    Buying a new gaming PC of around 900~1000 euros.

    So, I've been looking around for a new computer and after a while I came across a nice mainstream gaming system for around a 1000 euros, but theres a few things im uncertain about seeing as I haven't exactly been in the loop concerning graphic cards and motherboards and whatnot for the last few years.

    Also unsure about the case..

    Anyway, so far I got this;

    Processor, €170
    Intel Core i5 4570 3.2 Ghz Quad

    Motherboard, €74
    Gigabyte G1 Sniper B5

    Memoriez, €70
    Crucial Ballistix Tactical 2x 4GB 1600 Mhz

    Graphics Card, €375 (Very unsure about this one)
    Gigabyte GV-R929OC-4GD 4GB GDDR5

    Hard Disk, €52
    Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB, Sata600

    Case, €80 (unsure about this)
    Cooler Master CM 690 III Closed

    Power supply, €82 (Unsure about this)
    Cooler Master VS V550S 550W

    So, I'm not entirely sure about the case, pwoer supply and graphics card cause they are all quite expensive and I would think I would be able to find some cheaper comparible ones, but my knowledge about these things is very little.

    I don't care about the looks of the case, as long as everything fits and it cools right.

    Concerning the graphics card, this does seem to be a very good card but my knowledge of current graphic cards is absolutely 0, I used to follow the geforce series a bit, but it's completely out of control now so I really dont know xD
    I'd like to play the newest games on high (Not necesarily ultra) and future games on med/high, is plenty for me.

    Also, am I missing any vital parts to a gaming PC ?


    So, does anyone have any advice? :P
    I'd really like to bring the cost down a bit.

    How come? Seagate seems to be cheapest, and I can't see how much difference there could be in hard disk brands in performance

    Please let me know if you know any better alternatives

    Seeing as you are from The Netherlands, there is a good store located there, they also have a webshop and are very cheap on most of their parts.

    http://www.alternate.nl

    They have a PC-Builder aswell, where you can select the different parts you need and want:
    http://www.alternate.nl/html/configu...r/pc/page.html

    I work for Alternate.be, it's the belgian store, that's how i know about their prices and all.

    so if you have any questions regarding that website or parts, just ask

    Seagate HDD are perfectly fine. I have a 2 TB and a 3 TB HDD and they're still good after 2-3 years.

    Hitachi and WD are together now as one brand, HGST.
