Brief description
Regarding
motherboard, processor and memory we recommend Intels most recent socket 1155
combined with 2 x 4 GByte of DDR3 memory. Paired up with an Intel Core i5-3470
CPU there is plenty of performance for gaming. The motherboard supports SLI
which means that in a year, if you shouldn't have enough gaming power anymore,
you can simply buy the same graphics card you already own for a second time and
you're back on the safe side. As a video card we recommend a Radeon HD 7870 which in this case comes from
Sapphire. This card offers enough performance to
enjoy recent games.

Brief description
With the
Xigmatek Asgard we recommend a compact ATX case that offers a good compromise
between price and ergonomics. The is enough space to put all the components in
there. Regarding the power supply we chose a Seasonic X-460. The thing
offers 460 Watts and it has been 80 PLUS Gold certified. According to
80plus.org this block comes with an average efficiency of 90 percent which
really is ok when you consider the price.

good gaming products. Mousepad as well as headset come from SteelSeries and also
offer a pleasant gaming experience.
