I have ~£600 to spend I would say very max at £620. I want a build for gaming and I am not bothered on amd or intel or whatever. Just give me the best possible gaming build please.



I have posted here before requesting a gaming build but I just had my budget decreased.

No OS, monitor, mouse or keyboard is needed

Is the CPU cooler really needed? I won't be overclocking as I want to keep my warranty.

yes they will replace it as long as yoy havent gone beyond the safety voltage limits (1.45v i think?) and physically damaged the card.

Or this over budget and no dvd drive. Get a cooler at a later date.

Doesnt it, I though it does, so say if I mess up my processor when I overclockers it will intel replace it and is it the same with graphic cards.

EDIT: Is this SSD any good? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-048-OC

It is quite difficult to actually kill a CPU through overclocking if you don't exceed a ridiculous voltage. I'm running my 3570k at 4.2 GHz at 1.16v (max load) which is basically stock voltage, so absolutely no need for concern at all. I could go higher if I wanted to. CPUs have a normal lifespan in excess of 15 years, so lifespan really isn't a cause for concern. Even if it halved the lifespan it wouldn't matter as you'd have upgraded before then. Intel won't know that the CPU has been overclocked, there is no black box or anything on the chip. The only way they'll know is if there are visible burn marks (you would have to seriously overclock using liquid nitrogen to do this) or if you tell them (you'd be surprised at how many people admit this when asked by Intel).
