Hey guys, I'm thinking of putting together a new gaming PC. I have a 1920x1200 monitor and I don't plan on upgrading that any time soon (so this build would be for that resolution).
I have a budget of around 1000€ (I'm from Estonia so it might be hard for you guys to suggest alternatives - the site I will probably order from will be either www.1a.ee[1] or www.arvutitark.ee[2] ).
I have a 1TB HDD already so I only need a SSD. I was thinking either 250GB or 500GB. But seeing how big new games are and I really hate worrying about space I'm thinking maybe I'll just pay the extra for the 500 one.
The big question is the gpu - the obvious choice here is either 970 or the r9 390. Now I know a lot of people here will probably say that the 390 is the obvious choice (similar performance atm but more future-proof with 8GB and it might work better with dx12). But I'm also a little bit afraid seeing how nvidia has way more market-share and will probably have better support.
Everything else I picked on my own, any changes are welcome (just tell me a component, I can check the prices then).
I have put together two similar builds, one with 970 from 1a.ee the other with 390 from arvutitark.ee
