Hi there

I want to get into Pc gaming and have bought 3 parts already from the link below, these are the case, CPU Cooler and Memory.

I want to be able to play the latest 'next gen' games on as high a setting as possible without spending more than £700 on the components left that I need (Not monitor or keyboard etc as I already have these).

I have picked out components in this link but I'm happy for someone to change anything other than Case, CPU Cooler and Memory.

Competitor names and prices.

Thanks Guys

I've had to remove your link as it broke competitor rules.

But you should be able to get Z97 instead of Z77.

You are also missing a GFX card, unless you have one?
 
Oops apologies for that.

Would you be able to possibly suggest a build for me if I already have ripjaw memory 2 x 4gb, Mid case and a cooler master CPU.

I'm literally stuck with this and don't know where to start with a gracphics card.

Thanks

You get cashback when you buy the CPU+board together - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18618965


What case do you have? need to check the stuff fits. Also why did you include a Fractal case in your proposed spec if you have a case?
 
Thanks stulid.

The case that I have is a Fractal Design Define R3 Midi Tower Case - Titanium Grey

Might be a stupid question but I could get Windows 8.1 Professional 64-bit for free. Would that just be silly or just get the standard version?

If i got this bundle how good would it actually be?

Thanks for your help, appreciated.
 
Win 8.1 pro will do nicely. Absolutely fine for gaming.


The 4670K is the newest i5 and the Z97 board the latest chipset so should last longer and support the next range of chips.

The 4670K vs 3570K - http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/837?vs=701


Did you say you already had a Coolermaster CPU cooler? does it support socket 1155/1150? do you need new thermal paste to re-fit it?
 
Great

Yeah I already have a CPU cooler this is it - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler.

I have never used it, I bought it around two years ago when I was going to build a PC but never got around to it.
 
 
Thought I would let anyone know that was interested that I have now bought the build which you guys helped me with :)
