Help building my 1st PC

[davewhite04]

I could buy an i7 4790K and 8GB Ram and it would perform just as good as an i7 5960X with 64GB Ram in most cases when gaming. You don't even need an i7 for a pure gaming pc.

Exactly. Most I would spend these days is £1200, and I would wait to see true Direct X 12 cards/mobo etc.

EDIT: I would buy at at least a i7 4790K now to last easy 3 years, and 16GB 1600 RAM.

 

[P.B]

for now who says pascal won't need the extra bandwidth for sli with hbm 2 or what if he want to add a couple of pci-e ssd's for storage ? its up to the op if he will use it
