Hi guys,

So Im looking at building a new PC which I will be using mainly for gaming and movie watching.
Im going to be using the OC's system configuration, I have a budget of around £1300 give or take a little if its worth the money.

Here is what I had in mind, would really appreciated any advice or recommended alterations. Just a little scared of any potential bottlenecks as well.

- Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
- Corsair RM Series RM 750
- OcUK 20x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM
- Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB
- Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 WindForce 3x OC 3072MB GDDR5
- Corsair Vengeance Pro Blue 8GB
- Gigabyte Z87X-UD4H
- Akasa AK-CC4013EP01 Nero 3 V2 Premier CPU Cooler
- Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell)
- NZXT Phantom 410 Enthusiast Midi Tower Case - Gun Metal


Thanks for your help in advance!

Not much wrong with that spec - the only thing I would say is that you've gone for a high-end motherboard and a low-end CPU cooler. So a motherboard that will handle a high overclock but a CPU cooler that won't. Unless you specifically want the features the UD4H comes with, I'd recommend a cheaper motherboard - something like the MSI Z87-G45 Gaming. You may be better off looking at the pre-built options, though. For example:

YOUR BASKET
1 x "Titan Tanto" Intel Core i5 4670K @ 4.2GHz Overclocked Nvidia GeForce Gaming PC £283
1 x No Sound Card Upgrade £0
1 x MSI Geforce GTX 780 Gaming Edition OC 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £379.99
1 x Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST1000DM003) HDD £43.99
1 x Samsung 120GB SSD 840 EVO SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TE120BW) £71.99
1 x TeamGroup Vulcan GOLD 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-17100C11 2133MHz Dual Channel Kit (TLYD38G2133HC11ADC01) £67.99
1 x Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - OEM £169.99
1 x NZXT Phantom 530 Full Tower Gaming Case - Red £104.99
1 x Microsoft Windows 8.1 64-Bit DVD - OEM (WN7-00614) £74.99
1 x 24 MONTH WARRANTY - COLLECT & RETURN £0.01
1 x Standard Build Systems - Dispatched within 7 working days £0
Total : £1,211.94 (includes shipping : £12.50).



This is overclocked for you and you get an SSD for £100 under budget.

You can ask customer service to change the colour of the case...
