[stulid]

If you wanted Nvidia then a GTX780 which is £215.99 will eat all games@1080P and still keep you in budget.

Very nice indeed.

I think I'll go with this, can I upgrade the GPU to the 970? I've been on the internet all day and seem to be getting somewhere and I like the looks of this!

 

[Rorytymon]

Also that tower is ugly is there a better looking one anywhere? I guess that means changing the cooler too though

 

[stulid]

You go look at all the cases that you like and can afford then we can tell you if it fits and is any good.

Maybe start with looking at a Corsair 200r

A GTX970 can be put in, but at 1080P res a 780 or 290 will never struggle to run a game.

This one seems nice maybe a bit to brash though? What's your opinion?
I was thinking about upgrading the graphics now for the extra bit of money instead of upgrading possibly within a year or so, that's my train of though it might not make sense though lol

 

[stulid]

Yep.

That will work and includes 4 fans as standard.

 

[Rorytymon]

Cool, do you think then I don't need the added cooling bit?

 

[stulid]

The rajintek heatsink will still fit and means you don't have to use the horrible little Intel stock heatsink.

 

[Rorytymon]

Thanks for all the help, im99% sure I'll get this! would you get this? With my case and my GPU

 

[stulid]

I would still consider the 290/780 for 1080P if I wanted to save money.

 

[Rorytymon]

Hi guys just about to start ordering, is anyone else got any last minute deviations from what we've decided

 

[Rorytymon]

Sorry mate I didn't see your reply on my stupid ipaD lol thanks for all your help is there any guide to help me build the PC when it comes? Do I need screws or anything like that glue?

 

[stulid]

You need nothing else.

The board comes with SATA cables
The cooler comes with thermal paste
Your PSU has the power cables.

There are lots of PC building guides on youtube,

if you don't want to build it yourself, ocuk charges ~£60 to build your custom spec. post in the customer services section along with your buildspec.

To build all you need is a screwdriver and some patience... Its fun once its up and running..
