New build - HELP

[rorilogan]

Hi all,

Looking to start a fresh PC build!

I need some help from all you wonderful people.
I'm just going to be gaming mostly on it, so I'm gonna need something relatively decent.

Budget would be at around £500-£600...give or take.

Already got monitors and all the extras sorted, just need the build.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

I've got another post just so you know.. As I'm potentially upgrading also, just trying to work out the prices for all of this!!

Thanks

Well for starters you can tell us what components you planning to keep.

I don't have a great technical background so I'm not sure what it is what's slowing me down at the moment. That's why I've got the other thread to go through the upgrade process.

However, this is just a straight up new build.

LiteOn IHAS124-04 24x DVD±R
Fractal Design Core 1000 (with a micro-ATX motherboard instead of ATX, e.g. this one)
CORSAIR CX500
500GB Seagate ST500DM002 Barracuda SATA 6Gb/s, 7200rpm
Windows 10 64-bit

Might as well stretch a bit more and get yourself the 6600K + a cooler, along with a better GTX 970. And look to replace the PSU for something better within the next year or so. Don't get another CX.

I think i'll be going with this build. Just ordered the SSD and will be slowing buying all the parts throughout the course of the year.

Thanks very much Danny and all others!

Hi All,

Will the GTX 970 fit in my case without blocking any other ports?

thanks
