Hello all,

This is my first gaming pc and my first self build so be gentle ;-).

Needs to be under £900, I really want the bitfenix prodigy (M or non-M, I went M to give me space to work in), and I decided on the 4670K (I may want to overclockers later on) and the GTX770. Things like RAM, PSU, fans, HDD/SSD I am relatively clueless on and I've probably forgotten to think of other things so help there would be good.


  • Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 WindForce 3x OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (GV-N770OC-2GD) £259.99
  • Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - OEM £164.99
  • Antec EA 650w '80 Plus Platinum' Power Supply £95.99
  • Asus Z87M-PLUS Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Micro ATX Motherboard £94.99
  • BitFenix Prodigy M MATX Cube Case - Midnight Black £74.95
  • Corsair Vengeance Blue Low Profile 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CML8GX3M2A1600C9B) £71.99
  • Samsung 120GB SSD 840 EVO SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TE120BW) £67.99
  • Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST1000DM003) HDD £43.99
Total: £888.98


Thanks in advance
 
Thanks for the advice. Didn't realise I was so close to an R9 290!

The Dead Silence looks quite good actually. I prefer the idea of a horizontal mobo for my first build.

Will the 550 PSU be big enough if I want to OC and add extra fans? All videos etc I've seen people are running 600+W PSUs.

Thanks again.
