Hi guys,

First time poster here, just wondering if you guys could spec me a £1400 build including monitor? will mainly be used for gaming, design and streaming. relatively new to this so dont want to embarass myself by posting my own build. let me know what you guys think :) oh and if possible can the monitor be 24" too.

thanks
Ross

looks great to me, would it be able to run most games on high settings? also if i swapped the mobo for this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-235-MS

would I still get the same performance out of it?
love the case btw

Haha, not going to take sides on this one, both look great. also would I have any need for overclocking or should the build run just fine on its own?
 
Yes, it would be fine.

I would however lean towards Dooms spec, the extra grunt from the 290x would be quite something, especially when Mantle is released.

@DOOM, I did try to keep into £1400 as close as I could :)
 
Nice specs guys. I'd just change the LED lighting to white, and find some suitable Avexir Red memory. Otherwise the whole thing looks too red and you don't really see how well it matches. Could even go for a NZXT Hue to allow all sorts of lighting options and effects, although you'd have to store the module somewhere inside the interior (as it doesn't have 5.25" bays). That shouldn't be too much of a problem. Loads of room.
