thx!

Another question, what is better to choose... intel (i5/i7) or AMD FX (6 core??)?
I have no idea what I am going to buy (could even be a laptop) but just getting informed right now.

[[MAF]Karlis]

intel for sure, AMD FX was a failure.
if you say your planned budget for this we may help choosing.

[[FSR]Ush]

not sure about my budget yet, I also need to buy a monitor and windows 7..

[[FSR]Ush]

Hm think I can find a monitor for around 130 euro. And for windows.. they sell w7 OEM for 90..

Give some other options please.

Some questions I have:
- What power to choose? Is this good? Or too much/not enough?
- Need processor cooler? Or does it already have one included?

processor : 2500K, you can overclock it easily to ~4.0 without a doubt, most likely to about 4.7ghz
gpu: 7850, 78xx series prove to be big success - good performance, good power usage, one of the best performance/price ratio.
motherboard: any compatible, if you want to overclock a bit, then maybe bit more advanced than this, and you don't need the pci (without the -e) ports, they're not used usually.
psu: http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp fill teh data there and other info, and it should recommend you.
cooler: it has one onboard, but it is small and ineffective, i suggest spending ~30eur on moderate one. If running on stock clocks you can stay with original as well tho.
memory: that's everything you need.

[[2F2F]Hellmuth]

pretty sure you cant overclock with the H model, go with P67 instead

[[MAF]Karlis]

^ true, missed that

any p67 that is normal size will be good enough, you wont need sli etc, will you?

[[FSR]Ush]

I won't overclock >> I am too noob for that, don't wanna risk it

what do you recommend for motherboard if I don't overclock.. and where do you use sli for?
I need to be able to connect me pc to my tv so I can watch porn or Game of Thrones in HD.

[[MAF]Karlis]

K series without any overclocking is a bit of a waste imo, maybe then the cpu that vertigo picked?(needs H77 motherboard tho)

[[FSR]Ush]

Should I go for normal 2500 then? It saves 6 euro..

[[MAF]Karlis]

well, in the other hand, 6eur is too little to worry too much about it, you never know what you will try after few years, you might want to OC it once it will get close to being outdated/too old.
