seems pretty good, wjat res are u gaming at?

 

[Deific]

budget?

 

[paininlife]

ok everything seems good...but i would suggest to increase your budget a bit and get PowerColor 4890

i double that, only 20 pounds more i think.

 

[BigBruiserAl]

It is worth extra for the 4890 but also get some TIM if you dont have any around lots of people forget retail stuff sucks

 

[mcingo]

i will be using a 22" monitor max, is it a big difference the 4890?

The retail fan we come with paste but generaly poor stuff to cut costs you can buy some much better paste

and cleaner

if you on a budget forget the above teh retail stuff will do if you want to o/c you will need some decent paste as above

 

[mcingo]

ah ok, i'm not planning to o/c for now so the retail stuff will do, the rest is everything ok? thanks

can OCuk, ship these parts prebuilt (i'm from malta)? and if not do I need extra cables etc to build it myself?

 

[Zenduri]

i would send them a webnote first to see if they will ship to malta before ordering

 

[mcingo]

yeah they ship to Malta, my friend just bought parts from here, not sure if they make custom builds

 

[BigBruiserAl]

build it yourself mate...very easy i just built the orange rig in my sig the other day took 2 hours and no you do not need any more cables the mother board comes with 2 black SATA cables which you use for you OEM cdrom drive and HDD...so its Fine click buy

 

[Nameless_87]

I'm from Malta too and they do ship...

I'm trying to build a new rig too...
Shipping is expensive though... with the case shipping will be £100

But everything is better than what local shops offer... so I guess I'll buy from OcUK after someone answers some of the questions in my thread... I want to be sure I get everything right.

 

[mcingo]

its just that i never built one i might give it a try tho.. so the psu wires etc are all there no need for anything extra?

yes the case changes a lot, if u don't need a big and expensive case, with mine the shipping is £56

 

[Nameless_87]

yes the shipping for the case alone is £45...

but I want the Antec 1200...

And I don't know where to find it in malta.

 

[mcingo]

yeah saw your build, you need a good case for that build, it is still worth it tho, in Malta the case is hard to find and the components are sometimes double the price..

 

[Nameless_87]

yeah... my particular build in Malta would be over 2000 euros

 

[mcingo]

wanted to ask something is the power supply enough if i wanted to crossfire later on?

and are be quiet! psu's good? and this particular one cause I can't find it on the be quiet! site

 

[Nameless_87]

I think it will be enough for xfire however I would get a 750W PSU

It's more futureproof... also I don't know about Be Quiet! I never used them... Myself, I'm getting a corsair HX...
