Hi all me again. Looking to build a PC well buy a pre built one with latest hardware.

I game a lot so I want it for a gaming PC. I latest's CPU, Motherboard, Ram up to 16GB just to be sure, NVidia 1080 single card. PSU, CPU fan not water cooled. SSD and no HDD, Case windows 10 and Anything else what you can think of.

I am going all out up to £1500 for PC and up to £500 for a monitor. But for now I will just go with a new PC. I want also good cooling case with fans and also room to change hardware when I want. At the moment I have a h61m-k mobo and graphic card covers almost everything so I cant get to any parts with out taking that out. I don't need keyboard or mouse or controllers as got them already

Thanks for any reply. I no the 1080 not out yet but I wanted to get a head start. Thanks.

Hi

You can ask ocuk to build you something to your own spec.

Something like this leaves you with a good chunk of money for a GTX 1080 out of a £2K budget.

You can go with a different case if the NZXT isn't to your taste. Phanteks Enthoo Pro and Fractal R5 are more minimalistic if you prefer something less 'aggressive' looking.

If you don't ever plan to SLI then the 550W/650W version of the RMx would be fine. You would also probably be fine with a 750W for SLI although I don't know the power consumption of the new cards. Maybe ask Customer Service about that.

Going all SSD for storage is pretty expensive. I would put a 1TB WD Blue in alongside the 500GB SSD for mass storage.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x NZXT Noctis 450 Matte Black Full Tower Chassis= £109.99
1 x Kingston Fury Black 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-19200C15 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (HX424C15FB2K2/1= £49.99

1 x Samsung 500GB 850 EVO SSD 2.5" SATA 6Gbps 32 Layer 3D V-NAND Solid State Drive (MZ-75E500B/EU)= £129.95
1 x Alpenföhn Matterhorn Black CPU Cooler= £39.95
1 x Microsoft Windows 10 32/64-Bit - USB Pen Drive - Retail (KW9-00017)= £89.99
1 x DELL S2716DG 27" 2560x1440 TN G-Sync 144Hz Gaming Widescreen LED Monitor - Midnight Grey= £429.95

I no you might say it a waist of money but would prefer the I7.

dudemiseter182 · 9 May 2016 at 20:26

So... when's the 1080 available for pre-order?

BriT · 9 May 2016 at 21:02

No one knows.

Are the cards that YouTubers such as JayzTwoCents and LinusTechTips developer samples or the final card?

40" @ 4K is a must.

skipper847 · 9 May 2016 at 22:06

I thought it was the 27th or is that just America?.

BriT · 9 May 2016 at 23:08

No 27th is world wide, he was asking when he can pre-order.

Swap out the i5 bundle for an i7 bundle then.

Or a cheaper SLI capable board if you want to bring the price down a bit.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz (Skylake) Socket LGA1151 Processor - Retail= £275.99

At the moment I have a I7 3770 3.5 CPU which is Ivy. In device manager under system device it shown as.

Xeon Processor E3 - 1200 v2/3rd Gen Core Processor DRAM Controller - 0150

Xeon Processor E3 - 1200 v2/3rd Gen Core Processor PCI Express Root Port - 0151

I still don't no why it shows as xeon as I thought xeon was more workstation then a desktop PC. Will the new I7 show as xeon as well?.
