My Custom PC Build - Help

FizzyC15 · 17 Jun 2013 at 01:09

Hey,

I want to build my own PC and this will be my first time. I want to know if this hardware will work together and if I'm missing anything.

BitFenix Prodigy Mini-ITX (White) - £73
Seagate 750GB Momentus XT Serial - £76
ASRock B75M-ITX Motherboard - £66
Crucial BLS8G3D1609DS1S00CEU (8GB RAM) - £48
Intel 3rd Generation Core i5-3570K CPU - £163
LG GH24NS90.AUAA50B 24x (DVD-RW) - £12
Thermaltake PSU SMART 530W/80plus - £49
VTX3D AMD Radeon HD7750 - £70
Intel RTS2011LC - £70

Lastly, I'm not a huge gamer, I just want to be able to play Rome Total War 2 (so not high end like battlefield etc). Overall, I just want the system to be quick and quite.

I'm too tired to offer good advice right now bud, so i'll save it til' i'm awake. But you should remove the competitor name as it is against the forum rules to mention competitors. (to be expected really as this forum belongs to Overclockers UK who are a massive online seller of PC parts.)

You can leave the prices, just state that some are taken from elsewhere and don't specify where.

Would suck to receive a burning from moderators over your first post

Please remove the name of the competitor in your OP

OK, what is your budget?

FizzyC15 · 17 Jun 2013 at 12:06

I'd say my budget is £600. :cool:

How about this ?

YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail with FREE Grid 2 PC Game £191.99
1 x Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 WindForce 2X 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £149.99
1 x MSI Z87-G43 Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard - FREE Alpenfohn Civetta Cooler!! £95.99
1 x Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache WD10EZEX - OEM ** Single Platter ** HDD £52.99
1 x Thermaltake Smart Series 530w Modular '80Plus Bronze' Power Supply £49.99
1 x Avexir MPower Yellow Series 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Memory Kit (AVD3U16000904G-2CM) £47.99
1 x Xigmatek Asgard Pro Gaming Case - Black £32.99
Total : £636.02 (includes shipping : £11.75).

Ok so its not ITX but your get a cooler out of the box that will keep the CPU cooler then the stock one (thats means some limited overclocking).

The GTX660 is a massive inprovement over the HD 7750
