Full PC spec required: high end

[James J]

Hi all,

I'm wondering what's the best sort of gaming PC I can get for my budget, which is around £3k.

Not sure whether to go 1440p or 27 inch 144hz ATM, so a spec with either would be useful. Also I'd like all of the components to be in stock, not ore-order based stuff.

Primarily going to play BF4 multiplayer on this, but with all the bells and whistles. Due to that, needs to have some good gpu's!

I also need a mouse and keyboard but is go Logitech for both with the £59.99 mouse that has buttons for dpi alteration and a decent gaming keyboard if the funds allow. I'd also like a 240gb main ssd drive and a 3tb internal hdd for games.

Any ideas?

[Ronson12]

£3K and no socket 2011 is fail.

one of the builds is 2011

 

[stulid]

one of the buildw is 2011++

Yes it is, I done it.

 

[Fulax]

Pfff...£3k and no colour-coordination is fail.

 

[Ronson12]

Yes it is, I done it.

i don't know but isn't a £500 CPU a bit overkill?,the other guy has saved £250.maybe that could be used to improve something else?

 

[PhysicsMan94]

£3K and no socket 2011 is fail.

Oi, my build cost £3K in July 2013 and it's not 2011 socket! Although mine does have a watercooling loop

But, in all seriousness, Stulid's build is great, OP.
