Spec me please.

Hey guys I'm looking to spend around £600 on a new CPU, MOBO and GPU.

Needs are predominately gaming, so ideally I'd be looking at an i-5 or AMD equivalent.

Do your worst =)

Assuming you have ram, a cooler and a decent Psu. The 4670K is on a today only offer and will go back up in price tomorrow.

I have 2x 4GB Intel Patriot Extreme Ram
H80i liquid cooling.
Corsair RM750w PSU

Should that suffice?

So would Idleman's spec be the general consensus out there then or has anybody got other thoughts?

The Sapphire 290 is £22 cheaper.

If you are not in a rush then wait for the new Z97 Motherboards to be released. They are due around the 11th May.


What case do you have ? Just to make sure the gpu will fit
