£1300 - Thanks pals :)

unp|dissy · 14 Jul 2013 at 12:09

Hey guys,

Looking into a new build this week and I've around £1300 to spend on it. Will be primarily used for 1080p gaming which I may also get into streaming the games with. I'd also love to use this as a way of learning watercooling but I fear it may be a little out of budget

I've always asked for specs here in the past (stulid's pulled it out of the bag twice for me in the past, cheers!) and they've never failed to be brilliant, so if someone could perhaps spec me a build for £1300?

Thanks =)

What do you need? Just tower? OS? Monitor/KB/Mouse etc?

unp|dissy · 14 Jul 2013 at 12:59

Of course, sorry!

Just the entire tower

Don't need OS either, and dont need a storage drive, so a sole SSD would be preferred.

Awesome

unp|dissy · 14 Jul 2013 at 13:48

If i didn't go down the watercooling route, considering the gaming and streaming, how would the spec look then?

Any help appreciated from all.

Cheers guys

You could go self built, of course. But you;ll end up with something around that kind of spec.

unp|dissy · 14 Jul 2013 at 15:07

Interesting, ill add those components up and check the difference in cost. I guess that way i get the added benefit of not having to do it myself plus ocuk's expertise

That's a good build. I'd come up with more or less the same except I'd probably go for a 4670K (since it makes very little difference in games) and maybe spend the difference on a larger SSD - I'd also go for MSI Twin Frozrs instead.

I didn't realise it was a 560 rad.. Why?

Why not a 360 and a 240.. One in the top one in the front/bottom?
