Yeah, found that one, so, I might be able to get a student edition of windows, as I'm a student, and i already have a monitor, so i can take off £170 straight away from the first combo. should be able to do it for about £370?

Sounds good!

Could always throw an SSD in there....

In that case what about this, better Gpu and a Z77 mobo so you could upgrade to an i5 at a later date.

I prefer your first setup, all of the first one is compatible I presume?

Yes. The only addition here is the SSD & Optical drive. SSD will improve boot times & loading times in games as well as general tasks.

mertin1995 · 17 Feb 2013 at 19:05

Yeah, but it is also considerably more expensive, i think i will stick with the sata

Idleman · 17 Feb 2013 at 19:08

You do realise with the 5700 and the A55 mobo, that you cannot OC, so makes the 7000C11 2133MHz redundent, may as well get 1600 ram.
For the extra few quid the 5800K and A75 board is better value.

mertin1995 · 17 Feb 2013 at 19:14

But since I havent the first clue about overclocking, I dont intend to do it?

mertin1995 · 17 Feb 2013 at 19:16

And 1600 ram would be cheaper, and do the same job? since i cant overclock?

mertin1995 · 17 Feb 2013 at 19:19

Yeah, the £500 was the top end of the budget, id rather not spend that much if its possible, I think the first sounds pretty good, as I can add an extra graphics card, if necessary. The AMD is also better than an I3 and i cant really afford an i5

It`s not that difficult. Have read through the guide in the link.

You wouldn't need to overclock it. I purposely included the non-k version and the board supports the 2133 to get the best out the APU, even if the mem controller is 1866. The price difference is nothing!!!

mertin1995 · 17 Feb 2013 at 19:24

But would I still need the higher ram, would the 1600 do the same job?

mertin1995 · 17 Feb 2013 at 19:25

Never mind, just read it properly, the ram gets the best from the APU

mertin1995 · 17 Feb 2013 at 21:04

So you would recommend the first rig then?
