Gaming PC (£2000 Budget)

Lol, I agree b-star, another thing I don't get, no matter what the budget, £200, or £2000, there will still be people posting things over budget, I don't understand how you could possibly go over budget on £2000, but still... £1000 is all you really need for a top end rig that will last you a good 4-5 years(before you become bored of it) So how people are going over budget on £2000 is beyond me =[ I'd suggest only spending £1000 and then using the other £1000 to treat yourself to a Holiday or something, but that's me =] lol

That's the other thing that goes on in these threads - we have no idea whether the OP is going to be living off beans to pay for the build, or whether their car is more expensive than my house and they're going to dubai for 2 months over summer.

If someone on my budget spent 2,000 on a PC, I'd consider it stupid. If the owner of the aston martin and £600k house up the posh end of town spent the same, that's actually probably pretty cheap.

Unfortunately some cretins do like to judge solely based on their own standards, not realising that some people have more money or just put more importance on owning a decent CPU. If I was a multimedia freelancer (ie lots of adobe suite) I'd probably think nothing of spending £2,000 on a rig if my entire yearly income depended on it.
 
Why someone has the budget they have for a build is frankly none of our business and is not something we or anyone else has a right to judge they state their budget and ask for help if no helpful suggestion can be made then make none at all. There are it seems to me too many people these days on the internet with nothing better to do with their time then find complaint and reason to moan about things that are nothing to do with them. Good luck with your build m8 i hope it works first time and you have no problems at all and that your happy with it because thats all that matters no matter who you are or what you spend :).

You couldn't get anywere near a decent system for 1k which includes a monitor. cpu/mobo/ram is going to cost best part of 600 and a monitor another 250. that leaves you hardly anything to buy the rest of the system. I don't understand these statements. Even 3k is totally reasonable if going water cooled.
 
Thanks to all with who have said good luck with build and stuff, also thanks to all who have helped me out with specs and stuff.

Yeah, your right. I dont get all these people going your gunna spend 2k on a PC that stupid. But its not really, it makes more sence to spend abit of cash on a PC which will run games in good spec and not have to upgrade as much, than buying a cheap PC and then upgrading constanly because it cant give the the FPS you want. Just on the point my PC comes to about £1800 so I didnt actualy spend 2k I said it was a budget of 2k I didnt say I had to spend 2k just that was my final point really.

very nice choice of parts :D.

Good luck with the build. Build my first PC in January this year went well apart from a set of ram needing RMA that got lost in the post and i have lost the receipt lol. Only cost me £20 so not to much of a worry :D.

Would still go for the Be Quiet PSU range :)

You say you are Raid 0 320 GB HDD so what HDD is going to be for your Music, word documents etc. As Raid 0 is very risky especially if you don't regularly back up your documents. I would recommend getting 320GB HDD raid 0 for OS, games for faster opening times the 1Tb F1 for Music etc :D.
