So i impulse bought a i5-3570K. Ive been meaning to get round to building a new machine for ages now. Mine is more than a little dated.

Can you fine chaps spec me a decent machine built around that cpu please? ^^ Budget being about 800 squid i reckon but with some flexibility upwards. Case included but don't need monitor/periphs.

Love you all

Do you peripherals include an OS? Worth checking as it can take a chunk of the budget out.

Better quality PSU (Seasonic) than the PC power & cooling ones, case is more personal choice to be honest.

[Bacon?]

you realise those pc power and cooling are Seasonic

 

[cmd1989]

I did not! Thanks for the info.

I that case, change it to the PC power and cooling ones to knock of about £15!
