    New system, good/bad? Suggestions?



    Swedish site, don't ask me to buy elsewhere. They have their HQ close to where I live so no shipping costs, and they have awesome customer support. Already have a case, monitor and all the other stuff like speakers and m/kb.

    I'm basically looking for a new gaming and general purpose computer with some mild video editing in between. My family will get my old one so I get a "discount" on this. :awes2 I don't really care that much about graphics which is why I picked the 5770. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions or if I've forgotten something (lol), or else I'll just go right ahead and order in a couple of hours or so.

    Cheers

    Yup, all good. Only thing to note is that the PSU isn't modular. Maybe a problem with a small case or if you want a clean look.

      Case is an Antec 300, so it's fairly big and you can't see into it very well anyway, so it's all good.

      Thanks Alex

        Looks overpriced to me, but I understand that comp hardware is generally more expensive in Europe than it is here in NA.

          It is more expensive, but also remember the average income in most of Europe is higher than that of the US. So, it costs more, but it's not as bad as you may think :)

            Taxes are pretty crazy here especially for electronics. You know those taxes goes for a good cause but it still hurts a bit sometimes. :p

            Anyway, got it ordered now, thanks guys.

              Good choices. I'm working on the same build with the MSI GD65. You might consider getting 4GB or 8GB of memory. Socket 1156 is dual channel.

                Oh snap just remembered that, will probably get another 2GB memory sooner or later then.
