New Build

[davy89]

It's been a while since I've built a new gaming PC, having sold my old system a few years back I am now ready to get back into it.

I've put together roughly what I want but I'm a little out of touch with what is good and bad, so what do you think? My budget is flexible should it be worth spending the extra.

I need both monitor and PC, I will also use the monitor with my PS4.



Thanks in advance.

I think you will find this a better selection of parts, especially the GFX card.

Thanks for the reply, looks really good with the exception of the cpu cooler, what are the benefits of having that over the corsair?

Its cheaper (obviously) and the larger rad size mean temps will be better (more surface area), it may also be quieter for similar temperatures.
