Spec me Everything!?

[ThatAsianGuy]

Long time people, Iv been very busy this past month so i aint been active on the forums but everythings died down now so yeh, but let me cut to the point.

Can you guys spec me a PC that will handle todays games on high settings a constant 60fps mainly FPS like BF3 and borderlands 2 when that comes out.

Also can you also spec the minotor, keyboard, mouse, headset, soundcard every thing i will absoluteley need for PC gaming. No Budget is required but would want to keep cost under £1500.

Please do not spec me headsets that are rubbish spec me good quality products please. and thanks in advance!

So, ...

- You have a whole selection of 670. The windforce is popular. 680... probably too much.
- 3570K. Pretty much set in stone, unles you fancy a 3770K which is OTT.
- Z77 motherboard. I'd say £100-£150 budget range.
- 8GB 1600MHz ram. Don't need anything fancy.
- Decent CPU cooler. £25-£35 range will give you decent overclock (4.2-4.4GHz). Can go big as well if you have the budget.
- 24'' monitor. Dunno much about those. They range from budget to super expensive 120Hx monitors, to IPS panels.
- 128GB SSD. M4 or Samsung 830.
- 1TB HDD. Seagate, WD, Samsung, even probably the new Hitachi's.
- 550W+ PSU (750W SLI). Something good quality, like a Corsair, XFX.
- Decent case. I'd say £80-£150 range. CM StormTrooper, 500D, 550D, 650D, Fractal R3, Raven RV03, NZXT Phantom...
- decent peripherals (that again is a lot down to personal preference). That is too personal, but the G400 is good all round mouse, can go mechanical keyboard, backlit...
- Sound card : I'd say either onboard, or a Xonar D1, D2.
- Headset : No idea.

Get The case in white also if you want to go sli in the future 750w is the min requirement to power your rig. Consider something a little bit bigger maybe, also i got the 850w OCZ and the wires are a bit short, you have to huff and puff a bit to get them stick em in the slots. Also when choosing a case (something i didnt do) have a look at some youtbue videos of some1 building using that case. For example you can water cool with the H100 on the 500R realy easily if u fancy it.
