I haven't designed my own PC in 3 years and looking at the components available I quickly realised I am majorly out of touch.
I bought a custom build off OC 3 years ago and it has served me well (still runs perfect only needed to change the hard drive in 3 years).
So basically, I have a budget of £2-£3k ( i've been saving up) and I really don't have time at the moment to research each part/compare. If anyone has some spare time and wouldn't mind posting a build that I could get from OCUK( I want to give them my business). I did look at the Ultima 460i Scimitar but I wasn't 100% sure it was actually worth the 3k (no blu ray, only 120gb ssd.. I could be wrong)
If anyone could post or PM me some build specs. I want it water cooled and I don't need any peripherals and I want it all from OCUK. Cheers and Hello
