Gaming Rig £750 (ish)

[Ilandka]

Hi,

Pretty new to the PC gaming community....Think the last PC I had came Win98 and about 64meg of RAM...

Looking at spending around £700 - £750. Operating system, monitor etc not included in this price.

Price for the kit below just comes shy of £800 with delivery.

What do you think as a gaming rig...Pretty sure you can better it.

Cheers

Ian

Welcome,

This is what i'd do..

YOUR BASKET
1 x HIS HD 7950 IceQ BOOST 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (H795QC3G2M) **Voltage Unlocked** £187.99
1 x Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £185.99
1 x Samsung 250GB SSD 840 EVO SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TE250BW) £145.99
1 x **B Grade** Gigabyte Z77-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £60
1 x BitFenix Shinobi USB3.0 Gaming Case - Black £49.99
1 x TeamGroup Elite Black 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (TED38GM1600HC11DC01) £47.99
1 x OCZ ZS Series 550W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £43.99
1 x Silverstone Argon SST-AR01 CPU Cooler - 120mm £28.99
Total : £765.94 (includes shipping : £12.50).




Sticking with intel, Got a k series (overclockable) CPU, though the motherboard is b grade. This means it was an ex-display or a return, though it is working (otherwise they'd be breaking the law selling it), a great bargain, as it is the best budget Z77 motherboard.

The 7950 is the run-away winning at this price point at the moment.

Also a very good spec and in budget too.
