£400 - £450 build.

I posted yesterday, but was pretty vague in my OP, so I'm going to be more specific here.

I need the system only, no keyboard, monitor, OS, mouse, etc.

I already have a graphics card and 8GB of Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey.

I would like have the ability to go crossfire or SLI in the future.

Would like to keep the price to £400, £450 at a push.

Would like to be able to overclock the processor, I don't want an after market cooler just yet, but when I have the money for one I will buy one.

Edit: I also have a hard drive.

Stulid read the op. He wants to be able to SLI/CF he will need atleast an 750W. Perhaps a 800W. Do you have a HDD?

if he has a low-mid range card such as the 560Ti or the 6950 he would be fine with a 650W PSU

also, you think stulid, the god of speccing, would not mention something like this

Hyburnate · 19 Dec 2011 at 20:32

Oh God, RJC take it as a compliment

Sorry. RJC

Yeah I'd spec a 620W PSU.

shootersam · 19 Dec 2011 at 20:37

Oh crap, I also have a hard drive. LOL. Should have mentioned this. Durrrr

With a 850w psu, the op could have been running crossfire 5850 which a 500w PSU would have ok.

Being called Stulid, that won't be the first!!
