New PC for gaming.

Hello,

I currently have a budget of £800 for a new PC and will be able to build myself. I do not require keyboard, mouse or monitor (using a 24" ASUS). Can't say I have a preference between Nvidia or AMD but from what I read online games tend to be more stable with Nvidia? Is there any truth to this or is there more factors based on other than the graphics card.

Thanks for the time and help.

Hello,

Just the tower. I do not require peripherals or OS.

Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for the build. Regarding cases, do you find there is a big different between the cases that are marketed with better airflow that prevents dust from building up quickly and cooler temperatures. I would spend a bit extra if it means the insides won't be caked in dust after a month.

Will be keeping that in the basket for sure.

One other question for the gpu. I've been looking up on the 970 and have seen the backlash with it being actually 3.5gb with the other 0.5 not used effectively. Would it be worth switching it over to something like a Sapphire Radeon R9 290 Vapor-X OC 4096MB GDDR5 instead?
