Hi,

I love computer gaming, and have decided that i want to buy a gaming pc rather than going for a console, i really would like to build it myself and feel i could with guides, well hopefully...

I have £2000 but id rather spend less, hopefully i wont need too expensive parts for what i want.

I would like the following :

1. Bitfenix prodigy matx case

2. aoc monitor: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-022-AO&groupid=17&catid=510

3. I would love to have a titan graphics card but im unsure if i will need it...


I would like it to run crysis 3 maxed out, maybe this is too much to ask im unsure?

Im quite worried about overheating, due to it being in such a small build, is this a problem and if so can it be overcome? Id like a corsair hydo in there aswell, and i will be using all the fan slots, will this be loud?

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out :)

cheers,
lewis.

Something like this is a good start, 780TI is an awesome card, i7, decent amount of ram, PSU is large enough if you want to add a second card, but not sure how will the case an handle the heat.

good gpu's these days laugh at crysis 3 maxed out, we're sort of at a point where only huge resolutions can cripple the best graphics cards these days! get a 780Ti or a 290x rather than a Titan

I don't think the EVGA psu will fit in the Prodigy case, as it is pretty long at 180mm. I think that 150mm to 160mm max is the suggested max length.

That is perfect man thanks :)

Although i have seen a new monitor i would like, but if i were to get those parts you have recommended, would i be able to benefit from the 144hz this screen has? Would the screen really be worth it?
Here is the screen i now would like

you would need a couple of 780 ti gpus to max out that resolution @ 144hz. it gets very good reviews though.

Thanks for all the help 2 of them in total is out the question :/ I can afford max 2k, would I be better off getting one 780ti and a different screen? I really would love best refresh rate as I love payday?

Cheers,
Lewis
 
Bit of both tbh I have hopes of customising it a lot, and I want it to be easily transportable for lan, I would liquid cool it but I really can't be bothered with the hassle and upkeep. I completely have my heart set on that case tho, plan on going to overclockers on sat so just trying to sum up everything I need

Good spec for a small rig, one thing I would personally change the choice of 1tb to 2tb drive. These AAA titles nowadays are pushing 40-50 gig
