Gaming build Budget £700-£800.

I need a gaming build £700-£850 Max, everything. I want to be able to play the latest games at high settings. And I want specifically Intel based, as I have had bad experience with AMD. Thanks, and everything is greatly appreciated.

nJoyo · 22 Mar 2015 at 14:40

Well, I could build myself, but I don't know what the fees are if overclockers build it, but I would want to know the fee.

Its around £60 from what Ive seen mentioned before.

Thats £60 to put into the build.

Oh sure, that wouldn't be too bad then. I'm up for it. So, essentially the build will be budgeted at £800 at max.

nJoyo · 22 Mar 2015 at 14:44

And do overclockers supply coupon codes or something, cause I've noticed the prices are really high then most stores.

A 7950 which is what the R9 280 (nonX) is today.

Gaming mouse+keyboard.

£70+ under budget making it a total of £830-850ish once built.

Not that I know off, but ask customer services.

Choosing a cheap motherboard will have an effect on system itself, will I notice and lagage ect...? What's the difference from getting a mobo like Asus maximum Gene or even Hero.

The board will not effect performance at all.

More expensive boards have extra features like SLI support (also do crossfire at 8X/8X instead of 16X/4X) and more/better power circuitry to help overclock better, this Z97 board will allow you to overclock but not break any world records.

Sure, thanks do overclockers offer coupon codes or anything, and can the motherboard be improved to a btter one or even the GFX.

nJoyo · 22 Mar 2015 at 15:40

I would like to see a different build if anyone else can build one for me?

nJoyo · 22 Mar 2015 at 15:45

Just noticed that the graphics card is old, It's a used GPU. I'd want to Opt out on that. Also I have a Windows 8.1 OEM disk that I bought 2 months before on a offer.

nJoyo · 22 Mar 2015 at 16:00

Will it be able to run latest games at high or extreme settings? Like GTA 5 at max settings, Far cry, basically the heavy GPU games.

nJoyo · 22 Mar 2015 at 16:17

What about DVD/CD drive, and is possible to change the case to a different one, It does have to look good also

Why is there another CPU FAN doesn't the other package come with a CPU fan?

It comes with the normal intel one.

Is the best system that I am able to build specifically for gaming for the price, and I would prefer known brand coolers and other components just for safety.

Including, the PSU, I've never actually heard of sunflower PSU, Sorry in advance, I know I'm bound to make mistakes in this field.

Its not,

You asked for a better board, that has one of the cheapest Z87 board gigabyte sell/sold.

A cheaper case (only one fan for a start).

And if you do get free delivery (unless you live outside mainland UK) then what I did comes to £783.

I live within the UK, and I do require a decent case.

Is it possible to have options open for other case designs and better ones, and power supply unit also? But I do love the build.

Intel as you have the more modern CPU and the 280X is still fast for 1080P gaming.

Can you basket the actual build that I need to buy, and who do I need to contact for overclockers to build them the PC for me, how do I contact them?
