Ello,

I've currently got a OCUK system which I got when I first moved into the house 3 years ago, was the first thing I purchased after buying the house! Priority's!

I'm looking to buy a new tower to replace the beast that was my old PC. I want to stick with OCUK as the warranty is good, the last system was very good, and I just like that piece of mind knowing I won't have to put everything together myself & end up breaking something as I normally do.

I've got a budget of a maximum £2400 with VAT included.

After a couple of weeks surfing through the OCUK website, It's getting to that time where I don't want to wait anymore and want to get something ordered. Below is one I've dug out & changed a few things around (The original link at bottom). I want to stick with Nvidia, and I'd like to give Intel a go as the old machine was an AMD.

Here it is:

- Case: Corsair Obsidian 750D Midi Tower Gaming Case - Black
- Power Supply: Corsair RM Series 750W PSU
- CPU: Intel Core i7 4770K 3.50GHz Haswell Processor overclocked to 4.4GHz
- Motherboard: Gigabyte G1 Sniper Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard
- Cooler: Corsair H100i CPU Water Cooler
- RAM: 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 2133MHz Dual Channel Kit
- Hard Drive 1: 1TB 840 Evo Series SSD
- Hard Drive 2: 2TB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM HDD
- Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 780Ti 3072MB
- Sound: High Definition 7.1 Onboard Sound Card
- Optical Drive: Standard 24x DVD-RW Black

Also included in this is Fast track build 2 working days (Can't wait, big kid :D), 36 month warranty, Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. (Gone for a build to order from OCUK)

Total cost (Without the VAT as I will get this back) £1937.46.
With the VAT £2324.95.

Another thing I was toying with was swapping the 780Ti for 2x 770 4096MB gards... But I'm not entirely sure on what's best. The cost is £50 more for the 2 cards rather than the 780Ti card. What'ya think?
*Edit* - Ideally I want to add a third monitor in very soon too, all 3 will be used to run games (max?) resolution.

Also, if anyone has any advice / recommendations I'm all ears.
