Gaming PC Spec

[fatpies]

Hi,

I'm wanting to build a new gaming pc as mine is getting on now.

I have a budget of £1500 but could go over that if needed. I basically need everything except for a monitor/keyboard/mouse.

I have a 1080p monitor currently but could upgrade to 1440p in the future so a graphics card that can handle this would be good (pref a 980ti). Also need a SSD and a copy of windows.

Any help would be appreciated as I haven't been keeping that up to date with what's good and what isn't.

Thanks

This might be a bit overkill but this is what I've come up with...

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x DEFCON 2x - MSI X99A SLI Krait - Configurable Overclocked Haswell-E Bundle = £771.77
  • Memory:Kingston Fury Black 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4 PC4-19200C15 2400MHz Quad Channel Kit - Black (HX424C15FBK4/16
  • CPU Cooler:Asetek 570LX 240mm High Performance CPU Cooler - 2011
  • Processor:Intel i7-5820K 3.30GHz (Haswell-E) Socket LGA2011-V3 Processor - OEM (CM8064801548435)
• 1 x EVGA GeForce GTX 980Ti Classified 6144MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (06G-P4-4998-KR)= £599.99
• 1 x Samsung 500GB 850 EVO SSD 2.5" SATA 6Gbps 32 Layer 3D V-NAND Solid State Drive (MZ-75E500B/EU)= £139.99
• 1 x Corsair Builder Series CX 750W Modular '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply (CP-9020061-UK)= £76.99

Total: £1,813.42
(includes shipping: £14.70)
​

Is there anything I should change?

Yup, change the PSU. That Corsair is made by CWT, an average OEM. Either of the ones below are excellent quality, modular and will easily power what you're after.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x EVGA Supernova GS 650W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply= £79.99
• 1 x Super Flower Golden Green HX 750W "80 Plus Gold" Semi-Modular Power Supply - Black= £80.99
• 1 x Super Flower Leadex GOLD 650W Fully Modular "80 Plus Gold" Power Supply - Black= £87.95

Total: £260.63
(includes shipping: £11.70)

Alright, I will change it to one of those. Thanks for the advice.

Which games are you going to play? What do you have now?

 

[fatpies]

BF4/Witcher 3/Arma 3 and any new games coming out this year

 

[fatpies]

I have an AMD 8350 & an R9 290. Finding the 290 to overheat too much and it's just struggling on some games on High/Ultra
