Why not a second hand GPU with the i5?

I just don't see the point in paying for the i3 when he said he will "add more after if it works". Might as well start with a quality CPU.

Never said he couldnt use a 2nd hand GPU with the i5K :/ Just pointing out the build is fast running out of control and his budget will have to increase.

Some people dont like buying second hand. I was just saying that I personally wouldn't buy anything less than the 2GB 7850 if he wants something brand new

No room with a GPU. Get a dongle.

No, I know. I was just wondering if there was a reason I was unaware of (which is stupid, I know)

Vergais

Is £400 the actual budget or as you said 'add more later' could you stretch it?

It would work but and it's a rather big BUT.....

The H77 doesn't allow you to overclock the i5K, you might as well drop the wifi dongle and get the Z77 mobo i spec'd earlier.

Second that HDD is waaaaaaaay toooooooo sloooooow

7200rpm is what you want for an OS drive, 5200rpm is for laptops and eco drives

THirdly the PSU isn't modular so you have a mass of unused cables you need to hide. Not ideal in a small case, which is why I used the modular P&C PSU

Lastly you wont be gaming until you drop in a GPU.

I'm still new to all this, still learning the ins and outs.

Yea, I can't get the i5 below £500

That's not a big problem when using the Prodigy.

Right about the RPM.
5400 is a joke unless it's backup or mass storage.

Also the H77 is useless. Might as well get the non K version of the I5.

I really do beg to differ. Even when building in midi towers I find modular PSUs to be a godsend for cable management. Any excess cables are simply there to block airflow, better airlfow equals better temps. Some PSUs dont fit in the prodigy, OCuk supply the P&C PSU with their store built prodigy so we know it's good

vergals · 22 Dec 2012 at 23:44

Right, thanks a lot you lot I'm pleased to announce I've placed my order lol.. such a horrible moment... if this goes boobs up im coming for you hono...

its just a waiting game now with it been christmas and all
