£1000 Build for COD:MW

[joemc]

Hi all,

I last built a PC many moons ago and I'm now looking to start from afresh with a machine which can play COD: MW on as high graphical settings as possible.

I have a budget of £1000, in terms of brands etc. I am fully open to what is available. I'd also consider a pre-built machine.

Do you need everything or do you have peripherals, including a monitor? If so what monitor do you have (resolution, refresh rate etc)?

Note sure I'd go with a QVO - I'd have major concerns over longevity

Also, you could probably save £20 on the PSU and not lose out on anything major.

It's a place holder, I just didn't stipulate buying a sabarent rocket instead

Personally I'd take the superflower unit over anything else.

PSU prices seem to have or gone up or is that my imagination?

Just blame Brexit

A monitor isn't required as I have an AOC G2560PQU (which is 144hz). Mouse/keyboard I'll purchase when there's a sale on somewhere, the ones I have at the moment will suffice

 

[mikeyw85]

is an aftermarket cpu cooler required? stock one might do, and save a few quid.

For the sake of £30 on a £1000 build I think it’s well worth it.

Agreed I wouldn't risk such a crap unit in my rig, or anyones rig for that matter. Terrible power supply.
