New System Spec

[Tarqy]

Hi All,

Looking for some advice on a new build, I've been out of the loop for a few years as I sold my last PC when my daughter was born but looking to get a new system built after seeing the video's for Fallout 4!

So system capable of running the above, I still have my old NEC 24WMGX3 monitor but possible looking at something a little larger and I've got a case/PSU/peripherals so looking at the rest of the components.

I was thinking a GTX 970 unless someone has a better suggestion but not really sure where to start with CPU/Mobo.

I previously had an i7 920 D0 and I'm sure things have moved on a bit from there I just really don't have the time at the moment to go looking for the info so do I need an i7 or is i5 acceptable these days?

Any advice is appreciated, Thanks

I've got a few bits and pieces, see below so looking to add some updated components to these

Case - Silverstone FT01W
Monitor - NEC 24WMGX3
PSU - Corsair HX 1000W

Keyboard/Mouse/Disks are covered, got all sorts around.

So I need a motherboard, CPU, memory and graphics card with budget of around £7-800.

I'd prefer a Nvidia card, they seem to have been better for Skyrim and I suspect the same would be true of Fallout.

Yeah that is the case, I have a slightly older revision (No USB 3) but its the same otherwise.

I'll take a look at you suggestions when I finish work. Cheers for the help.
