Hello.

So, after much research and saving etc etc.. the time for purchase is soon upon us.

The basics I am after, if poss, include.. GTX 980, i7 Intel, OS and a full size case.

So far I have got to...

With the 980 and Windows 8.1 at £1656.

or

with i7, 980, 16GB, 250 SSD, 2TB and Windows 8.1 at £1404

Question is, can anyone spec any better (build needed) or am I on the right track with my selections? No need for monitor or keyboard etc.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome.

Is this a PC for you to build or pre-built?

Maybe able to give you a custom spec and get OcUK (for a fee) or someone you may know to build it?

What do you want this for? just gaming?

Wow quick replys.

Yup, just for gaming. Want the 980 for a touch of future-proofing. Would need it built as I am not trusted to do it but would love to do it!

RJC is on right track.. forgot about watercooled in an ideal world. Would the warranty come together as built by OC or would individual parts have own warranty?

Thanks for the help crew and the kind welcome

That pretty much what I would have suggested apart from the 850W G2 PSU and the H105 cooler.

I am not sure on warranty and thats something you will have to discuss with customer services, the fee to build is around £60.

Appreciate the effort. I feel like I was onto something but its good to have options from experienced folk.

I will speak to customer services before I do anything, I hear they have a good rep.

Ill run these by the bank manager (wife) and hopefully should be up and running soon.

Cheers again
