Do you require an operating system ?
Do you want the option to run 2 cards ?

Stulids build above is very nice for a single card setup.

A vauge budget would also help.

You don't need one..

Most people use a small-ish 120/250GB SSD and a 1TB HArd drive for file storage..

Doing it that way could save you a £100 or so..

Though if your happy with a 500Gb SSD, drop the HDD from stulids spec and add windows 7/8/8.1..

Blindeagle · 14 Nov 2013 at 18:17

if u want a gaming comp i would advice getting a smaller SSD, and a 1TB hard drive and a better grahic card , no really need for a 500gb on ur budget , its just stupid really

Is that ok? And what graphic instead? And my friend has got a spare OS

I don't think the WD black is worth the money, HDD speeds have stagnated in the past few years.

Boom great build, i however would wiat like 3 more weeks for the 290 cards to come out so that the noise and heat gets better but other than that good shizzle

lee32uk · 14 Nov 2013 at 18:49

Aren't the 290 and 290x cards pretty noisy ?

stulid · 14 Nov 2013 at 18:59

There are as loud as people think they are.

The recent Catalyst Beta driver increased the fan speed to 47% from 40.

But the bang per buck is epic.

Sapphire Radeon R9 290X 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card what about this card?

good card but not worth the extra £120, that's the card I have(well the bf4 edition which cost me £480 on release, wish I'd waited a couple of weeks).

The gtx770

You don't need a separate CPU cooler if you're buying from here, if buying a large CPU air cooler need to make sure it doesn't clash with the ram if its not low profile.

5 years warranty on the Western Digital Vs 1 year warranty on the Seagate Barracuda.

I already said the D3HP comes with a free heatsink so why add another?

The D3HP doesnt support SLI so you dont need a 750W PSU.
