Spec me :(

[Hyburnate]

Hi all,

Could do with some guidance on a spec for gaming and general work/design

Got monitor, kb + mouse, monitor, OS, HDD etc

Just need the following

• CPU
• AIO Cooler
• RAM
• Mobo (Micro-ATX)
• Case
• PSU

Don't really have a budget per-say but I don't want to go over the top for the sake of going over the top, i5 will probably do me.
Appreciated.

What do you game on? 1080,1440, super wide, 4k?

Superwide 1080p with additional external 1920x1080 for documents/code.

I'll probably end up grabbing a GPU off the MM as I resent paying ludicrous RRP when they drop so hard.

What you could do with, is a thread asking what could be wrong with your - probably perfectly good - PC

You know full well I've lost all patience and confidence. I think it's the RAM but why spend more on DDR3 and it end up being the board - tried finding an 1155 board and it's a ballache

Why spend £30 on some RAM or £30 on a second hand motherboard when I could spend £500 on a new core system which will perform about the same as what I have!

BRB buying a new car cos one of my tyres keeps going flat...

Seeing hard drives disappear and windows freezing, I'd probably relate that more to selling a car that doesn't turn over every other day, sure it could be HT leads but I honestly don't have time for stability issues.
