Corsair 350d build - £900 w/ Monitor

[DotFifty89]

Was looking at building a pc using a coolermaster 130, but more options have opened and I can get a case thats a little bigger .

I do not intend to overclock,

Intel is preffered,

I need Windows 7,

Corsair 350d (windowed),

a theme would be nice,

a 24" (has to be 24) monitor included in budget of £900,

No other periphirals.

Also, would you be able to say if the build you spec be able to handle the modern games well?

Thanks in advance for any responses

What is this to be used for?

Gaming

 

[Fallen god]

I would go with something like this, decent red theme, i5 and a 270x should run most games max'd out. Not much budget for a SSD.

The Ereboss probably wont fit in the case, it's a big'un.

The Ereboss probably wont fit in the case, it's a big'un.

Ahh, reviewed I checked said it had 180mm of clearance.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Raijintek Themis Direct Contact CPU Cooler £17.99
Total : £23.96 (includes shipping : £4.98).




Would this fit better?

 

[stulid]

Anything under 160mm will fit.

 

[DotFifty89]

Thanks, any more suggetions?

Note, I will not be overclocking

Hey again Dot

Further to Fallen's suggestion, and since you won't be overclocking and don't need a lot of CPU cooling (but it should still be pretty good), I've picked out some parts that I reckon would look great, since you'd like a theme:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Be Quiet Power Zone 650W '80 Plus Bronze' Fully Modular Power Supply £89.99
1 x Prolimatech Samuel 17 CPU Cooler £34.99
1 x Zaward Golf III Fan 120mm PWM LED ZG3-120B - black/red £10.98




The black/red fan on the black/red mobo, with its white LEDS giving the mobo some shine. And the golf ball dots (!) form very cool grooves as the fan spins. 120mm so it doesn't cover too much of the mobo.

The PSU has a clean black side face which is what I was looking for, to match the 350D. Well, it does say "Power Zone" in white letters but that wouldn't affect things much. Better than an ugly sticker with different colours. And it's modular. Bit expensive for your budget though. But something like that would keep with the theme, if possible.

 

[DotFifty89]

I dont really think that I need the 4670k and that mobo as I wont be overclocking, or am I wrong. Would someone be able to spec another themed build, and a non themed build so I can see if the price difference is worh it for just the looks, can everything be included to as in fans etc so then I know exactly how much itl cost, will be very gratefull

Went a bit overboard on the cooler..

Any Low profile cooler and blue fan will do,.

 

[DotFifty89]

I like the look of that but how does it handle recent games?

 

[ShivP]

270X is a good card for the price, should play most games on high settings at decent FPS, good card

 

[Doomedspeed]

A 270x is basically a 7870/7950... So it will Rip through games at 1080p.

Do it, you will love it!

P.S Don't buy an XFX PSU, it was very quickly swapped back to a Corsair
