Well the time is here where I need to upgrade to play the likes of Battlefield 3, Skyrim and Guildwars 2.

Things im keeping from my old build,

  • PSU - Corsair HX 750W
  • Cooler - Corsair H50


My current basket is looking like this, is there anything you would change/add?

  • CPU - Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz
  • Mobo - Asrock Z68 Extreme4 Intel Z68
  • Ram - Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9
  • HDD - Corsair Force Series 3 120GB SATA 6Gb/s

Current total est. - £510


Things I still haven't decided on and need suggestions for ?

Case & Graphics Card



Would like to spend under £1000

Any help appreciated.
 
current selection looks fine, not to up on ssd's so i'd check in the hard drive forum, have seen mention of various issues on some models, cant remember if the corsairs were mentioned.

edit:
are you looking to sli/crossfire graphics cards, if not may be worth looking at the Asrock Z68 PRO3 mobo.

case wise have a look at the corsair 600T, seen some recently in the case gallery and they do look nice and seem to have decent cable management.

gfx card wise, top end have a look at the 580's.

Just reading a little more on SSD's the F3's seem to be getting a bad response, might look at intel or crucial instead.

As for sli/crossfire I intend to use a single card for know with the possibility of going sli/crossfire in the near future.
