It's time to build a new desktop PC! Step Two: Components Purchased!
After more than 12 years I decided to send my Desktop Pc on vacation to build a new Pc.
Although very old, my (dinosaur) Desktop Pc stood up very well until a few years ago thanks to the addition of an SSD and RAM expansion.
My current "dinosaur" Desktop PC has this configuration:
- CPU: Intel i3-530
- RAM: 6 GB DDR3
- NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT 1 GB
- SSD: 250 GB
- 3 HDDs: 4 Terabytes in total
Starting two-three years ago, I began to have the need to buy a new desktop pc with higher speed and more quietness.
Six days ago I chose the components to buy and shared my choices in the post you can read at this link: It's time to assemble my new Desktop PC! Step one: Choosing components to purchase (ENG/ITA)
Today I continue to share my process of creating my new pc, which has reached step 2: purchasing components.
After choosing the components of my new desktop pc, I immediately went from theory to practice: purchasing the components
With a budget of 1300 euro, I tried to balance my new configuration.
As CPU I chose Intel i5 14500.
At the time of choosing I had found a price on Amazon of 260 euros but then the moment I decided to buy this CPU the price on https://www.amazon.it/ went up to 290 euros and I preferred to look for a better price on other online stores.
I did not choose the store for the lowest price but I chose the lowest price among the stores that had many positive reviews and my choice went to the store: https://www.bpm-power.com/
Intel i5 14500 was my first purchase from this store and I spent: 246.84 + 6.25 = 253.09 euros
I placed the order on April 16, 2024 and the CPU was shipped but I haven't received it yet and considering that today is Sunday it will most likely arrive at my house on Monday.
All other components I purchased from https://www.amazon.it/
As Motherboard I purchased ASUS Prime B760-PLUS: Intel LGA 1700 ATX motherboard, DDR5 PCIe 5.0, 3 M.2 slots, ...
Cost: €149.49
The motherboard has already arrived at my house and I am waiting for the CPU to arrive to open it.
I somewhat regretted this purchase because there were other motherboards that I liked better but with my budget I had to compromise.
Still, I think I bought a motherboard with very good quality/price ratio.
As a power supply (PSU) I chose be quiet! Pure Power 12 M 850W, ATX 3.0 and PCIe 5.0 compatible, 80 PLUS Gold, modular power supply, 12VHPWR cable included, be quiet! 120 mm fan, BN344
The power supply is often an item that people make the mistake of saving money on, and I made that mistake with my old pc and changed at least 5 power supplies in about 13 years.
This time I chose a modular, quiet, quality power supply with 80 Plus Gold certification that should last many years.
I spent 138.33 euros and the power supply is already at my house.
As for the storage element I bought a 2 TB 4th generation Internal M.2SSD with a read speed of up to 7000 MB/s: Lexar NQ790 2 TB
I spent 154.99 euros
RAM RAM RAM and RAM! It is never enough
In my old pc I increased the RAM 3 times starting from 2 GB to 6 GB.
This time I chose to have a good amount of fast RAM from the start.
I bought 2 16 GB DDR5 modules: Corsair VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz C30.
I spent 144.39 euros.
The RAM and SSD also arrived at my house.
The video card I purchased is the ASUS DUAL NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 OC 8 GB GDDR6
I bought this video card because it has so many positive reviews and also has a very good price/quality ratio in my opinion.
I spent 318.99 euros and also the video card was shipped and arrived at my home.
The case I purchased is the be quiet! Pure Base 500 FX Black Midi Tower**.
I spent 135.70 euros on this case.
I chose this case because of the positive reviews I've read and also because it has preinstalled four quiet, excellent quality fans that if purchased separately cost more than 70 euros.
The case also arrived at my house and you can see it in the next photo.
For my new desktop pc I spent 1294.98 euros but I will overrun even if slightly my initial budget with the purchase of Windows 11 Pro which should cost me about 50 euros.
With my new desktop pc I will take a big step forward in terms of speed and performance compared to my old computer:
CPU: Intel i3-530 -> Intel i5-14500
RAM: 6 GB DDR3 -> 32 GB DDR5
VIDEO: NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT 1 GB -> NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 OC 8 GB
SSD: 250 GB -> 2TB M.2 SSD
Now I just have to wait for the CPU to arrive to begin assembly and I will share the next steps in creating my new Desktop PC here on Hive.
I hope you liked my post and thank you for taking your time to read it!
E' tempo di assemblare un un nuovo PC! Passo 2: Componenti acquistati!
Dopo più di 12 anni ho deciso di mandare in vacanza il mio Desktop Pc per costruire un nuovo Pc.
Anche se molto vecchio il mio (dinosaur) desktop Pc si è difeso molto bene fino a qualche anno fa grazie all'aggiunta di un SSD e all'espansione della RAM.
Il mio attuale "dinosaur" Desktop PC ha la seguente configurazione:
- CPU: Intel i3-530
- RAM: 6 GB DDR3
- NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT 1 GB
- SSD: 250 GB
- 3 HDD: 4 Terabyte in totale
A partire da due-tre anni fa ho iniziato ad avere l'esigenza di acquistare un nuovo desktop pc più veloce e più silenzioso.
Sei giorni fa ho scelto i componenti da acquistare e ho condiviso le mie scelte nel post che puoi leggere a questo link: It's time to assemble my new Desktop PC! Step one: Choosing components to purchase (ENG/ITA)
Oggi continuo a condividere il mio processo di creazione del mio nuovo pc che è arrivato alla fase 2: l'acquisto dei componenti.
Dopo aver scelto i componenti del mio nuovo desktop pc sono passato immediatamente dalla teoria alla pratica.
Con un budget di 1300 euro ho cercato di bilanciare la mia nuova configurazione.
Come CPU ho scelto Intel i5 14500
Nel momento in cui ho deciso di acquistare questa CPU il prezzo su https://www.amazon.it/ era di 290 euro e ho preferito cercare un prezzo migliore su altri negozi online.
Non ho scelto il negozio per il prezzo più basso ma ho scelto il prezzo più basso tra i negozi che avevano molte recensioni positive e la mia scelta è andata sul negozio: https://www.bpm-power.com/
Intel i5 14500 è stato il mio primo acquisto presso questo negozio e ho speso: 246.84 + 6.25 = 253.09 euro
Ho fatto l'ordine il 16 aprile 2024 e la CPU è stata spedita ma non l'ho ancora ricevuta e considerato che oggi è domenica con molta probabilità arriverà a casa mia lunedi.
Tutti gli altri componenti li ho acquistati su https://www.amazon.it/
Come Motherboard ho acquistato ASUS Prime B760-PLUS: Scheda madre Intel LGA 1700 ATX, DDR5 PCIe 5.0, 3 slot M.2, ...
Costo: 149.49 euro
La scheda madre è già arrivata a casa mia e aspetto che arrivi la CPU per aprirla.
Un pò mi sono pentito di questo acquisto perchè c'erano altre schede madri che mi piacevano di più ma con il mio budget ho dovuto fare dei compromessi.
Penso comunque di aver acquistato una scheda madre dall'ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo.
Come alimentatore (PSU) ho scelto be quiet! Pure Power 12 M 850W, compatibile ATX 3.0 e PCIe 5.0, 80 PLUS Gold, alimentatore modulare, cavo 12VHPWR incluso, ventola be quiet! da 120 mm, BN344
L'alimentatore è spesso un elemento su cui si fa l'errore di risparmiare e io ho fatto questo errore con il mio vecchio pc e ho cambiato almeno 5 alimentatori in circa 13 anni.
Questa volta ho scelto un alimentatore modulare, silenzioso e di qualità con certificazione 80 Plus Gold che dovrebbe durare molti anni.
Ho speso 138.33 euro e l'alimentatore è già a casa mia.
Per quanto riguarda l'elemento di memorizzazione ho acquistato un SSD Interno M.2 da 2 TB di 4 generazione con una velocità di lettura fino a 7000 MB/s: Lexar NQ790 2 TB
Ho speso 154.99 euro
RAM RAM e RAM!
Nel mio vecchio pc ho aumentato la RAM 3 volte partendo da 2 GB per arrivare a 5 GB.
Questa volta ho scelto di avere fin da subito un buon quantitativo di RAM veloce.
Ho acquistato 2 moduli DDR5 da 16 GB: Corsair VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz C30.
Ho speso 144.39 euro.
Anche la RAM e l'SSD sono arrivati a casa mia.
La scheda video che ho acquistato è la ASUS DUAL NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 OC 8 GB GDDR6
Ho acquistato questa scheda video perchè ha tante recensioni positive e ha secondo me anche un rapporto qualità/prezzo molto buono.
Ho speso 318.99 euro e anche la scheda video è stata spedita ed è arrivata a casa mia.
Il Case che ho acquistato è il be quiet! Pure Base 500 FX Black Midi Tower**.
Ho speso per questo case 135.70 euro.
Ho scelto questo case per le recensioni positive che ho letto e anche perchè ha preinstallate quattro ventole silenziose e di ottima qualità che se acquistate a parte hanno un costo superiore ai 70 euro.
Anche il case è arrivato a casa mia e lo puoi vedere nella foto seguente.
Per il mio nuovo desktop pc ho speso 1294.98 euro ma sforerò anche se di poco il mio budget iniziale con l'acquisto di Windows 11 Pro che dovrebbe costarmi circa 50 euro.
Con il mio nuovo desktop pc farò un bel passo in avanti in termini di velocità e prestazioni rispetto al mio vecchio computer:
CPU: Intel i3-530 -> Intel i5-14500
RAM: 6 GB DDR3 -> 32 GB DDR5
VIDEO: NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT 1 GB -> NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 OC 8 GB
SSD: 250 GB -> 2TB M.2 SSD
Adesso devo solo aspettare che arrivi la CPU per iniziare l'assemblaggio e condividerò le successive fasi di creazione del mio nuovo Desktop PC qui su Hive.

I did upgrade my PC in 2022 and chosen tongo with i7 9th Gen along with 32 GB ram. The performance has been amazing since then and I never had issues with speed. I am sure you are going to enjoy the speed of your new PC as 32gb Ram is too much. Congratulations bro
Hello my friend and thank you for sharing your experience with your i7 and 32 GB ram. I can't wait to assemble my new pc and try it but I am still waiting for the delivery of the cpu which I hope will arrive soon :)

It sounds like a nice PC. I agree with the power supply being better. If you start swapping in parts and you need more power, you don't want to have to buy a new one.
exactly my friend, the power supply is an important element

Spending about 1300 euro on a PC is a lot of money. I’m sure the PC will be working very fine
I hope it lasts for so long

Con quelle specs sarai a posto per anni! Hai fatto un investimento importante, ma hai preso componenti che hanno le potenzialità per durarti tanto, tanto tempo.
Per Windows se hai ancora il seriale del tuo vecchio pc (che comunque può essere recuperato tramite CMD), puoi anche provare a reinstellarlo sul nuovo pc e vedere se va: se a suo tempo lo hai acquistato a parte (e non era preinstallato sul vecchio pc) dovrebbe essere una licenza "trasferibile" (non quindi OEM), per cui di base è reinstallabile e attivabile su un nuovo pc.

Si amico mio ho cercato di scegliere una configurazione duratura pensando alla qualità dei componenti.
L'unico elemento per cui non sono molto convinto è la scheda madre ma ormai è fatta e qualche compromesso dovevo farlo in base al budget.
Per windows non avevo win 11 e quindi lo acquisterò in forma digitale spendendo max 30-50 euro ;)

Neanche Win10? Perchè per quello ci dovrebbe essere ancora la possibilità di fare l'upgrade gratuito! Tecnicamente c'era anche per i sistemi operativi precedenti, ma la procedura ufficiale ormai non è più disponibile e non so se ne esistano ancora di alternative (fino a 3-4 anni fa mi ricordo che si poteva ancora ad esempio).

Price is something that you'll always compromise on especially when your budget is limited. 1300€ is still quite a lot of money. But I'm sure the motherboard you went for is decent enough to give due quality.
Hopefully you get to finish this nicely.

Sorry I missed the previous post, I'll check that in a bit, but the new pieces are killer man! All the pieces look like they will take you for the next 10 years or so. Did you spend too much? Maybe, but it looks like it was worth it. I wish you to use them on good days.
Thanks my friend, yes I hope this pc will also last me at least 10 years ;)
