Thanks in advance for taking the time.
For a family member and will be helping them order.
We were working on this for a while before, however a change in budget (previously sub-£900) meant a bit more wiggle room (albeit starting over somewhat)
Have donated an SSD (120gb) with clean windows 7 home preloaded + Box, an optical combi drive (internal) and peripherals are also covered.
Aiming for something they won't have to worry about upgrading for 2-3 years or mess about with aside from occasionly changing the fan filters
So they are after ;
ATX Case (mid to small, air) preferbly with room for optical drive
Board + cpu + decent cooler
Games/Storage drive - will be buying large SSD at later date
NVIDIA 970/r9 390 - no inclination towards either of them otherwise, both are adequate
650+ PSU of good quality/efficiency should be fine
Based on current availability ;
YOUR BASKET
EPIC BUNDLE: Intel 4790K, Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 7, Kingston 16GB 2400MHz Kit and Superflower 750W PSU **£50 SAVING** £545.93
OcUK Tech Labs - Prolimatech Megahalems Rev.C "Power Edition" £49.64
Fractal Design Define R5 Midi Tower Case - Black Window £88.99
MSI Radeon R9 390 Gaming Edition 819 £289.99
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM £64.99
Total £1,039.55
ideas welcome... especially with the case as suspect could go a bit smaller without making it feel cramped, bearing in mind gpu/cpu cooler dimension
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM if they come back in stock soon
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 G1 Gaming 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card if opting for seperate cpu, board, psu than bundle (550w-650w)
