I'm back.

[MarkJr]

Hello there fellow Overclockers and gents. I realise my mistakes of making, stupid stuff that was never going to happen. I hope you can forgive me in my mistakes, as I have matured much more now. Anyways, I made a much more sensible build I am "HOPING" to get around August. I need to know if it'll all fit and work good. Will salvage Home Premium from my current desktop. Here's the build:

And the fun continues. Only a 2k build this time?

New stuff...including Haswell will be out by August, I wouldn't recommend following any builds until then.

 

[Idleman]

And what exactly, is going to be the main uses for this system?

 

[MarkJr]

Thanks for the advice, I forgot about OS and my monitor only has one VGA. Will I have to get a VGA to DVI connector?

 

[MarkJr]

And what exactly, is going to be the main uses for this system?

Gaming, editing, uploading ect.

 

[MarkJr]

Update: added 7950's instead of 7970's.

 

[lee32uk]

You don't need a 1200W psu for starters.

 

[MarkJr]

Thanks, I was wondering that also.

 

[bsoltan]

What monitor do you have?

£2k and no SSD?

You've also selected the 32bit OS. Not fancying Windows 8 then?

 

[beasty6]

i think a new monitor is needed as well, maybe a 24" 1080p?

 

[MarkJr]

Guys, I'm trying really hard to make this pretty cheap, I already got a monitor, I already got a keyboard, mouse, OS in another hard drive, I'm fine for all that!

 

[MarkJr]

Is Windows 8 easy to use?

VGA will be very disappointing with 7950CF

the spec i have posed will play everything and has a 144hz gaming monitor and a 240gb ssd

 

[MarkJr]

I do like these builds, but somehow I have made mine cheaper, I don't care about a monitor and I'm pretty sure I'll stick with what I've got. I could just grab another monitor for Christmas couldn't I?

 

[beasty6]

yes could but the picture quality of VGA to DVI is large

if you can wait then go for it but i recommend a new monitor as well

Think you'd be better off with a one of those nice Seasonic or XFX PSU's

 

[MarkJr]

Check the update guys.
