Hi Overclockers, I am in the market for a new gaming pc, i can spend up to 14-1500 pounds , but for this amount i need a gaming moniter (1ms, 120hz, no need for 3D Vision), and would like a nice mechanical keyboard and gaming mouse .

I would like to use my new rig to play the latest games such as battlefeild 3 and Starcraft 2 and stream them in high quality on twitch tv.

This system i had selected is on oc's pre built range.
System Specification
- Case: NZXT Phantom Enthusiast USB3.0 Full Tower - Red
- Power Supply: Corsair GS 600w PSU
- CPU: Intel Core i7 3770 3.40GHz Quad Core CPU
- Motherboard: Gigabyte Z77-DS3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
- Cooler: Stock Intel CPU Cooler
- RAM: Crucial Ballistix Tracer 16GB (2x8GB) 1600MHz C8 DDR3 Dual Channel Kit
- Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache HDD
- Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 2GB GDDR5
- Sound: Onboard 7.1 Audio
- Optical Drive: OcUK 22x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter - Black
- Network: Asus USB-N10 WiFi 150Mbps Pen

I had thought to add a SSD for the OS and my favorate game, either 120-or 240GB in size.

The mechanical keyboard i had in mind is - TT eSports MEKA Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
gaming mouse - Zowie MiCO Gaming Mouse - Black
gaming moniter- BenQ XL2411T 24" TRUE 120Hz 3D Vision 2.0 Widescreen LED Monitor

Can you guys advise me if im on the right tracks ?
 
Hi and welcome to the forums, do you not fancy building your own??? Lots of advice can be had from these forums.
Post this in general hardware to see what people come up with.
 
something like below and you can ask ocuk to give you a price to build for you. X79 will have a longer life than z77 so would be my choice.

Thanks for your quick reply sir, How does the Radeon 7950 compare to the Nvidea 670 ?

It looks like the acer moniter you specified is a very good alternative to BENQ.
is the corsair 600w psu enough for my needs?
 
The psu will be plenty big enough, a fully modular one would be better.
In most games the 7950 will outperform a 670.

Cant really comment on the ACER, looks the part!!!
