You could go to a X99 build with a 5820K. For what you want to do with it that sounds better, though of course the i7-6700K is an adequate cpu as well. I can't add more ram in the tool I use, I suggest starting with 32GB – but do not really know how much you will need.

Remarks and answers:

  1. pcpartpicker has a mode for germany (at the top right). You can buy in the shops it uses, and it is important to base your build on german prices since they are different over here
  • The case I have in there is my suggestion, a cheaper version of the R4. The R4 you picked is a good case, there is also the R5 as its improved successor. If you like it, it will sure work for you.
  • The Fury X is a similar suggestion, powerful and will save a bit – though it is possible you are bound to Nvidia for the game development?
  • http://www.prad.de/ has some display tests. I suggest you look for a 1440p 27" display with an IPS panel, something like the Dell U2715H. Strive for freesync if you will play maybe more than it sounded.

As long as it is a SATA 2.5 inch HDD you should be fine. You could upgrade to an SSD if you really wanted to. I found this drive which is cheaper and faster than all of the drives you have listed.

An SSD would improve battery life, speed and longevity of you laptop. It will make it feel like brand new. I would recommend a Samsung 850 EVO either 250 GB or 500 GB capacity.

I personally upgraded my Mid 2012 MacBook to an SSD ant the boot time went down to seconds. If you prefer more storage and cheaper options then go for the HDD.

u/Mihailovich · 4 pointsr/Romania

Daca iti comanzi din US o sa te ajunga si mai mult fata de cat ai plati daca le-ai cumpara din Romania.

Verifica Amazoanele din Europa (.de, .fr, .co.uk, .es, .it). Unele au oferte foarte bune. Cand in Romania un GTX 980 era 3k eu l-am luat cu 2650. Acum vad SSD 850 Evo de 250GB pe amazon.es la 70€, de 500GB la 170€ si de 1TB la 327€.

As you can see though, it's only going down so if you are looking at buying it may be worth just waiting until you actually need it. But at this price it would be an excellent upgrade for any computer with limited SSD space or no SSD - I got a 500GB (£115.99) for my Macbook and it's sooo much faster.

u/Blazing_7 · 2 pointsr/buildapc

I'm very close to purchasing the final components for my Node 202 build, but I'm unsure if I should go for an M2 SSD or a non-M2 Samsung SSD. I know that the Samsung SSD would probably be faster, but I don't think this would matter too much. The reason why I'm interested in an M2 SSD is that apparently it would make the building process a lot easier. If it wouldn't help that much, then I think I would prefer to go with the non-M2 SSD, so I'm interested to see how much of a difference an M2 SSD would make.

I can get either SSD for a similar price, with the M2 SSD being a WD Blue, and the non-M2 SSD being the Samsung 850 EVO. My build is as follows:

You can also get the 850 EVO for a similar price on amazon.

(hopefully this doesn't trigger automod)

Sono nella tua stessa barca, ma con uno da 250GB forse non ci faccio quasi nulla. Sto guardando questo

E se non li hai usati già ricordati i due buoni sconto della ricarica sisal!

EDIT: come non detto. Era a 129€ quando ho messo il link, è già risalito di 30€. Adesso sto vedendo quello crucial da 525GB o quello Sandisk da 480GB.

u/zombibeef · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

M.2 SSDs are about the same price, yes slightly more expensive than SATA SSDs but they also cut down on cabels and are faster. in my opinion they are worth it

u/kiwiandapple · 2 pointsr/buildapcforme

I didn't even realise that Amazon was in Spain & that PCPartPicker (the website we use to look for parts) had Spain as well.

But.. I couldn't find everything and I am certain that certain parts are cheaper at other shops. Especially the GTX1080 currently is on high prices because the demand is higher than the supply from Nvidia. Meaning that stores can ask high prices since people are paying it anyway.
Regardless, this list of hardware shops helped me find the fans. You can have a look at certain shops as well.

Anyway, I managed to put together an absolute beast (I'm jealous!) of a PC together for you where I did not compromise anywhere on the parts. I went for high quality & performance pretty much for everything. If you want to hear my rationale or know more about certain choices that I made, let me know and I will explain it to you.


I as well found some great fans to keep this PC almost dead silent. These fans are actually hard to find, since I don't think that they're still produced.
But you want to use the NoiseBlocker fans on the radiator instead of the stock fans that come with it. These fans will reduce the noise & increase the performance by a good margin. Reducing the temperature of the CPU by a good amount.
You want to use the Scythe as 1 in the rear as exhaust and then.. the other one you have a couple of options, you can place it on some rails on the right or left side to push some more air inside or at the bottom. The use of this fan is to provide a bit more air for the GPU.

I would personally go with the Samsung 850 Evo 500GB

u/GermanMidgetPran · 1 pointr/buildapcsalesuk

That's for the Euro. Which hasn't lost value as much the pound has. 850 Evo on Amazon UK See how the price has been rising since the end of June (Brexit), well before the holidays. Your point is still valid, I would say it's a bit of both.

u/Isanion · 1 pointr/buildapc

For a few more hours you can get a 850 EVO 500GB for the equivalent of £100 on amazon italy:
http://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B00P73B1E4?/&tag=hotukdeals0a-21
Drop your RAM to 8GB and get this instead. 120GB will feel too small.

u/Tony_Danger · 1 pointr/buildapc

Changed the cooler. New one uses less power, runs quiter and has adjustable fan speed. Put everything except the case in via Amazon. MUCH easier when you get it all in one delivery. Also you will need some Thermal Paste

The PSU will be fine for your question below.

I've just bought a Samsung 850 EVO 500Gb SSD

I'll check their website now to see if they have some cloning software as if they do, it will be the most reputable software to use.

EDIT: Thanks u/ToxiCKY They have Data Migration Software

u/Vinday · 1 pointr/buildapc

My GPU is actually 200€ cheaper, but I couldn't find it on the website so I just opted for a random 1080. My build is originally 1500€. But since you recommended another SSD and it is faster and just slightly more expensive, will this one get the job done ?

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-Inch-Internal-MZ-75E500B-EU/dp/B00P73B1E4

Just making sure it's the correct one

u/MasterWiener · 1 pointr/buildapc

Will there be a noticeable speed increase in boot times and general applications going from an SSD to an M.2 NVME?

u/wolfeerine · 1 pointr/Rainbow6

that's the problem for consoles because it's 100% the SSD not being fully utilized. The ps4 will only use SATA 2 ports that's why i went with this one i bought a couple years back on an Amazon Sale. Theres no m.2 slot on the ps4 but even with some sort of adapter it's full speeds wont be usable and i doubt there'd be space for an adapter too.

u/ANAL_HOOPLA · 1 pointr/totallynotrobots

HUMAN BRAIN UPGRADE

THIS HUMAN BRAIN WILL PROVIDE OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE FOR CURRENCY EXPENDITURE; OR THE MORE EXPENSIVE 850 PRO WILL PROVIDE SLIGHTLY SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE. THESE ARE HIGH QUALITY UNITS OF HARDWARE.

u/Jaww · 1 pointr/GlobalOffensive

I got macbook 2012 GT 650m i7 cpu. This is what made that shit work for me:
720P Resolution, everything else on Low/off with multi processing (Whatever its called) Disabled.

Launch Options: -novid -nod3d9ex +rate 128000 +fps_max 91 -threads 4

And finally this seems to do the trick for me: Verify game integrity.

I should say I've upgraded my hard drive to SSD and that made a big improvement in my performance in everything. Highly recommend you do the same.

Also Upgraded Ram to 8GB from 4GB.

Edit: I should say my FPS isn't perfect, it was before update but not anymore. Still though it is usually around 60-80 with occasional dips to 40 fps but very playable none the less.

u/smithyithy_ · 1 pointr/buildapcsalesuk

I've an 850 Evo 500gb and it's been great so far. I have Windows, my main programs and games on there. However with big games now reaching 50gb+ I'll need another soon.

I got mine from Amazon for around £145 - this SSD is listed twice on Amazon, at slightly different prices, I don't know if one is a retail version or how they've done it, but it's the same SSD, just a little cheaper.

ETA: Here it is. Temp out of stock. It shows £169.58 here, I paid £138.73 in early December. Worth keeping an eye out for.

ETA 2: The regular listing is a tenner off, at £144.27 - still a good buy IMO.

u/snessim · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Definitely. Here's a comparison.
The better looking SATA version of the 850 EVO 500GB is available for only $6 more than the mSATA variant, btw. New 850 EVOs come with a 5 year/75-300TBW warranty, too!

u/molassacre_ · 1 pointr/thinkpad

Yes, that will work. Note that the Samsung "Pro" models cost a little more, and the benefits are probably not going to be apparent. They can handle more reads/writes before wearing out. Unless you're running a server from your laptop, the normal model will last 10-30 years with daily use.

Link to normal model:

You may also want to buy a SATA adapter, per this article:

i personally use this sata 850 evo and this hdd which is very good and very cheap, amazing combo imo.

u/stefioan · 1 pointr/techsupport

I have this and want to go for another one.

u/DontBeSneeky · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

I would be wary of buying second-hand products from cex. Especially headsets as they claim to test all products thoroughly, but I have a few friends that have worked there and they cut corners and half the time things don't even get tested properly or at all. You also have the hygiene factor to take into consideration when buying a headset.

The prices are not that great either, when you can get the same ssd from scan for £6 more brand new or £6 less from aria, £1 less at amazon uk;

u/luffy1567 · 1 pointr/PcMasterRaceBuilds

Yh it would be pushing it.

I get you about stuttering in SLI, but it seems worse for some reason with the 10 series.

Maybe its because I'm so impressed with the jump in performance with these cards, I just expected better and the fact that Nvidia released their own high bandwidth SLI bridge, made me think they'd invested a lot of time in research and it would be stable. (Within reason)

Anyways, what do you think about going for M.2 over a standard SSD, it should be faster and its similarly priced.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-inch-Solid-State-Drive/dp/B00P73B1E4/ref=pd_lpo_147_bs_t_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=994A5YD66EJ7PFKCV6A9&th=1 and https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-500GB-850-EVO-M-2/dp/B00TGIW1XG

u/Murcer · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Yes, the Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB 2.5 inch Solid State Drive and also a HDD.

It crashes with the HDD disconnected also.

u/xtothel · 1 pointr/postprocessing

Looks like there is room for 1 additional stick of ram, you can get something like this to double the amount available: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Crucial-PC3L-12800-SODIMM-204-Pin-CT102464BF160B/dp/B006YG8X9Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1511889953&sr=8-1&keywords=ddr3l1600+sdram

Though, what you could do is opening up the task manager when you have Spotify and LR/PS open and see how much RAM you have left. This will tell you if RAM is indeed a problem (I suspect it is, as LR/PS uses a lot of RAM).

Another contributor to the issue would be the 1TB HDD. Usually laptop hard drives are spin slower and thus the lower read/write speeds. When your laptop runs out of memory, Windows will attempt to use your hard drive as memory swap, since the hard drive is slow as well then you are waiting a long time and Spotify would stutter due to lack of memory and slow read/write.

So here's what you could do:

  1. Add an additional 8GB of RAM.

  2. Purchase a SSD, something like (I'm not familiar with UK prices, may want to shop around):https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00P73B1E4/ref=twister_B013ZJ4EWC?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

  3. If you do get the SSD, what do you do with the 1TB that you had before? Two options: external enclosure, so you can use it as a portable, or get rid of your DVD drive and buy an adapter to put your 1TB drive where your DVD drive used to be.

    With the suggestions above, you'll end up spending probably close to your $300 limit, but no new laptop :(. I did have a look on Amazon and the closest laptop that's got 16GBs of RAM and 512GB SSD is selling for about $800, though it does have better graphics card and CPU. Though refurbished laptops are selling for $450 to $700, maybe you can consider those, but be wary of the warranty.
u/Totts9 · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Really nice deal but it could use an SSD. Amazon have an upcoming deal in the UK for EVO 850 500GB. Waiting to see what the price will be.

u/Im-Noah · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

My motherboard is a asus p7h55-m pro

I'm considering getting a ssd too for a 100$ do you think that would add some good life to it?

this is the one I'm looking at

u/violetjoker · 1 pointr/buildapc

Thanks for the reply.

Might be a really stupid question but looking at the (german) amazon page of the Samsung Evo 850. https://www.amazon.de/Samsung-MZ-75E500B-EU-interne-schwarz/dp/B00P73B1E4/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1469454214&sr=1-1&keywords=samsung+850+evo

Is that a laptop/notebook ssd? Is there even a difference between a notebook or desktop ssd?
