Open
Ragido

Hello everyone!, today is my happiest day ever probably, before 3 years i wanted Gaming PC, i have a laptop i bought 5 years ago.
I was going to buy this pc two months before, but there were some problems between USA and Turkey, and USD became much higher than before, so everything got more expensive especially tech stuff. Today in a few hours i will buy my first gaming PC!

I don't know why i am posting this but i am so happy and i didn't know where to share my happiness, i will do a giveaway if nothing goes wrong (and if i had any money left) -- Sorry for wasting your time, wish me luck guys.

Specs:
EDIT: i got those specs instead of the old one:

  • ASUS GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5
  • Asus Prime 360-K motherboard
  • AOC 24' G2460VQ6 1ms 75hz
  • Corsair Carbide Series Champ/SPEC-04 80PLUS 600W
  • Crucial 16GB (2x8GB) Ballistix Sports DDR4 2666Mhz
  • 120 GB SSD
  • WD 1 TB 7200Rpm 64Mb
  • Intel Core i5-8400

Yes, that's something we in Eastern Europe and Asia Minor have to live with. Earn in local currency, buy tech in USD/EUR which always seems to go UP even if it's going nowhere fast.

You didn't write what PSU you're getting. I know many people disregard this component and go with a cheapest one, but from experience, a good PSU can prolong the life of your machine... I always recommend Seasonic, but there's several brands you can't go wrong with.

Congratulations on your exam.

As for the specs have in mind that a single stick of ram may have negative impact on the performance depending on the use case. You may want to check single vs dual channel comparisons. A pity the board has only two slots, in that case you either have to go with a single stick and upgrade later, or go with 2 sticks and replace them if you ever want to get more ram.

I am also buying a new computer since it is getting old and replacement parts are expensive. Waiting on how the Nvidia 20XX will perform and might just get a discounted 1080ti.
Anyone looking to get a new computer next year should consider doing shopping the next few months in case the tariffs next year cause a price hike in Chinese parts. Spend soon, to save later.

Cheap and very fast memory.

Congrats on the new pc, I'm saving for a new laptop myself. Had my old one for 7 years now and it's still working despite not using a battery and bad heat issues. Computers are weird xD
