New Build Help

Purdy · 12 Mar 2014 at 21:15

As per the title need help getting a new build from scratch bar peripherals, so the box and monitor basically.

Budget is £1600-1800

Looking for a 27" monitor and probably not wanting to spend more than £400 of the budget on it. Open to suggestions on spending more or less on it.

If it were my money I would lean towards Fulax's build but swap the 290 to MSI gaming edition as it is slightly better reviewed over the Asus (and still fits colour scheme).

I can personally vouch for the Iiyama screen it is great for the money.

The Corsair cube case is a beast

240mm liquid cooler will be cool and quiet

I wouldn't recommenced a HERO board, the Z87X-OC is a superior product.

Purdy · 13 Mar 2014 at 11:26

Cheers guys and yes Stulid it is for gaming, I'll go through the builds later with my friend, I see you've recommended the monitor I currently have so will probably push him towards that, didn't realise it had come down £150.

Stulid any idea what ocuk would charge on top for this to be pre built/OC'd+shipped?

That last build certainly looks good, might have to go for it

Think I'll just stick on a CD Drive and that'll do
