Need help for a gaming pc

dmill82 · 21 Apr 2016 at 18:08

Hello all, I'm getting back into gaming after many years and looking for a half decent gaming PC.
My old PC is no good and I don't no enough about them to find a good gaming PC by myself.
My max budget is £800 but £750 would be more comfortable for me.
Looking to play all high end games like battlefield 4 just on a standard monitor.
Would like an OS an except a 3rd or so will go on the graphics card.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi,

So tower+OS and nothing else?

dmill82 · 21 Apr 2016 at 18:43

Yeah just after a spec for the best gaming tower I can get with my budget.
I have everything else but do need an OS on it.
Cheers.

Thank you stulid.
If this is a solid build for my budget, I will get it ordered.
Will overclockers build this for me, at a cost?.

stulid · 21 Apr 2016 at 19:17

Its very solid, the 380X will play BF4 at 1080P no problems as Im currently using a 380 (nonX) 4Gb and play BF4 a lot on a 1080P screen.

As for build cost that is something you would have to ask in the customer service section.

dmill82 · 21 Apr 2016 at 19:24

That's great, once again thank you for your help.
I will head down that route.
Cheers.

I'm going ahead with this build like I said, but wanted to ask one last question.
How future proof is this build, with aspects of upgrade ability?.
Cheers.

stulid · 24 Apr 2016 at 16:32

The PSU can cope witha stronger GFX card if you wish to upgrade taht later on.

There should be another set of CPUs released for the chipset later on, Intel do tend to do 2 releases per socket.

I have old CD games I would like to play on this PC, what extra is it to put a disc drive in the build to play these?.
Is it compatible to use a disc drive with this system.

The extra will probably be just the cost of a DVD ReWriter, but you can check that with the person arranging to build it for you:

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Samsung SH-224FB/BEBE 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM M disc compatible= £12.95
1 x LG 24x DVDRW SATA Rewriter - OEM (GH24NSD0)= £12.98

Total: £31.95
(includes shipping: £6.02)

If you are sticking with the BitFenix Neos ATX case, then no problem as it has two optical bays.
