Hi guys, after reading sooo many of these threads I think I've narrowed it down to the following system / compontents, was trying to stay as close to £550 + shipping.
So just before I pull the trigger I'd really appreciate it if some of you techie experts could run your eye over what I've selected ... just in case I've made some school boy error or you spot a better combination for performance v's price.
I use a 1080P monitor and mainly play World of Tanks / ARMA / Starcraft and will want Elite Dangerous to run nice and smooth.
Always had Intel cpu's and thought I'd stick with them due to WOT's current dependence on single core performance.
Sapphire Radeon R9 270X Vapor-X OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Card £149.99
Intel Core i5-4460 3.20GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £134.99
Gigabyte H97-HD3 Intel H97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £74.99
SuperFlower Golden Green HX 550W "80 Plus Gold" Power Supply £49.99
TeamGroup Elite Black 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual £49.99
Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache £43.99
BitFenix Merc Beta Gaming Case £29.99
OcUK 22x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM £10.99
Total = £559.02
Thanks guys
