I used to build my own pc's about ten years ago, and now the kids are looking for gaming pc's and I thought it would be good if we could build the systems together. Unfortunately I'm 10 years behind on system design, can anybody help on what I should be looking for.
The spec's I have at the moment are I can spend about £1000 per pc and I generally prefer intel inside, and my youngest likes the bitfenix prodigy case (although is it worth waiting for the new 'M' version to come out?)
These pc's will be xmas presents (although they will be building them themselves - mean dad) so I have a little bit of time to sort the specs out.
also I've heard that NVidia are reducing the prices of their graphics cards should I wait for that?
Any help would be gratefully received
oops forgot to say I do not need any peripherals (we have monitors, keyboard mice etc)
Upto now I have the following
YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i7-4770K 3.50GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £259.99
1 x MSI GeForce GTX 760 OC Gaming Edition 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £215.99
1 x Corsair Hydro H100i High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler (CW-9060009-WW) £94.94
1 x Samsung 120GB SSD 840 EVO SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TE120BW) £86.99
1 x Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (WD1002FAEX) HDD £76.99
1 x MSI H87M-G43 Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Micro ATX Motherboard £76.99
1 x BitFenix Prodigy M MATX Cube Case - Midnight Black £74.95
Total : £900.95 (includes shipping : £11.75).
Can anybody give me some thoughts on memory especially if I want to over clock the system?
yours

P.s. they mainly play battlefield and arma with a bit of dayZ zombie action on the side
