8Pack APPROVED! SUPER fast SUPER STRONG sub £285 Skylake 4.5ghz Overclocked Gaming Bundle

Here we have some gaming benchmarks of this bundle running Sleeping Dogs, Bioshock Infinite and Crysis 3. All maxed out @ 1080p on 980 Ti GPU. I chose the 980 Ti so as to remove the performance limitation away from the GPU and into the CPU and supporting system.

Sleeping Dogs


Bioshock Infinite


Crysis 3


So we can see even Crysis 3 has enough CPU and memory power from this bundle to run it very well indeed.

What PSU do you recommend for this? This is my last question. The i3 power draw is low, but what would be good enough if in say 5-6 months I wanted an i7, or maybe 2 gfx cards, for example.
I'm thinking 700-800w?
 
A quality 800w will run i7 and two 970 or so no issues at all. 980ti x2 plus i7 I would say slightly more like 900 to make sure that your fully covered.

I like to be on high side with PSU required as u don't want instability from this and a good PSU can be used for several builds.
 
I got a bit carried away there. I remember that 1080p is all I need. And i3 with good GPU will do this.
So 650-750w will do it.
However the high quality ones aren't so easy to distinguish here. Don't wanna low quality. So had to check what u use, superflower it is. Sadly the ones i want were out of stock.
So I just gonna order it and think of something later, before its sold out, forever

When is the laptop range out btw?

If none of the SuperFlower ones are in stock have a look at the EVGA ones like the g2 or p2 they're SuperFlower built and have 7-10 year warranties.
 
managed to get a evga SuperNova G2 750W
hopefully get a chance to put it all together tomorrow, then i'll see how high this goes


if anyone was in the same/similar boat as me, with a phenomII x6, it just won't die..
i'll report back with some bench results
