New PC specification

[Rising]

Hi, my old PCs motherboard went up in smoke so looking to replace PC. Keeping my newly bought GTX 1070, a couple of storage drives and keyboard/mouse. Not going to overclock.

Most is set just not sure about memory. How does it all look?

OcUK price on the 960 EVO 500GB M.2 is very expensive at the moment, was cheaper a few days ago. Could pocket up to £50 just there.

And a H100i when you're not going to OC is way overkill. Could save plenty there too.

750W, going to SLI in future?

Motherboard seems a bit overkill for no OC but then again, you may want it for other features (like SLI/nice audio).

Cut back the motherboard, cooler and power.

I will still use my GTX 1070 and drives. Case is so I can use my dvd-rewriter.

Will use my old Asus Xonar D2X sound card too from old PC

A 550W is enough for a single GTX 1070.

If you want a cheaper water cooler look at the Antec H600. Still a bit OTT if you are not going to overclock but £20 cheaper than the Corsair H55 and performance will be the same.

Phanteks Enthoo Pro M (Acrylic) has an optical drive bay and is about £28 cheaper than the 450D.


My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Phanteks Enthoo Pro M Window Edition - Black Full Acrylic Side Window= £78.95
• 1 x Antec H600 Pro Kuhler 120mm AIO Liquid Cooler= £49.99
• 1 x Super Flower Leadex GOLD 550W Fully Modular '80 Plus Gold' Power Supply - Gunmetal= £83.99

Total: £225.23
(includes shipping: £12.30)
