Hello,
With Skyrim soon upon us I've decided to buy a new computer as my current one was based around me being at university and built to suit...well...word documents rather than games. Obvious problem is I havn't yet managed to get a job so I'm running on a tight budget of £800 which has to include a monitor and windows 7 so it leaves around £600 to spend on the tower unit.
My obvious hope for a computer is that firstly it lasts for a couple years on its own, but has the ability to be upgraded via addition of RAM or graphics cards (when I get a job) and can be assisted with the ability of an overlock for when it begins to fall behind.
I should also note that I've never put a computer together before and normally order from Cyberpower but it seems to be a couple hundred £££'s more expensive.
The build below is one I obviously can't afford but something that I put together as sort of a model of what I want, with the ability to SLI the GTX560ti and add an extra 4GB RAM when the money becomes available.
Case: HAF 922
CPU: i5-2500k
CPU cooler: Hyper 212 plus
Motherboard: P8Z68-V Pro
Graphics Card: GTX 560ti
Power Supply: Corsair 650 enthusiast
Harddrive: Samsung F3 1TB
RAM: 4GB Corsair Vengeance
Optical Drive: Something cheap...
Monitor: Asus VE228T 21.5"
Operating System: Windows 7
This comes to around £1000. So the main question is should I wait until I get a job and buy the above build or can you chaps assist in knocking a couple hundred £££'s off?
