Thanks for the advice, I forgot about OS and my monitor only has one VGA. Will I have to get a VGA to DVI connector?

Gaming, editing, uploading ect.

MarkJr · 22 Apr 2013 at 23:22

Update: added 7950's instead of 7970's.

MarkJr · 22 Apr 2013 at 23:42

Thanks, I was wondering that also.

Guys, I'm trying really hard to make this pretty cheap, I already got a monitor, I already got a keyboard, mouse, OS in another hard drive, I'm fine for all that!

MarkJr · 22 Apr 2013 at 23:51

Is Windows 8 easy to use?

MarkJr · 22 Apr 2013 at 23:58

I do like these builds, but somehow I have made mine cheaper, I don't care about a monitor and I'm pretty sure I'll stick with what I've got. I could just grab another monitor for Christmas couldn't I?

MarkJr · 23 Apr 2013 at 00:12

Check the update guys.

MarkJr · 23 Apr 2013 at 00:17

I don't really see too much point in a SSD, I don't want to load things faster or startup faster, not too bothered about that.

MarkJr · 23 Apr 2013 at 00:20

Because it's......RED. Jk, I quite like Asus products, I might change it, I dunno, lemme have a quick look.

MarkJr · 23 Apr 2013 at 00:26

Gigabyte G1 Sniper M3 any good?

Nah, I'm good Petey, I don't wanna watercool.

MarkJr · 23 Apr 2013 at 00:48

Maybe, I'm on the verge of it. Will Haswell, be good performance for cheaper than 1155?

MarkJr · 23 Apr 2013 at 00:52

I guess so, Haswell rumors were spreading around roughly January I heard, I have a feeling Intel will try to give you the best power for your money with Haswell..

MarkJr · 23 Apr 2013 at 00:59

Heh, got a day off tomorrow. YIPEE. Well, a day off my paper round.

MarkJr · 23 Apr 2013 at 01:06

G'night.

But a fine high-end system like this would be wasted on a VGA monitor. You should DEFINITELY get a decent monitor, since that's what you would be really starring at day in day out.

If in doubt, make a poll and explain your situation and see how people vote. With the power of the system, it would be ideal to get something like a 120Hz monitor.

I added a monitor did you not see my friend?

MarkJr · 23 Apr 2013 at 23:14

Guys, can you see if there is some nice black cheap-ish RAM 16GB 4x4GB and could I use a 750Watt PSU on this thing?
