Morning all,
A friend of mine has recently procured himself a job and is now very interested in making his PC shall we say, more "relevant".
He has been compiling a list of bits and pieces so you can get a good idea of what he is going for really. Please see the list below (I have removed the links of where he is going to buy them from because I hope you nice folks here can come back with a better kit from this very site).
PROCESSOR: Intel Core i5 4690K S1150, Haswell, 4 Core, 3.5GHz, 3.9GHz Turbo, 5 GT/s DMI, 1.2GHz GPU, 34x Ratio, 84W,
MOTHERBOARD: Asus Z97-P Intel Z97 Motherboard, S1150, DDR3, PCIe 3.0 (x16), M.2, D-Sub (VGA) DVI-D HDMI, ATX
GPU: 4GB MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G Twin Frozr 5, 7010MHz GDDR5, GPU 1140MHz, Boost 1279MHz, 1664 Cores, 1x DP, 2x DVI, 1x HDMI
Storage: 500GB Crucial BX100, 2.5" SATA III (6Gbps) Internal SSD, 7mm Slim, Read 535MB/s, Write 450MB/s, 90k IOPS, 70k IOPS Max
RAM: 8GB (2x4GB) Corsair Vengeance Blue DDR3 PC3-12800(1600), Non-ECC Unbuffered, CAS 9-9-9-24, XMP, 1.5V
DVD Drive: Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE 24x DVD±R, 8x DVD±DL, DVD+RW x8/-RW x6, x12 RAM Dual Layer SATA BLACK OEM
PSU: 700W Silverstone Strider SST-ST70F-ES, 80% Eff', 80 PLUS, SLI/CrossFire, EPS 12V, 12cm Silent Fan, ATX v2.3, PSU
CASE: Sharkoon T9 Value Red Edition Mid Tower Case inc Front USB 3.0/Audio & Cable Management w/o PSU
MONITOR: 27" AOC E2752VQ LED DisplayPort/HDMI/DVI/VGA/ 1920x1080, 300cd/m², 20M:1 2ms, Speakers 4 Port USB
CURRENT TOTAL: £1037.37
Hopefully from that you can get a sense of what sort of kit it is he is going for (my first suggestion was to maybe opt for a slightly smaller SSD then throw in a normal HDD I don't know if you will agree). I know he can get a better machine/deal from Overclockers so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Tony Tank
