I'm staying away from Intel as I prefer AMD :)

If I bought all from OcUK it would come to around £870 and that's without a couple of things and before it was £850 from 2 places ;P

Untitled-46.png


one of the best 24" monitors.

crossfire capable motherboard.

psu with plenty of power and psu connectors for two graphics cards.

better gaming keyboard and mouse.


EDIT!!!! its actually £838 with free shipping!!!!!


you dont need a sound card either, especially not a crap one like that.

Looks nice, the monitor I was looking at was the 21.5" BenQ LED Monitor, What's the benefit of that PSU over the one I've chosen?

Also what's the difference between the Mobo I've chosen and the one you've chosen?

The psu is made by Seasonic, one of the best psu makers out there, and has two 6pin pci-e and two 6+2pin pci-e connectors.

The motherboard only differs by having 8X/8X instead of 16X/16X speed for the pci-e slots when two cards are inserted, both motherboards run the one slot at 16X speed when only one graphics card is in use.

and there is a onboard gpu if you ever needed to sell or send back the graphics card, which will keep your pc in use in the mean time.

that monitor is pants when your spending £850.

surely you can see this?

and the corsair ram is expensive for zero performance gain.

what have you added sata cables for? you only have two drives.

and fans too? not needed.

I thought LED was better than LCD that's why I have chosen it,

Also with the RAM I've had OCZ before and it's failed on me whether that was faulty sticks or not I don't know
