Haswell spec for £1000

[Spikey]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a Haswell spec for around £1000 give or take for gaming. I do not need an OS as I've got Windows 7 and I do not need a screen! Thanks.

Thanks. Is there any issue with only 2GB VRAM on the 770?

 

[Fire_fly]

Depends on what resolution you play at.

At 1920 x 1080 it should be fine unless you are running games with lots of badly coded graphical mods.

If you are still concerned then swap it out for a 7970 GHz, they are about the same price and performance.

 

[Spikey]

I was thinking of this as my final spec. Any thoughts?

 

[Anarch]

Looks good to me - You sure that you need 4770K ? 4670K is quite a bit cheaper and you shouldn't see much of a difference in most games.

Thanks I may just go for the 4670K.
