Hello Folks,

looking for some guidance on my basket.


ive chosen a z77 board as i can then upgrade the cpu in the future and overclock it.

i dont need HDD's, optical or OS as i have them already.

ive added a game as i will need something to play and a keyboard. the mouse i am buying elsewhere due to having vouchers.

im really looking to make the build cheaper if at all possible.

You'll need the normal D3H board if you want to overclock, the S version is a basic version of that.

I have the ADATA RAM and personally couldn't reccomend it, had 1 faulty stick (luck of the draw) but XMP profiles did not work and required higher voltage to run at stock speed.

Thanks,

there is 2 of these
Gigabyte Z77M-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Micro ATX Motherboard
in the B grade section, what is likely to be missing from them? i dont want to be without any key cables or anything meaning i cant build on delivery.

they are £75 each so the same price and not the S version.

also would this ram be any good?

so not too bad, i get free delivery too.
 
cool, think ill go with the 500w just to make it a little more future proof. i have specced a B grade monitor to bring price down.

Overall though does it looks like a decent enough system?

im making the switch from console so this will be my first "real" gaming pc, used to be a pc guy back in the call of duty 1 days.
 
 
 
the original plan was to go z77 and I3 and then later upgrade to the 3470k (hoping they would reduce in price upon haswell release)

my budget was quickly escalating so went B75 as a budget interim choice.

the ram i was lucky with, i nearly bought all this yesterday but was sure id read somewhere that the weekly deals start on a weds so waited until today (nothing in my basket was on any sort of deal so wasnt going to increase in price)
when i seen the sammy ram i clicked buy.

thanks to all the help guys, will post up a build log.
