Hey everyone, it's my first time using these forums and just hoping there is a few people out there that can give me some good advice and point me in the right direction for my new pc
.
First of all, I've had my pc for little over 2 and a half years now, i5 2500 gtx570 etc, pretty old kit. I was on a pretty tight budget and it was my first real gaming pc so I was happy with it at the time. With the upcoming release of Battlefield 4, I've been itching to get my hands on a new rig that will eat it's way through any of the recent and upcoming games for the next few years.
My first problem is that I would love the challenge of buying the components and assembling it myself, but after the ease of buying my current pc from ************, I'm torn as it whether it would be safer to order from them again? I would love to buy all the parts from overclockers as I have the choice of choosing brand specific parts. So in short, my first question is should I build the pc myself (my preferred option if it is not that difficult) or just order of ************ or a similar site?
Second question is cpu/gpu related. As much as I would like to say my budget is unlimited, it sadly, is not. I would like to keep it below £2200. So the choices are between the 3930k or 4770k. For gpu it's between the 780(evga classified, mainly due to overclocking potential and I'm quite anal about the aesthetics inside the case, as it's a lovely looking card) and the titan (evga superclock). I want a pc that will not need replacing for the next 2-3 years and will continue to run games on max settings (a lot to ask for I know).
Motherboard is another main factor As I want something fast and something that is quite overclockable also. That being said I'm not an enthusiast or anything but I would like to experiment with overclocking. The one I had in mind was the ASUS rampage IV extreme. Any review I have read about this board has been nothing but positive, not to mention great overclocking potential.
Other components would include 16gb hyper x beast 2400mhz ram, 120gb Kingston hyper x 3k ssd, standard 2tb hdd. Power supply would be the Seasonic 660w platinum 80 plus modular. People say they are the most reliable power supplies you can get, not to mention I would never dream of using a cheap power supply. As for wattage, It is all I need as for the moment I have no intention of going into a sli configuration.
The case will be the Corsair 600T white. Fell in love with this case the moment I seen it and has more than enough room to fit in all my components and leave plenty of space for good air circulation. WIll also be fitting a Corsair h100i to whichever cpu I end up getting and replacing the stock fans with the corsair air series. With regards to sleeved cables, I do not want to see any coloured cables, and everything will have to be neatly arranged. So any advice on that would be greatly appreciated too!
So I think I have mentioned all of my queries. I know a lot of people will probably look at my desired specs and say that I do not need this or that to play certain games/perform certain tasks etc. But it's in my nature to have the best things and when I have my mind set on something I work my ass off to get it
. I know I'm asking a lot of questions here but This could potentially be my first build and I want to make sure I do it right
