£1k to spend

[sdfuk]

Hi all

I need a new build which will be for gaming and video encoding. I need:

CPU - at the moment i'm not sure to go with the new skylake
CPU Cooler
Motherboard
RAM
GPU - I have a Nvidea Geforce GTX 750ti at the moment.
SSD

I'm going to keep my old coolermaster case as its massive and has loads of space. I'm also ok for the power supply (its 1000w).

Thanks for any help.

Do you know which case and PSU it is?

 

[sdfuk]

Hi
Sorry I didn't reply quicker.
The case is a Coolermaster Cosmos S and the power supply is an Enermax Galaxy 1000w
Cheers
S

That cooler might not fit. The max size is 154.9mm according to CoolerMaster website and the Alpenfohn is 158mm.

Thanks for the reply. Leave the Skylake for now then?
Also, is my 750 ti no good for latest games?

 

[Digital X]

It will be fine on a mix of medium/high. See this: http://www.geforce.co.uk/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-750-ti/performance

Why in nearly 2016 are PS2 ports still supplied on motherboards?

No RAM

 

[Gabbatek]

No RAM

always forget the damn ram

 

[lee32uk]

That Kingston SSD is cheap for a reason. I would suggest going with the Crucial BX100, Samsung 850 EVO or Kingston HyperX Savage.

 

[MooMoo444]

Six core i7 seems overkill, would you use it? Could probably get a smaller CPU and mobo and have more funds for the other parts

I think the 5820k was suggested because op said he was wanting to do video encoding.

 

[Rofflay]

I would wait for 14/16nm cards and buy a lovely setup for the 750ti. Skylake M.2 drive a 950 or intel 750 and a 6600k with 16GB of 4000mhz ram. You can get a powerhouse for £1k.

 

[Limpnoodle]

Never buy top end and never wait, you wanna be in the top 3/4 percent gpu wise

 

[sdfuk]

As i'm a casual gamer I was thinking something like a GTX 780 Ti for £275. Would this be a decent enough upgrade from my 750ti.? I'd spend the saving on a larger SSD.
Cheers S.

 

[sdfuk]

Or a GTX 970....seem to get good reviews and similar price to a 780 Ti
