Looking forward to seeing what the OP has put together, I always enjoy seeing the different ways we balance budgets

Thank you,
The machine will be used for gaming, Primarily world of tanks, so I would like a good frame rate and general internet use. The last time I put one together was about 15 year ago, so i`m well out of touch with building a system.
I chose the GFX card because it`s on offer ATM and chose the other parts by looking at other specs posted.
My budget is between £700-800
So if you could give any sugestions as to any improvements or cuts for my needs would be nice.
I have a Samsung TV/Monitor @1920 x 1080 which will be used

It seems someone has been lurking in this sub-forum a fair bit.

It looks a lot like something us 3 (stulid, hono and myself) would spec.

Wouldn't change a thing.

EDIT: actually id drop the memory, AMD chips don't benifit a lot from faster memory. 1600mhz will do you just fine.

Just saved you £12.

Just saved you £12.

A £12 saving is a great thing for any wallet to hear even more useful with the steam sale still going on. Maybe bag a few games to test out, L4D is also completely free at the moment. Missed that by a few hours even though I already own it.

Nice and quiet, just the way I like it.

Don`t hate it, just don`t like it any more.

 

[Idleman]

You wont be adding a second Gpu with that mobo, so this Psu will save you another £12.

YOUR BASKET
1 x SuperFlower Golden Green HX 550W "80 Plus Gold" Power Supply - Black £53.99

[Doomedspeed]

Glad the holidays were to your taste mate.

Good spot on the PSU, 550W should be ample.

£12 falling all over the gaff!

 

[1kimbo321]

Thanks for looking and yes i`ve been lurking for a couple of weeks lol
Before I hit the buy button will I need to buy anything else, extra cables/connectors?
My tv/monitor has HDMI input so what cable do I need?
will one of these do:- http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CB-037-AK&tool=3. Or do they come with the GFX card?
Also do the HDD/DVD drives come with cables, basicaly will I have every thing I need in the build below.
Thanks
Kim

Have you ordered this, as the Gpu has gone back up in price.

 

[Doomedspeed]

And the cheapest 280X is now £50 more..

 

[Ethermaster]

Did you all have a good Christmas boys?

Yes thanks Idleman matey, its nice to be back on the boards again tho hope you had a good Christmas.

And the cheapest 280X is now £50 more..

Its the damn miners that have caused that which is why the Nvidia line up is looking better and better atm as at this rate the AMD cards will cost the same anyway and become as rare as rocking horse stool's.

 

[ShivP]

Got to admit that was an amazing price.

 

[Idleman]

Yes thanks Idleman matey, its nice to be back on the boards again tho hope you had a good Christmas.

Yes mate, very, very peaceful, as in, stayed in and saw no one. Bliss.

Perfect Christmas then mate
