Hi all,
I have been looking through the forums and the website to get some ideas for a new rig.
I built my last one some years ago which is:
Antec Gaming case
Q6600 quad core
nvidia nforce 610i
nvidia Geforce GTX260
Crucial Ballistix 2 x 4GB DDR2
Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit
I used to be a gamer but don't tend to do so much now, but my old rig has served me well for quite a few years but after a mobo & ram failure I have decided to build me a new one. I mainly use my PC for work (office work/email/google maps), downloading/watching TV shows, occasional dvd ripping/coding. The only game I tend to play now is Civilisation (rarely).
Below is the spec I have come up with:
YOUR BASKET
1 x Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 G1 Gaming 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £289.99
1 x Intel Core i7-4790K 4.00GHz (Devil's Canyon) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £275.99
1 x TeamGroup Vulcan RED 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-19200C11 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit (TLRED316G2400HC11CDC01) £119.99
1 x Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-Bit - OEM (FQC-08289) £116.99
1 x Samsung 250GB SSD 840 EVO SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TE250BW) £104.99
1 x EVGA SuperNova G2 750W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply £79.99
1 x Gigabyte Z97P-D3 Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £61.99
1 x Corsair Hydro H55 Quiet Liquid CPU Cooler £52.99
1 x Zalman Z1 Midi-Tower USB 3.0 - Black £30.95
1 x LG 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM GH24NSC0.AUAA10B £13.99
Total : £1,161.96 (includes shipping : £11.75).
A lot has changed since I last built my old PC so I am not 100% confident with the new stuff I have spec'd (compatability, practicality etc..) so any useful input would be greatfully appreciated. I asume that I have overkilled it with the spec for my type of useage, but my budget is £1000 tops and ideally I would also like a screen to go with this but could maybe wait and get one at a late date.
Cheers
