Hi Guys I'm looking for a Gaming PC build but with no Graphics card (I will be using my old one and saving up for a GTX 580 after the build.), no OS, no monitor, no mouse and keyboard. just the PC build. So far: Motherboard (£155.62): Asus P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3, Intel Z68, S 1155, DDR3, SATA III - 6Gb/s, SATA RAID, PCIe 3.0 (x16), D-Sub/DVI-D/HDMI, ATX CPU (£174.18) : Intel Core i5 2500K Unlocked, S1155, Sndy Bridge, Quad, 3.3GHz, HD3000 IGP 850Mhz, 6MB Cache 95W Retail RAM (£58.56): 8GB (2x4GB) Corsair DDR3 Vengeance Racing Red, PC3-14900 (1866), Non-ECC, CAS 9-10-9-27, XMP, 1.5V Case (£129.99): Corsair 600T Graphite Series Limited Edition White Mid Tower Gaming Case with Side Window Optical Drive (£51.58): LG 10x Blu-ray Reader, 16x DVD±R, 8x +RW, 6x -RW, 12x RAM - Retail Hard drive (£92.52): 1TB Western Digital WD10EARX Caviar Green, SATA 6Gb/s, IntelliPower, 64MB Cache, 8ms, Quiet Power Supply(PSU) (£129.96) : 850W PSU, OCZ Technology ZX Series ZX850W-UN, Modular, 92% Eff', 80 PLUS Gold, SLI/CrossFire, EPS 12V, Quiet Fan, ATX TOTAL: £809.15 Please can you tell what I should change? or Tell me if i should go and buy this? Thanks
Depending on cost i would go for the ASRock Z68 Extreme3 gen3 mobo. Also in my opinion, any HD that's "green" is a slow piece of crap. You don't need 850W, not even with a singular GTX580.
Why on earth do you keep insisting on buying stuff which mostly falls out of our recommendation in these threads you've created? £800 without graphics card is: Motherboard: [url=http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Motherboards/Intel+1155+Z68+(B3)/Asrock+Z68+Extreme3+Gen3+Intel+Z68+(REV+B3)+Socket+1155+DDR3+PCI-Express+Motherboard?productId=46883]ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3[/url] [B]£113.52[/B] CPU: [url=http://www.scan.co.uk/products/intel-core-i5-2500k-unlocked-s1155-sandy-bridge-quad-33ghz-hd3000-igp-850mhz-6mb-cache-95w-oem]i5 2500k[/url] [B]£166.98[/B] RAM: [url=http://www.scan.co.uk/products/8gb-(2x4gb)-corsair-ddr3-pc3-10666-(1333)-non-ecc-unbuffered-cas-9-9-9-24-15v]8GB Corsair DDR3 PC3-10666 (1333)[/url] [B]£30.96[/B] Cooler: [url=http://www.scan.co.uk/products/noctua-nh-d14-dual-radiator-and-fan-quiet-cpu-cooler]Noctua NH-D14[/url] [B]£64.18[/B] Optical Drive: [url=http://www.scan.co.uk/products/lg-10x-blu-ray-writer-16x-dvdr-8x-plusrw-6x-rw-12x-ram-oem-plus-s-w-bh10ls38auau]Blu-ray Writer[/url] [B]£64.78[/B] [b]Or[/b] [url=http://www.scan.co.uk/products/samsung-writemaster-sh-s222ab-bebe-22x-dvdr-12x-dvdr-dvdplusrw-x8-rw-x6-sata-black-oem]Standard DVD writer[/url] [B]£13.55[/B] Hard drive: [url=http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1tb-samsung-hd103sj-spinpoint-f3-sata-3gb-s-7200rpm-32mb-cache-89ms-ncq]1TB Samsung HD103SJ Spinpoint F3[/url] [B]£90.12[/B] Power Supply: [url=http://www.scan.co.uk/products/650w-psu-corsair-enthusiast-series-650txv2uk-85-eff-80-plus-bronze-sli-crossfire-eps-12v-quiet-fan-a]Corsair Enthusiast 650w TX V2[/url] [B]£71.58[/B] [b]Or[/b] [url=http://www.scan.co.uk/products/850w-psu-corsair-enthusiast-serie-cmpsu-850txv2-85-eff-80-plus-bronze-sli-crossfire-eps-12v-quiet-fa]Corsair Enthusuast 850w if planning to SLI GTX 580 in the future[/url] [B]£95.82[/B] Case: [url=http://www.scan.co.uk/products/corsair-600t-graphite-series-limited-edition-white-mid-tower-gaming-case-with-side-window-w-o-psu]Corsair 600T White Graphite Series Mid Tower Case[/url] [B]£138.72[/B] Total cost: [B]£765.02[/B] maximum. Just as a note I chose the case and blu-ray drive because it's clear it's something you wanted. You could downgrade the drive and case and save more money so you can put it elsewhere such as a [url=http://www.scan.co.uk/products/64gb-crucial-m4-slim-7mm-25-ssd-sata-iii-6gb-s-mlc-flash-read-500mb-s-write-95mb-s-35000-iops]64GB SSD[/url] boot drive or even towards that GTX580 (you're better off getting a GTX 570 for the price of it).
