Hi guys.
Im planning on a completely new build. I need absolutely everything apart from a mouse and speakers.
I have a basic idea of a spec but if you guys could steer me in a better position that would be great.
Budget :
Generally £1000-1200 (If I can get it nearer £1000 that would be perfect).
What am i using it for ?
Gaming, pure and simply gaming. I will be playing DayZ, Red Orchestra 2 and any other games in the near future that take my fancy.
What is the main criteria with this build ?
Best bang for buck hopefully. Ideally with a larger monitor (27" or So)
What resolution will you play at ?
Im happy with 1080p
Anything Else ?
Yep, I have no idea whether to go for Windows 7 or 8.1. Also have i included everything in the build below (im so out of touch with this)
