New Gaming PC

Phil22 · 3 Aug 2014 at 18:07

Hi All,

I have been out of the loop for a while but I am wanting to get a new gaming computer. It will be sued for work and encoding the odd blu ray also.

I have £1500 to spend for the computer and monitor. I am leaning towards the computer below but with upgraded storage space (specifically the 500GB SSD drive and a 3TB secondary hard drive). Does this build look OK to you guys?

As for the monitor I was going to go for the Asus 24inch.

Many thanks for any input!

That's a very nice price on that 290....in fact I would be tempted to swap my 780 for that if OcUK would let me
