Sorry, another spec me ...

[MoratJG]

I'm hoping you guys don't get bored of these threads.

Budget is £1200-1500, ideally on the lower end but can go higher if it will make a significant difference.

Primarily a gaming rig, FPS and some MMO's

Will be using W8.1 (already owned)

Monitors, mouse, KB not needed but if you have suggestions, these will be next on the hit list.

TIA.

/edit And I doubt I'll be clocking or using liquid cooling.

The Crucial has 16GB extra storage though. I doubt you would notice a difference in normal usage.

 

[ShivP]

True dat

 

[MoratJG]

Thanks guys. I'd prefer speed over storage on the drive, if that makes any difference. Also, is it worth going over 8GB?

For gaming.. no

You wouldn't notice the difference in speed, so 16GB extra make's more sense.
