Titan Virtual Force OcUK Gaming PC

[P1Fanatic]

Looking to move back to PC gaming after many years on console so a bit out of touch and can't be bothered to build my self. Mainly play FPS such as Battlefield 1. Got a budget of £1400 + monitor.

This OCuk build seems to fit the bill nicely but its there anything obvious you would change or swap:

Monitor wise thinking of a 144hz 1440p. Any recommendations?

Looks pretty good, though I'd go pure SSD if you can afford it. As for the monitor, look at the 3440x1440 monitors.

Thanks. I dont need local file space as have a 3TB NAS. Is it still the norm to put your OS on a main drive and apps on another or is that a thing of the past with SSD? If it is then I could probably bin the HDD and get a larger SSD.

CPU wise is the i5 6600k o/c to 4.5ghz a better buy than the i7 6700k at stock 4ghz considering its £100 cheaper?

It's standard to put the OS and key apps on the SSD.

Overclocks are never guaranteed. With the i7 you get hyperthreading; if the 4 extra pseudo-threads will be of use to you then you should get the i7.

OCuk sell it overclocked so it is guarenteed. Will do some further research on what I need but sounds like the i5 may suffice.
