Any changes to this prebuilt?

[HEIS3NB3RG]

The R9 290x will be a R9 290 bringing the build to £1280.

Comes with 2 x 4 Ruby Vouchers and BF4 with China Rising.

Opinions?

I don't know to what extent you can change pre-built rigs but ill tell you what i'd do (if it wasn't a pre-built)

Only get 8GB of RAM, 16GB is too much for Gaming, 8GB will be fine.

Get the 8320 instead of the 8350, cheaper and basically the same chip.

Get a different cooler, either the H80i or Tundra (240mm version, while its £85)

A 750w/850W PSU for Xfire later on.

Switch the case for something with better airflow, maybe a Ronin (if they ever re-appear)

Could you do me a build on the OC system builder mate? I unfortunately wouldn't feel confident building it myself nor expect someone to come and build it for me, I have no problem paying the extra money to OC and getting a 2 year warranty!

 

[HEIS3NB3RG]

ok let me knock something up on OC builder. Whats the maximum budget?

Somewhere very close to £1300! Think the 4770k always comes to around £1300+ with a decent GPU

Spending £1300 and getting a 280x seems a bit ludicrous to me, surely sacrificing a custom cooled 290 for a 280x is where the AMD build is miles ahead.

Why not build it yourself, lots of enjoyment doing it yourself, plus you learn and know the ins and outs of your machine.

Currently trying to find out what charge OC actually have when building a system.

 

[HEIS3NB3RG]

They replied saying it depends on the cost of components.

So could someone please spec me a system for £1200 and I will send it to them and get it priced up!

Thanks
