Help with PC Spec

Dr Unorthadox · 16 Nov 2012 at 12:21

Hello Guys,

I just need help in regards to a PC I am looking to build. I already have an MSI Twin Frozer graphics Card already. I am not look to get an optical drive just yet. A solid state HDD would be nice but not essential.

I have a monitor, mouse and keyboards so basically I am just looking for a Motherboard, 8gb of RAM, case and PSU and CPU. To get or this I would be looking at spending £350

The main item I am stuck on is the CPU, same old argument of Intel or AMD. I have not built a PC in a while so I am abit out of date. Has anyone got good recomendations of a build or can offer some good advice?

Thank you

Just to follow up I will be using the PC for gaming, especially games like battlefield, shogun total war 2 and doing programming and design on it.

Thanks again

"MSI Twin Frozer graphics Card" that doesnt mean a lot... Its like saying your car is Red and its a Ford... Doesnt give Idea wether its a Ka or a Mustang.

I would suggest an i5. What graphics card do you already have?
YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £184.99
1 x Gigabyte Z77-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £89.99
1 x OCZ CoreXtreme 500w '80 Plus' Power Supply £32.99
1 x Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMX8GX3M2A1600C9) £29.99
1 x OcUK Flamingo FM-12A Midi Tower Case - Black/Blue £21.98
Total : £373.44 (includes shipping : £11.25).

A bit over put includes everything you wanted. Could always drop to an i3 (still great for the price).

Wouldnt get that PSU and case. Not if the GPU is worth over £100 at least.
