new build?

jay303 · 19 Oct 2011 at 21:46

looking at building a gaming pc i need everything exepct a mouse and keyboard, i have a budget of £700, gpu wise i would like something that will handle bf3 easly and also have better visuals than console. also i will be overclocking the cpu and gpu and i would like to go crossfire/sli in the future for extra grunt.

thank you

If he's going future SLI he will need more than 600W, especially if OC'ing too.

I suggest: Cooler Master GX 750W £77

Looking at reviews SLI 560 & full system pulls 430w form the mains.

The Coolermaster got a poor review:

You need a monitor as well or got one already?

jay303 · 19 Oct 2011 at 22:19

yes i do need a monitor but i have plenty of time before i order so i will be able to save for that any suggestions i would like something quite big 24" or 27" at 1980x1080 i will get better fps on the 1920x1080 rather than a higher pixel monitor?
