First build confused!

Skilzo · 4 Dec 2015 at 23:29

Hi I have been away from PC gaming and PCs really for about 10 years but since consoles are boring me now decided to get rid and build my first gaming PC. The bit I'm confused with is what I should get I have read a lot of people saying old off till next year and others saying just buy what you can so this is where I am confused I don't really have a budget in mind, what do I do buy one that will do me the now or go all out? Any help would be great thank you

Been looking at the 980ti but there's that many now it's hard to pick one

Skilzo · 5 Dec 2015 at 00:02

I've got a budget of about £1500-2000 for the PC by itself

Yeah will need everything but have a mouse, 500gb Samsung ssd, 1000w corsair psu and getting the keyboard as part of the Christmas so the monitor isn't really included in that price

I would like to do more than just gaming but that's where I'll be starting off

Is the PC to be purely for gaming and Internetting?
Will you be photo editing, 3D modelling and other jigger pokery?
Do you want to watercool it with a custom loop?
Try you hand at overclocking?
1 monitor or 2? (or 3?)

I would like to do most of this my plan is to get one monitor the now then get another at some point

At most just now I would run two gpus but would probably just leave that till next year and see what happens

Does it matter what 980ti I get? There's that many I'm not sure which one is best to go with

Quite like the look of the evga 980ti classified Waiting to find out when the corsair strafe will be back in stock it's between that or the k70

I have a 780ti classy, By god they are great cards out the box let alone with all the overclocking potential, sadly my card isn't a good clocker at all though so temps have to go through the roof to get anything decent out of it

That's it I'm getting that then thanks for the help What's the difference between the 5820k and 5930k?

Skilzo · 5 Dec 2015 at 19:47

Would the 5820k run two 980ti?

Skilzo · 5 Dec 2015 at 21:06

I've noticed the different colours of the WD storage does it matter what colour to get? Sorry for all the question my first build and I've been out the loop for so long

Skilzo · 5 Dec 2015 at 22:04

I've been trying to see if they do a full water block for the classified but doesn't look like it

Skilzo · 5 Dec 2015 at 23:24

Yeah supposedly one of them is the same but doesn't cover everything leaves the vram out

Skilzo · 5 Dec 2015 at 23:37

Yeah that's the one but supposedly it wasn't made right and instead of making a new one they are just using that one which misses out the vram or something on the car

Skilzo · 6 Dec 2015 at 00:26

Just having a look the now I've read a few threads where the guy from ek has commented on it about it but ignores when people ask about it

Skilzo · 6 Dec 2015 at 10:06

Supposedly bits power are meant to be bring out a full block so do I wait or look at another 980ti

Skilzo · 7 Dec 2015 at 12:23

Going for the 5820k I've seen the bundles but I take it if I went for a different motherboard they will be better?

Also been looking at the asus strix oc anyone have experience with it?
