New build for WOW

[Goober171080]

Hi guys,

As the title says really, my current comp is struggling with end game content and im looking to upgrade, only problem is most of my current set up is over 4 years old now so i will be needing most items apart from the gpu which i hope will be sufficent, EVGA GTX 460 SC, if i could get some advise on what to look for that would be great, budget is £500, could do with price with and without OS

All feedback welcomed.

So is that OS included within the price?

Helps to know if you need a case, psu, ram, hard drives, waste of time without knowing what you already have.

Good spec by RJC.

But would definetley reccomend a modular PSU for a midi tower.

That good enough for an I5 plus a gtx 460?

 

[RJC]

As Bacon mentioned, it would be worth going for the Seasonic Modular PSU.

But with only 2 left you would need to order quick

Oh yes

Oh yes

Would the I3 be good enough, looking at getting a better case and upgrading the cpu later, really like the cooler master haf 912

The Ivy Bridge I3 is lacking in reviews at the moment, but if compared with the SB i3 cpu this should be a good cpu for the price.

With a smaller budget it might be prudent to look at cases priced at the lower end.

WoW, previously has rather liked CPU, not sure if that's still the case but I think it is.
