Hi all,
In 2 weeks I will be looking to gracefully retire my aging E6600 based set-up and upgrade to something new.
The PC will be used for a Mix of Gaming (usual mix of FPS / MMO / MOBA / RTS etc..) and video editing ( about 70 / 30 in terms of time)
The core of the system should look to be lasting me 5-7 years, so I would like to get as high performance as possible (hence my thinking about going for the 2133 RAM). I also need to replace my hard-drives as they themselves are 3-4 yrs old, and I will need a new case.
I am comfortable building, but old enough to want to be lazy if it is a cost efficient option to have it built for me...
I already Have
OS (win 7 - 64),
GFX (560ti-OC),
PSU ( Cooler master 600 igreen, although my slight concern is that this is nearly 5yrs old, but works fine....seemingly),
Monitors etc
My intention is to drop everything on the core now, then spend money later, upgrading the other items as time moves on.
My budget is ~£850 - £900 including shipping (&building)
My Initial thought was something like:
(Sorry I dont know how to do the clever links)
I have looked at the configurator, but I am not sure If I can delete the PSU / GFX to make it cheap enough.
Any help / advice would be very much appreciated.
Cheers
