Hi All,

I am building a machine that I would like to play the new Rainbow 6 game on with decent graphics and speed online.

I have

SSD and 7.2k hdd
Case
Monitor and peripherals

So really all I need is graphics card, cpu, mobo and Ram with power supply

Current thinking is the below which is top end of the budget!

A little bit more with some changes.

- Changed the board and CPU to give more room in the budget to allow for;
- Much better GPU and should future proof it a bit more for you.
- RAM swap. You won't notice the speed difference.
- Better power supply, you won't need a 750w
- If you are overclocking the processor (you wanted a K version so presume you will), added a heatsink as you won't want to use the Intel stock cooler. (unless you have one already.)

Bare in mind, the heatsink and GPU will depend on your case dimensions.
