Hey guys!
Sorry for lack of information, I will mainly play games at 1920x1280. No CAD or 3D modeling. Do you really think that a CPU cooler is necessary? If not then with the money saved the 7850 could be upgraded to http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-185-MS
If so, the 7850 is great for overclocking

 

[Fire_fly]

The above builds will be fine for 1280p gaming (the Monitor specced are only 1080p). But they may need updating as the weekly offers have changed.

The CPU cooler is a good idea if you want to overclock your CPU to over 4GHz. One of those £30 cooler should get you to around 4.4 - 4.6GHz.

The 7850 overclocks very well, but like all overclocking it is a lottery as to if you get a good chip or not.

IMPRESSIVE! i didn't think it was possible to build such a beast for that £900

 

[linwelin]

save a little bit extra and dont buy a cooler, just use the one that comes with the CPU, its perfectly fine unless you wish to overclock, but you have no need to do that with an i5

 

[Idleman]

You can always get an ssd and a cooler at a later time, when funds permit.

[ActiveNinja]

Hey guys!
I've pondered over the builds and I'd rather stick with the 7850.
Now, idleman, explain "b-grade": reliability, warranty, performance?
So far I like Idleman's and Doomedspeed's builds.

 

[ConnorJoshua]

Hey guys!
explain "b-grade": reliability, warranty, performance?

All b-grade means is that it was sent back, the reasons can be various. Like: the user didn't want it; warranty repair etc. They are all normal cards and will all be reliable. The will have normal warranty. They usually have things missing and can come in plain boxes

 

[Idleman]

The "B" grade board may or may not have some accessories missing. It comes with an OCUK 6 month warranty and after that, what ever remains remains on the Gigabyte warranty.

 

[ActiveNinja]

So far Doomed Speed's build is my favourite but a different build has been suggested to me:
1x #259863: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium w/SP1 - Licence and media - 1 PC - OEM - DVD - ... -
1x #284663: Hanns.G HK241DPB TFT LCD FULL HD 23.6" DVI Monitor with Speakers -
1x #342873: Samsung SH-222BB 22x DVD±RW DL & RAM SATA Optical Drive - OEM Black -
1x #349747: Sapphire HD 7850 2GB DVI HDMI Dual Mini DisplayPort PCI-E Graphics Card -
1x #248767: Corsair 4GB DDR3 1600mhz Vengeance Memory Module CL9 1.5V Non-ECC Unbuffered -
1x #233740: Coolermaster Elite 430 All Black Interior Mid Tower Case with Side Window -
1x #257232: Corsair TX 650W V2 PSU - 80plus Bronze Certified -
1x #344706: Seagate 500GB Barracuda Spinpoint F3 Hard Drive - 3.5" SATA-II - 7200RPM 16... -
1x #251596: Intel Core i5 2500K 3.3GHz Socket 1155 6MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor -
1x #281367: Asus P8Z68-V LX Socket 1155 Onboard graphics output 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherbo...
It roughly comes to £800
My main worry is that the OS is OEM, would recommend this or not? And would you rather choose this one to Doomed Speed's or Trigger's minus the SSD

 

[LukieBoy007]

Doomed's one is the better build imo.

 

[Idleman]

Don`t forget the prices have changed on the components in a lot of these specs, making them more expensive.
