new system build with video card and hdd

[standarduck]

So the other day I posted about buying a new video card.

I got an r9 380 4gb

Now I regret this because I want a full system that isn't old and rubbish to go with it. My case is too small and my psu is awful.

So I have a 1tb HDD and a 380 and 8gb of ram, but I need everything else. Cheap as possible but want to make the most of the new video card really. 1080p gaming and decent framers for fps.

Maybe up to 300 squid?

Cheers
Duck

I'd go with this. Stulid's bundle includes RAM which you already have.

 

[stulid]

How do we know its DDR3 RAM that the OP has?

 

[dacads]

Perhaps he can clarify?

 

[standarduck]

In my haste to write the post, I neglected to even think about the type of ram. I'll need DDR3 for the new system.

 

[stulid]

My bundle includes DDR3

 

[ExRayTed]

My bundle includes DDR3

You got lucky

 

[stulid]

You got lucky

No,

Anyone would think I'm new to this game

 

[standarduck]

So could I go for the case and psu from the second build and the bundle from the first?

You can. If you don't need the CPU/mobo/RAM assembled for you then save £30 and also get an i5-4590 and the PLUS model of the motherboard instead of the K so you can use the case's USB 3.0 port/s.

Oh, no I can assemble it all myself, that's fine. 30 quid is a great saving.

 

[standarduck]

Looking at this now.

Along with my HDD and the R9 380, monitor, optical drive and peripherals, anything else I need?

i just assumed as ddr3 is common ..


on a side note, for my build a lower processor would be needed to fit ram in.

unless you wanted modular or more than 8gb then it doesnt look like you need anything else.

 

[standarduck]

Hmm, I think I'm looking at quite a lot more for 16GB. Not too worried about modular - I assume this psu will be fine for powering a 6+2 port on the card?

 

[Danny75]

Do you have a DVD drive (with SATA) for that OS? Otherwise get the Windows 10 USB version.

PSU has 2 x PCI 6+2 connectors.
