Advice for a build?

huw p jones · 27 Aug 2013 at 10:27

I'm looking at a new build price about £600 to £800. I want the Intel Core i5-4670 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor. The KFA2 GeForce GTX 670 EX OC 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card. I would like about 16GB of ram and about a 100GB SSD for my primary drive. Any help on other components and any suggestions on what brand of ram i should get would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hi and welcome.

Is it just the tower you need?

This is a gaming PC right?

Hows that look?

• Motherboard - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18518312
• PSU is made by Seasonic!!
• Fast RAM for the price, you don't need 16GB for gaming

Just add a aftermarket heatsink later on when funds allow
