Spec me please - about £1400...

[Snow-Munki]

Evening all,

The time has finally come to upgrade my REALLY old PC ( Intel Q6600, 4GB ram etc )

Decided on the monitor already, being a Dell U3415W which is about £650.

I have a budget of £2000. Happy to spend a bit more if necessary.

Will need the entire tower minus the OS and data HDD.

So CPU / motherboard / gfx / SSD / case.

Ideally a smallish nice looking case, as g/f doesn't like the current full sized case !

Haven't really kept up to date of what is good.

Thanks all,

Coor thanks very much.

Would it be worth considering itx form factor or would that not be a good idea ?

And price wise is it good 'value' of money ? As in worth saving on some parts or paying a bit more for something else ?

The first option looks good though, expensive but good

You cant (well you can get one from ASrock) get a X99 in itx form factor.

To save money you could get a 650W PSU if you only wanted a single GFX card.

Smaller 256GB SSD might be big enough.
