Advice needed on a new PC

SiDeards73 · 28 Jul 2011 at 14:15

Hi Guys

Im after building a new PC, my old ones beginning to show its age so i think its time i built something new.

Im looking at spending around £1000 at the max i guess, options i'd like are

SSD - 80g would do
8GB of Ram
i5 2300k Intel CPU

The machine will mostly be used for playing MMO's (Rift mostly) and some FPS Shooter games.

The things i actually need to buy are

CPU (i5 2300k)
Mobo
Ram (8Gb preferred)
Gfx Card
HD (SSD 80gb+)
PSU
Case

Any suggestions? Obviously the cheaper the better in all honesty, as it means i dont have to wait aslong to buy it

Thanks all

Si

wow, what has happened to the formatting there stulid? are you catering to those who are browsing on their phones or something?

build looks great. i'd have gone with the 128GB crucial real SSD M4 though

That is from phone, took along time to copy and paste.

Optical drive needed?

pecnarf · 28 Jul 2011 at 15:01

well if you need a Optical drive i suggest the "LG BH10LS30 10x BluRay-RW / 16 x DVD±RW Drive - Black" as it will play 3d movie as well as burn blu-ray/dvd/cd
