Need feedback on my chosen PC

Temp.sgk · 24 Jun 2013 at 22:14

Just pointing out that I am new to all these kind of stuff, I'm not really tech savvy. I also have absolutely no clue how to dismantle my PC and overclock etc, if that isn't embarrasing enough

At the moment, I want to buy a prebuilt PC that can run anything on very high settings (e.g planetside2, arma2, newer titles). I have chosen this

For graphics card I have chosen the KFA2 Geforce GTX 660 2048mb GDDR5 simply because I think its good and I kind of understand nvidia.
The rest, I chose windows 8, segate 1TB hard drive,, 5.1 sound card, windows 8. I also chose a Bitfenix Shinobi USB3.0 Case because I think there won't be any LED lights and maybe the fan won't be too loud? 0_0 To sum it up, it cost a total of 850 pounds including vat.

So Uhmm is my choice good? My choice is also because I want a PC that can last 5 years.
(I created this topic so I hope I don't have any doubts when I purchase, because 850 pounds is quite a lot)

This is the link, if anyone didn't read properly. Its big and clear now. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-247-OE

Really? But still can play on at least ultra high? or just high settings? What is usually the frames per seconds would be good.
Just to clarify again, I want to know if spending 850 pounds for this system is a bargain or is there other options for it to be cheaper but even better. Or am I being naive and saying this system should play everything on high.

Oh yeah, if its solid that's good to hear. About your rough guide, is your specs very similar to the specs in my link? Also At the moment busy reseaching on many other deals available, researching which card, cpu chip is best.

I chose intel because I think intel its at a better price, anyway still researching. Also about overclocking because I never understood overclocking before.

True, I'm doing a lot of research and the link Acme gave me really makes it so much easier to compare stuff. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/783?vs=856

yeah I added a soundcard, but why I don't need that? Explain please. Anything helps.

edit: Also I did have the link in originally, I just made it more noticeable. So people who didn't read properly can easily see it.

So I finally finalised my choice. I'm going with what I originally chosen, but chose the cooler master- lite dominator case because of good cooling for price ratio and ditching the sound card.

Total is 820 GBP.

acme15 proprosal does sound good, however I have very little knowledge of how to build a PC from scratch, and will take a lot of time to learn. Also I've experimented on another bundle using the AMD 7950, however it really is a 100GBP more expensive card than the Nvidia 660 GTX and on top of that the CPU is worse than the i5 according to benchmarks.
