Hi

I have put together a spec for a gaming machine which i would appreciate some input .

Any alterations or compatibility issues advice would be welcome :)

Thanks

 
Don't bother with the 4gb 760. Get a 280X instead. I'd change the PSU, too: you cant get a better quality (albeit non-modular) SuperFlower for that kind of money. Do you need that Blu-Ray RW? And I'm not sure about the pre-installed custom water cooling.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Sapphire Radeon R9 280X Dual-X OC 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Card with Battlefield 4 PC Game £251.99
1 x SuperFlower Golden Green HX 550W "80 Plus Gold" Power Supply - Black £59.99
Total : £321.58 (includes shipping : £8.00).




What is your budget?

Ahh ok i was wondering about the Coolermaster PSU . OK so changed PSU over to Superflower one. Good call of the GFX too. Anything else?

Also Re the blu - ray : I just need to play them not write them

I'd rather a 24" 1080p screen instead of 27", there's a loss of quality I find.

27" 1440p screen seems a better choice, rather than the faster refresh rate.
or 24" 120mhz/144hz screen @ 1080p

Tip for you, get a Blu-ray player instead of a drive for your PC. If you have the space and whatnot anyway.

The software that's about atm is generally not very good.
