My new motherboard? WTF :D
« on: December 04, 2014, 06:27:28 pm »
Ordered new parts 2 days ago which arrived today so that was good, but the main part (CPU) was the only one that didn't arrive so have to wait till tomorrow hopefully so I can start building.

My specs:
Zalman T4 - Case (30 Euros)
ASRock H81M-DGS R2.0 mATX - Motherboard (50 Euros)
Intel Pentium G3258 - CPU (65 Euros)
AMD Radeon R7 260X - GPU (115 Euros)
8GB DDR3 - RAM (50 Euros)
500W Ace - Power Supply (20 Euros)
1TB Western Digital - HDD (75 Euros)
SSD Coming Soon.

Total: 405 Euros / £320

So basically my case requires an mATX Motherboard which my old one is mATX, and it isn't that small or big.
When my new motherboard arrived today I saw the box and was like WTFFF so small, then I opened it and was EVEN smaller then I expected.
My fuckin GPU is bigger then the motherboard, but don't worry it all fits.

Here some images:

mATX are meant to be small :D
I love them, so easy to work with and take up barely any space
If only TS3 was like this all the time <3

Could you add prices to all those parts?

I am interested to build my own as well, once of course I have spare money to do so.

Added Euros because most people are EU.

It's actually one of the best budget builds for gaming you can get.
The CPU is only Dual Core, but OUT PERFORMS a lot of AMD Quad Cores and 6 Cores.
The reason is because this CPU is the 20 year anniversary edition of Intel and it was made really good but low price. The rate normally would be around £80 but it's around £50.
Also the 260X is the best out of the series, anything below 260X is complete and utter waste of money, but the 270 is good and also GTX 750 Ti.

I bought this specifically to play GTA 5 in January :D
