Hi Guys,
Been out of the game for a while, my how quickly things have moved on.
I feel a bit out of my depth with 2 new Intel processors and 3 new Nvidia series cards coming out since my last build.
The main issue for me is choosing the RAM, I always used 1600 DDR3 so I am just guessing 3200 DDR4 is right for this build.
If you could be kind enough to critique my planned build I would be very grateful.
My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £1,547.93
(includes shipping: £0.00)
I'll be using it for gaming on a 4k TV and overclocking for fun, I already
have an SSD and HDD, I cant decide on a case at the moment but thats
a personal choice so I am not expecting anyone to spec that for me.
This will be underwater at some point but until then I was planning to leave my h100 in there.
Cheers!!!!
