Prodigy GTX780 Build

[irm-irm]

Hi guys, I'm looking to spend around £1000 but cheaper would be great. I will get this pre built.

The budget does not include the monitor, mouse, keyboard. I will be using this build mainly for Dayz, Rust and possibly Crisis, Far cry, BF.

I want to use BitFenix Prodigy Case, GTX 780, SSD (120gb?), i5 or i7 then everything else thats needed.

Any help on would be great guys, Thanks.

Think i got everything. I just like to say, I don't usually do this and there are some amazing guys here for suggesting builds, but this is my two cents. I'm sure you'll get lots of variants!

The case looks so lush, makes me want to try another build. Whatever you get, i hope you have a good build —Welcome to the forums too

Looks very good, but for £40 and the same price as pretty much any other 780 you can get a 6gb one - why not?
Also you specced an Matx mobo for an mITX case

Do you need an OS?

 

[irm-irm]

Thanks for doing that gerico, Looks great and feels like its coming together in my head now.

 

[irm-irm]

Yeah I should have mini ITX boards needed.

Yup need os too.

 

[gerico]

Can you stretch to an os on top of that price or do you *need to keep it at 1k?

That Superflower psu is too long for the prodigy.

Ahh ok, thanks lee — I'll make a note for next time

 

[irm-irm]

Thanks for all the help guys.

Yeah that's a good point

Sorry for hi-jacking someone else's thread, but I've got a system very similar to the one in the original basket, except h80i rather than h100i and using the 550W supply (because as mentioned above, that's what fits in that case).

Am I likely to run into problems using the smaller power supply? I'm seeing 600W mentioned as a minimum for the GTX 780, but everything seems to be running fine with the setup I have at the moment.

 

[lee32uk]

A 550W psu is fine for a gtx 780. It would run a gtx 780 ti as well. This is assuming you have a good quality psu such as a Seasonic, Antec, Superflower etc.

Interesting video and thanks for posting.

I have the SuperFlower Golden Green HX 550W "80 Plus Gold" PSU so it sounds like I should be OK for now.

Yes you will be fine. The Superflower is a very good psu.
