Gaming PC spec

[jamman]

Just put a bundle together.

Generally play Battlefield and lesser demanding games at 1440p so obviously want to run games as best as I can.

Dont think I can stretch to an SLI system which would obviously be preferable for high resolutions.

Come up with the following, anyone have any comments/feedback ?

Are you looking at pre-built or can you build yourself ? You would get better value if you can. Also don't see the need for a separate soundcard, as most motherboards have very good on board. The Gigabyte G1 Sniper is a good example.

Can build myself but cant be arsed to be honest.

Seperate soundcard just a nice to have and like the idea of the headphone amp, will certainly take a look at that motherboard though it doesnt seem to be listed on the configurator:

Thanks Lee, may well do that if that card is recommended sound wise.
