Intel Build

Spankme · 20 Jul 2018 at 20:16

Hey guys

I am no Intel fan and to be completely honest i rly dunno which of the new processors go with what board.

Mate would like an intel build, 1080p gaming, so am thinking an I5.
Buget is for the tower is £800, i am putting £300 for the GPU and case.

So the buget is £500 for the full internals..

Can one of you lurvely people spek me a build please.. please make sure the board is compatable and does not need a bios update as i have no intel processors to flash the mobo

Hi

Something like this ? I included a case and GTX 1060 to make the £800 but obviously you can swap it for a different case/gpu etc.

Also 16GB Ram would be nice, but that would take it further over budget.

The cpu and board will work straight out of the box.

1 x Intel Core i5-8400 2.8GHz (Coffee Lake) Socket LGA1151 Processor - OEM= £158.99
1 x TeamGroup 240GB L5 Lite SSD 2.5" SATA 6Gbps 3D NAND Solid State Drive= £49.99

Might be an idea to also buy an extra fan if going with the P300 as it only comes with 1 rear fan pre-installed.

Sorry for the late reply guys i been at work, i was going for the p300 or the p350 so nice call on the case..

Will that i5 drop in to that B360 without a bios update?
