What country are you in? Buildingit yourself is generally cheaper and a good experience, and knowing every part in it helps make sure there's only quality parts, and i only see the power supply listed on the first and it is a bad one, but the power supply is a very important part.

And your second link doesn't work

I live in Denmark. I don't really have any experince with building computers, and is quite unskilled with the diffrent parts of the computer.

Number two's power supplier is 630 Watt Thermaltake German Series 80+

And number tree has a 500 W power supplier (doesn't say the name)

It's virtually impossibly to physically assemble individual components in the case the wrong way - everything will have it's own unique connector. A little research and brain-picking of folks around here (how much do you want to spend, what do you absolutely have to have, what can you get by without) might go a long way to both saving you some money, as well as having a much better system to show for it (and bragging rights, too!)

And if all else fails, youtube has videos

Building my own computer

Hello,

You guys helped me earlier today, and wanted to know if one of you could help me a bit more
Many people told me that building your own computer would be 10 times better than buying a premade one. Im a bit unskilled with building computers, and so far i have found these components based on what people tell what is good for a gaming computer.


CPU: Intel i5-3570k (http://ark.intel.com/products/65520)
Mother borad: Asrock Z77 Extreme 4-M (http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z77 Extreme4-M/)
GPU: Point of view GTX 670 (http://www.pointofview-online.com/sh...product_id=322)
Case: Coolermaster elite 344 (http://www.coolermaster.com/product/...-344-usb3.html) [I am not sure if this one is good, can you give feedback]
Ram: Kingstone 8 gb [Can you tell me what is best 1x8 gb or 2x4 gb?]
Power supply: Coolermaster gx 650 (http://www.coolermaster.com/product/...s/gx-650w.html)
DVD: Just a normal thing that can read and burn DVDs
Harddrive: Western digital 1 TB

So far is that what i have on my list. Can you tell me if those things work good together? And can you tell me if i need anything else to build a computer, like fans, some wires or something like that? Thank you very much

Looks good. Change a couple things.
The -M means it's a micro sized motherboard. Get ATX.
Get a better case. > one that has interior features for cooling, and routing the cables.
2x4 so it will run in dual channel mode. 1600 @ 1.5v is good.
Not the GX. Look for Corsair/Seasonic/XFX.

4:Corsair Builder Series CX 80+ Bronze 600 Watt ATX (http://www.dabs.com/products/corsai...ries-cx-80--bronze-atx-power-supply-8CDC.html)

For the motherboards i found thse:

1: Asus Mb p8h77-m pro m-atx (I think its this one, not 100 % sure because it doesn't say ATX on the site, but says it on the page im going to buy from. http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8H77M_PRO/)

Not 2.
1 has fans, no usb 3 if that matters to you.
3 has usb 3 but you have to buy a second fan for the back.
Of those I'd pick 1. Pre installed cooling and cable management.

CX600 for its price tag and its a good unit.

1 is mATX. You can tell by the M. If it has an M or mATX it will be shorter than a reg size mb. Reg. size is ATX w/o the M. You can also tell by the pic how short it is.
2 is kinda low end.
No to the others.

Have you looked at socket 1150/Haswell?

Thank you very much for your time and effort :)

So in that case i think i'm going for the cooler master k380 (number 3).
So i have a question, how many fans do i need, and which kind? Tt says it has room for 3?


Ahhh so not every case works with every motherboard. So does number 3 case work wíth any of these socket 1150 / Haswell, and are these mother boards good?


1. MSI MB H87-G41 (http://www.msi.com/product/mb/H87-G41-PC-Mate.html)
