Hello guys!
After putting up with Xbox 360 for the last 5 years and now Xbox One with no strategy or MMORPG on horizon I want to go back to PC gaming again.
I have put together a spec as per below:
YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £173.99
1 x Crucial M500 240GB SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive - (CT240M500SSD1) £87.98
1 x Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-Bit - OEM (GFC-02733) £73.99
1 x Gigabyte Z97P-D3 Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £69.95
1 x TeamGroup Vulcan GOLD 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-17100C11 2133MHz Dual Channel Kit (TLYD38G2133HC11ADC01) £59.99
1 x SuperFlower Golden Green HX 550W "80 Plus Gold" Power Supply - Black £55.99
1 x Zalman Z3-Plus Midi-Tower - Black £39.95
1 x OcUK 22x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM £10.99
Total : £582.43 (includes shipping : £8.00).
I need advice on what GPU to get and is there something else I could swap MB with, as the current one is out of stock? I would love to have some sort of future upgradeabilty, nothing fancy tho. All other Z97's seem to be around £100 mark and do I even need Z97?
Could I scrimp on cheaper case and cheaper PSU? I would like to keep everything under £700 if possible and proffered GPU brand is NVIDIA but if AMD withing same price that does better I would be happy with AMD.
Many Thanks
