still 1080, but would be considered more special than whatever you currently have.

i didnt look to see if there was one lol, while i like making builds with them, people are more interested in big size machines it seems, dont think most appreciate small powerful systems.

theres probably couple more, but cant be bothered lol, but as you can see anyways, they are all crap compared to that tower i picked, plenty for OP needs, but older tech in most cases and rubbish power supplies.

 

[moorw003]

Um, why would "old tech" be better?

 

[orbitalwalsh]

 

[barryhu]

so out of these two what should i go for or can i add more to them

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk...ntel-core-i5-8600k-4.8ghz-fs-1bv-og.html#t=c;

 

[ExoMale]

both have 2400mhz ram which isnt ideal for coffeelake and the one you put i7 in has the crappy power supply, id say the 2nd one, but maybe add the i7 over the 5?

 

[barryhu]

a friend made this up what you think https://www.overclockers.co.uk/tita...md-ryzen-1600-3.80ghz-fs-1ae-og.html#t=c1d9l0 and this https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk...o2(:3bhGp2(-8bhGK2(:VbieM2$z.bjaF2_6(bkQb2@37

That list I sent you, is the same but with better components for PSU and cooler along with a 1TB SSD . For OCUK to build would prob cost the same as the one you linked above

 

[barryhu]

im terribly bad with this stuff still trying to learn so much coming in if i link any similar stuff thats just me being inexperienced with all this

[barryhu]

would prob pick the 3rd at max budget - gtx 1070 and i7 6 cores 12 threads at 4.3Ghz boost to all cores !

if cooler can take it

and then you have to add a monitor, with the gtx 1070 -

[barryhu]

would highly recommend the above monitor if yours is not 1080p 144hz for gtx 1070- if its a stand 1080p- then i5 8400 and gtx 1060 will be fine

 

[barryhu]

so im using 60hz 1080p but i might aswell push the budget and then get a new monitor in the future?

To be honest , just go i7 8700 NON K and gtx 1060. This way chip will last you a good few year 4/5 and GPU will be every to if you get into gaming solidly .

 

[barryhu]

im already into gaming solidly but ok ill do some thinking thanks for the help apreciate it a lot

I5 8400 is a solid gaming chip - few years time chuck in i7 8700k second hand . Gtx 1070 should drive that 1080p t ultra 100fps
And there is a big difference at gaming 100fps+ over standard 60hz

VA MSI panel is on sale, about £30 more.. visually, the colours is worth it and view angle

Also don't have to worry about the cooler so much, SSD is 250gb... Might be worth asking OCUK how much it would be to use 480GB Team Group SSD, think it's like £30 more then Samsung 250gb but it's not o the options

If not, and very important , if you stick with screen above and don't push bigger SSD... Ask them to upgrade that PSU. Formula 550w unit !​
