New Build: £600-£700

Hey there,

Im looking for a build, as the title says, for about £600-£700.

This will be for gaming including Battlefield 3 (on High), World of Warcraft, Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3. I hope for it to be future proof and/or upgradable.

I dont need a moniter/keyboard/mouse.

Thanks in advance

Daniel

Do you need an OS? Do you have any HDDs you can reuse? (SATA)

fenton296 · 3 Nov 2011 at 22:11

Yeah I need an OS sorry. Im not sure what my current HDDs are, im guessing they'll be Sata. But they're running pretty full justnow. Fire a new HDD into the cost and ill drop it if needed

Theres some issues with the above spec,

1) The card is to long for the case,

http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=30

Click on the specification tab and you will see this picture,

That shows there to be 230mm of available space for cards.

The card,
http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N560GTX-Ti-Twin-Frozr-II-OC.html#?div=Specification

Card Dimension(mm) 238 x 111 x 37mm

Is 8mm too long.

2) The PSU is a bit naff for this sort of spec.

My advice is to switch to this case,

And this PSU,
