Hi all is the below powerful enough for a semi future proof PC rig. I've been given the specs from a friend my budget is £1000 I an plan to play things like bf4 on ultra at 1080p with the most fps I can get


Intel Core i5 4670K Processor overclocked to up to 4.2GHz
Corsair H75 CPU Cooler
Gigabyte M5 Sniper Motherboard
Palit Jetstream NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 4GB Graphics Card
8GB PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3 Memory
1000GB SATA 7200rpm Hard Disk
Fractal Design Integral 650W PSU
Onboard High Definition Audio
Windows 8.1 64bit
 
That sounds a lot like a pre-build spec.. Are you sure your mate is building it for you?

I'd personally go for a 280X over the GTX 770.
 
I have Idea when it comes to parts he emailed me earlier with that I just copied and pasted it on here to see if it adds up an to get your thoughts
 
Without knowing what case you have it makes it a bit more difficult to spec. I'm assuming it is a MATX case going off your initial post (Sniper M5 board)


YOUR BASKET
1 x VTX3D Radeon R9 290 V2 X-Edition 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (VXR9 290 4GBD5-DHX) £319.99
1 x Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £167.99
1 x Gigabyte Z87M-D3H Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Micro ATX Motherboard £82.99
1 x Samsung 120GB SSD 840 EVO SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TE120BW) £79.99
1 x SuperFlower Golden Green HX 650W "80 Plus Gold" Power Supply - Black £79.99
1 x Microsoft Windows 8.1 64-Bit DVD - OEM (WN7-00614) £74.99
1 x Corsair Hydro H60 V2 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler £59.99
1 x TeamGroup Vulcan ORANGE 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-19200C11 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit (TLAD38G2400HC11CDC01) £55.99
1 x Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST1000DM003) HDD £43.99
1 x OcUK 20x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM £16.99
Total : £992.51 (includes shipping : £8.00).




You could drop the card down to a 280X if you wanted to save some money.
 
I wouldn't bother going for any palit card.
And gtx770 won't benefit much from that 4gb vram.
I'd rather buy a good quality r9 280x, as it was already suggested here.
Better bang for buck, definetely.
Same goes for power supply.
When it comes to power supplies its bad and sometimes costly to cut corners.
You'd do much better to ask here for a build spec. With 1000£ budget you can have a decent one.

Ps. Checked Lee's post and it looks much better than your friend's build.

Looks good, though the water cooler could be swapped for air to save money also?
 
I did a quick search on the specs it is the same parts as a pre build on a competitor site... I say mate it's a lad I knew from school I know builds pcs.

You were bang on, Doomedspeed. I've found the exact build (exact words) on a company's website and cost inc. VAT is £1000. Won't link as it's a competitor.

Strange your friend is charging the exact same price as that company for the exact same thing lol.
 
Lol, exactly - why would he charge the same price, attention perhaps? Well at least you have your answer as to whether you want it or not xD
