Anyone

Do you plan on sli in the future? If so then up the PSU to 850w, if you can might be worth going for the seasonic x series which is fully modular.

If you're looking at 780 money then unless you're in a rush to buy/a unconvertable nvidia fanboy might be worth holding off till the end of the month when amd finally release the info on the 290x, once the performance figures(confirmed not rumoured/unconfirmed leaks we've been getting) are out can make a final decision.

What do you think of this build then

I think if you are spending that much on a build, you should go for a better quality motherboard and crossfire 280x's for that super GPU power!

Stulids 'Random Orangey' build gets my vote.

I think the that's the best performance you can get from a budget of £1800 unless you want to spend £1800 and have it look absolutely crap

Guess I'll go sit in the corner and talk to myself.

Huggie86 · 19 Oct 2013 at 07:25

Damn 3 280x's epic! IMO of course I'd splash out on a bit more of an expensive case to hold all them goodies

Motherboard wise would say Asus rampage over the asrock.

Needs a better case plus the toxic version of the graphics card.

Oh and need a ssd in there somewhere, the Samsung 840 evo.

Quite you

I'm still half a sleep, have changed my reply.

Kurisu Makise · 19 Oct 2013 at 09:11

hmm

1, its a quality psu you cant get better, he wont need to worry about not having enough watts it will last for a very long time and i did spec a tri crossfire rig.
2, asus board is more expensive that asrock is just as good.
3, doesnt actually "need" a ssd, if hes more concerned about gaming rather than opening up paint in record breaking time.

i see what you mean though

1. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-016-SS&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=2465

250w less than the one you species but is platinum rated, £20 cheaper and would think more than enough for 7970/280x tri-fire.

2. The asrock is out of stock tho.

3. You can never open paint fast enough

thekhalida1 · 19 Oct 2013 at 19:59
