£1500 nvidia/Intel gaming build
- Thread starter NotSponge
- Start date
I'd use the spec tool thing but don't have it installed (if someone could link me please?)
MSI 980 GTX would be the card to use though no doubt.
i7-4790k bundle
16GB RAM
650/750W PSU I'd imagine - 750 for sure if you're thinking of going SLI in the future.
Just a base but meh, apologies for being not much help lol

Just something I knocked up quickly:
YOUR BASKET
1 x EPIC BUNDLE: Intel 4790K, Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 7, Kingston 16GB 2400MHz Kit, Superflower 750W PSU & FREE STUFF!! **£50 SAVING** £570.97

Total : £1,490.89 (includes shipping : £8.00).
You can move the supplied rear 120mm fan in the 450D to the bottom, then put the H80i in the rear fan slot, replacing the stock fans with the 2 SP120's, and I put in a dual pack of AF120's to put in the top of the case (using the red rings supplied in line with the specified theme). If you don't want the H80i you could save a few quid and get a big air cooler, but this would look pretty clean IMO.
This is provided you need an OS. Also specced in stock Bitfenix braided cables (bar the 8 PIN EPS12V, that's 'due soon').

The MSI card is powered by 2 x 8 pin pci-e so you would need to swap out that 6 pin cable for another 8 pin one.

Gah - yes of course. I originally specced a 970 and a different CPU/Mobo bundle; I changed my mind and put a 980 in there and forgot to change the cables. Apologies.

If he's at college, he'll get it cheaper:
Save yourself some money, no point in paying 200 pounds for such a small gain over 970.
