CPU, Motherboard & Ram Build £500

Robbinz · 30 Nov 2014 at 15:07

Hi Guys.

I am looking to build a system around £500.

For the moment Graphics & HDD/SSD's are not included. They come later.

I am looking at Intel I7 4770K, MSI Z87-GD65 and Corsair Vengance Pro Ram DDR3 1886 Mhz CL9.

I really want to build it around the I7. Can anyone advise if the board and ram are ok? Any better suggestions?

Thanks

Its just a basic system for surfing and a gaming. I dont need it top top spec. The case is AvP Defender 300 and I wont be overclocking it.

Thanks for your help

That was actually my next question. I am currently running with an OCZ 520 (520W output) http://www.silentpcreview.com/article208-page1.html

The graphics card is a mince Nvidea 128MB. I will also be runnign 1 SSD and in the end 2 Raided 4TB HDD. Also an optical.

U think hte 528 will be enough?

Yes the next GFX cards are in the coming months.

I seen some converters that are supposed to work

However if need be I can just purchase a new PSU. The old one is a bit.....old anyway.

Ok thanks for removing the link.

Ok ordered the PSU. The graphics card is an nvidia-geforce-fx-5500.

Hmm maybe its not then. Im not at home at the moment so cant see in the PC. Im 90% sure its a PCI card. Maybe the 5500 is in the other even older PC.

But whatever card it is....it is old. If need be I can buy a cheap card to get me buy until the end of December when I can replace it with something more powerful.
