I have £2000

I need a gpu, cpu, ram, mobo, psu

I'd prefer a new fixed loop cooler corsair preferably and I'd like also am M2 drive

Thanks guys!
 
Anybody help out? I've another request too, if possible can you do me a second spec with an Intel Extreme edition cpu? Upto 3k same as above I want to see the 2k and 3k options
 
Get two 1080's
I7 6700K
Decent MOBO(150 ish)
16GB RAM
Decent AIO Corsair H100 lineup generally has good performance.
750 watt PSU
two 240 SSD(raid 0)
two 1TB HDD(raid 1)
case of your choice, H440 is a good choice.
Should be around 2 grand or less.

I've got a case and 2 SSDS already would you take two 1080s over a 1080ti?
 
Here is a Ryzen build for the £3000 option.

If you are going to go with a GTX 1080 ti then you want a better (Higher resolution) monitor such as the one below. If you don't want Widescreen then I would swap it for one of the 27" 1440p/165Hz G-sync instead.

If you plan on keeping the Benq then a GTX 1070 would suffice. You don't need the power of a GTX 1080 ti for 1080p.

There is a cheaper Corsair cooler (H100 240mm) which has RGB fans. The one in the spec below is slightly bigger at 280mm. Both will fit in the Phanteks case. The cooler should be compatible out of the box for Ryzen according to the listing page.

If you do need an AM4 bracket you can request one from Corsair for Free.

Not really sure that X99 is great value as you get more for your money with Ryzen. A 6 core X99 cpu is nearly £400 on it's own, whereas an 8 core Ryzen is £300.
 
Here is a £2k Ryzen option with a 6 core R5 1600 cpu and a 27" 1440p screen and GTX 1080.

If I wanted to stream would you still recommend the screen upgrade? Also why Ryder over Intel? Is Ryzen that good? Sorry I've been out the game for a while I'm running a 680gtx and i5 currently

You have the budget for a new monitor, but it is up to you if you want to upgrade it or not. If you are going to stick with the 1080p screens then just change the gpu to a GTX 1070.

I would probably go with the 27" 1440p if you do decide to upgrade the monitor, as it is less hassle than an ultrawide for streaming, as most people would have black bars either side when watching on a standard monitor. You can get it to work but you have to mess with a few settings. There is a vid on youtube showing how to stream with an Ultrawide monitor.


Ryzen is the new cpu from AMD. They have only been out for a month so still a few teething problems such as ram not running at the correct speed. It should be on par with X99 for gaming, but the i7 7700K is probably still a bit faster. As you are streaming though the extra cpu cores on Ryzen will help, especially if you have other things going on in the background.
 
What do you think of the extreme edition 10 core intel chips? I know there very pricey just wondered if it's an option
 
You are looking at the best part of £1600 just for a 10 core Intel i7 cpu. I wouldn't even consider one just for a gaming pc.
