that I have selected comes with 2 x 120mm (Red LED) fans as intake in the front and 1 x 120mm fan in the rear as exhaust. As well as this, it's better to have a HDD as well as an SSD for any files, games, etc. this is something that I have added and will serve you better in the long run.

I see your monitor you selected is 1440p are you wanted to game at this resolution as if you are just going to be using it for CS:GO and general office tasks it may be better to save a bit of money and go with 1080p instead. I've included two baskets one with your selected 1440p monitor and one with a 1080p monitor 144Hz I have selected. Cheers.

Freesync monitor with an Nvidia gpu ?

 

[Daniel_46]

Yeah, didn't realise I did that. Was meant to put the AOC G2460FQ.
