Gaming pc Build £700-£800

minieggman · 1 Jul 2013 at 19:18

hello i am new to the forums and wonder if i am posting in the right place but i am looking to build a pc for gaming. this pc will be used for games such as dayz, battlefield 4 and call of duty ghosts. my budget is £700-£800 for the tower and os i am willing to go £40 over budget if needed. for the case i would like something with a window and hopefully a cpu that i can overclock someone with a watercooler.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Can`t do you a spec at the moment, just off to get my dinner. But I am sure one of the lads will be a long shortly. I see RJC loitering about, pretty sure he`ll spec you something decent to meet your needs.

nice build but that case doesnt have support for water cooling so maybe a case without a window that i will mod that has support for watercooling?

RJC · 1 Jul 2013 at 19:59

The watercooler is a long lead time as its a refurbished unit.

You can't without modding it bud, the 300R also won't take it. The Antec GX 700 would take the H100 just fine though.

There is an iso to download for the Windows 8.1 trial edition. He can give that a bash for now and concentrate more of the budget on parts perhaps

minieggman · 1 Jul 2013 at 20:12

what modding will it need

Doesn't fit the roof, you have to modify the drive cage and mount at the front.

TTL did a ovrehaul of the Shinobi which you can watch HERE

RJC · 1 Jul 2013 at 20:16

You could go with the H80 which can mount on the rear fan assemble of the Corsair 300R - Specced above.

minieggman · 1 Jul 2013 at 20:18

hmm what about a 400r
