Hello,

I'm planning to build my new pc and I'd like to know your opinion about it. It will be mainly dedicated to multimedia apps. (Photoshop, some game...)

The objectives are to stay within the budget and to be quiet.

Here is the config:

Case: NSK 2480 - 90e
Proc: i5-750 - 140e
MB: Gigabyte P55M-UD4 - 84e
GC: Sapphire Radeon HD5750 - 115e
HD: Western Digital Cavia Green 1To-64Mo - 75e
Memory: Corsair twin XSM3 - 85e
OS: Win 7 64bits - 85e

Total cost: 674e.

I think its a pretty good value for money config.

What do you think ?

Thanks a lot.
Mathew.

I'm looking at the same combination of MB, CPU and graphics. Is that really 84 Euro for the P55M-UD4 ? Where?
Best price in the UK is equivalent to around 125 Euro.

Looks balanced but if you going to use stock cooler it won't be that quiet. Check some Xigmatek coolers. They're nice (just check its i5 compatible)

Xigmas may be good, but most are too tall to fit in the 2480. The Minja Rev.B is pretty much tailored to this chassis and it comes with a good fan to swap into the PSU. I just hope the slits on the case's top cover are enough to keep the vid card cool at load.
