OCUK Gaming bundle

DAIR · 10 Sep 2014 at 14:41

Considering purchasing a gaming PC bundle from OCUK. problem is that I'm not a PC hardware person (haven't been in a long time). So I know very little when it comes to spec.

My budget is around £600

Requirements:
Needs to be able to run games like up coming Project Cars game and iracing.

Need to be able to connect at least two HD monitors to it.

I dont want it slowing down on me after two years. Would like it to be fairly furture proof.

Let me know your recommendations. Thanks.

Do you need operating system and monitors and other peripherals?

DAIR · 10 Sep 2014 at 15:01

Will require an OS too.

I'm fine for everything else.

Wait to see what further optimising happens during pCARS development, my aged pc is becoming increasingly capable of smooth play. When it goes gold in ~2 months time, I might finally upgrade!

DAIR · 11 Sep 2014 at 09:10

Will bump thread when final recommendations are revealed.

Would you say 600 was a decent enough budget?

Do you have a case ?

DAIR · 11 Sep 2014 at 09:59

Nope.

Plus you get a free headset

I think you need to increase your budget

100 £ cash back if you buy before the 15 th

I see. Will an extra 400 really make a difference?

Mark This Day · 11 Sep 2014 at 14:26

Yes 600 is not enough for a pre made system
Would be better of buying the parts and building it your self

Change of plan. Need something for IRacing only (will get PCars for the console instead).

Have just carried out a check to see whether my laptop could run it and failed on the processor front. Passed everything else though/:

I think you would be better building the PC yourself

DAIR · 12 Sep 2014 at 10:05

What makes you say that? Would a save a lot?

Mark This Day · 12 Sep 2014 at 11:43

Yes you would save a lot that spec I listed is what you should buy

stulid · 12 Sep 2014 at 12:23

The reference card is such a bad idea.

Unless you buy a water block for it you will experience a new meaning for the the term "loud" "hot".

Mark This Day · 12 Sep 2014 at 12:53

It's a very good price is the only reason I put it in the spec

1000W is overkill, unless you want to go crossfire in the future

It's a Overclockers bundle great deal
