£1500 Gaming PC.

[Firefox201]

Hello fellow PC Enthusiasts,

I was hoping to get your input regarding the following build. Do you think there's a better compilation of PC components? The PC will solely be used for gaming. I've no interest in looks, only performance.

In summary, I require, OS, Monitor, Mouse and Base Unit for the sum of £1,500.00 Max £1,600.00.

Any advice is appreciated.

On a side note, how much does it cost for an Overclockers operative to build the PC below? Is there a standard charge or an option when you go through the purchasing system?


Kind Regards,

Fox

Hi Stulid,

I appreciate your quick response.

Is there a better airflow case out there? I choose the NZHT case due to the reviews, but further posts suggest corsair provide better cases? It also means I don't have to buy an external DVD ROM. I see you also went for an water/air cooler, have air coolers fallen off the map of late?

Regards,

Fox.

Thanks Stulid,

Could you recommend a suitable RAM brand if I were to go ahead with the Prolimatech Genesis?

So you think its best to swap out the current case for the 540, drop down to 970 and pick-up the better monitor? Is the current monitor I initially outlined not suffice for gaming 1080p?

Forgot to mention I choose the GPU for the keyboard. Thanks for the advice guess, I'll be making my decision tomorrow regarding which system to go with.

Again, many thanks. + Rep.
