that's actually pretty dope for 450 eurobucks. I'm not sold on the mobo though, might make it hard to upgrade in the future.
Also
>windows 10

Throw that shit in the trash

You got a great deal, OP.

The only thing you might think about changing is your HDD. 230 gig aren't all that much. Exchange it for a 3 tb drive.
>>
>>323044417
Wow nice steal
>>
>>323044417
You did gud nigga. Look into OCing for your GPU, it makes quite a bit of difference and the 970 overclocks like a champ. Your temps are all fine.

Just get more storage later because that's a shitty HDD you have there with only 250gb. The SSD is great though, but that HDD needs to go.

And upgrade to windows 8.1
>>
>>323044579
Is there anything really awful with Windows 10, or is it just another meme.

Only thing I've heard people talk shit about is the monitoring stuff in it, but I don't care about that since privacy died years ago.
>>
>>323044729
OP can wait for a hard drive. That shit goes on sale like once every 2 weeks on Amazon. I got some Seagate external (inb4 Seagate is bad meme) that has 2 TBs for like 70 bucks.

I would save that CPU money since your GPU will be more of a bottleneck due to the 3.5MEME. I myself am getting the GTX X80 Pascal for delicious VR performance.
>>
>>323044849
I'm just meming desu. Apparently its fine. I only didn't upgrade since it apparently runs like fucking garbage on my 3D software which I use for work.
>>
thanks for the responses guys but i was hoping to get an answer for the motherboard temp
isnt 40 too high? and the guy said the CPU was overclocked to 4.40 GHz so im worried this will damage the PC

shit has a rad touchpad fan control on the front though put it on auto

Introduces more bugs while not fixing anything. Forced updates. Shit downloading on the background without your permission. It logs everything you type and sends it to microsoft.

It's a piece of fucking trash. Tried it for a week and couldn't stand it.
>>
>>323045170
I already said your temps were fine you mong and that overclock is also fine. You're good, now go learn how to OC your GPU to get anywhere from 10~15% more performance and play games.
>>
Should have gone with a 850 Evo instead of a 840 Evo, they're at the same price range and the 850 Evo life expectancy is doubled.
>>
>>323045293
master race is so rude thanks boss

There's something wrong with those RAM timings, can you tell me which pair model did you get?
>>
How much would a graphics card cost if i wanted to run most games released around 2014 at 30 fps constantly.

While I would have recommended Windows 7 and perhaps more hard drive space. Everything else looks serviceable.

They are probably overclocked

Open Slot #1 and tell me if SPD Ext. is set to XMP, otherwise you'll have to enable XMP in the Bios. Your timings should be balanced like pic related.
>>
>>323046417
It's obviously overclocked but the timings are still off.
>>
I'm considering upgrading, but I'm not sure if I should keep my case with integrated PSU. It's 5 years old, does those things have a good lifespan ?
>>
>>323044849
>Is there anything really awful with Windows 10
How about you read up on it yourself?
>>
>>323046450
HyperX Beast is not from Crucial, it's from Kingston, and if so you made a terrible choice, Kingston sticks are not very reliable.
>>
Specs are really great for that price. Your biggest problem might actually be harddrive space. Modern games are like 20+ gigs.

I heard those HD models are very prone to failure, when I bought my HD I actually went and bought one generation behind to avoid that drive.
