• £700 Gaming Build
    4 replies, posted
Right guys, I am planning on building a computer for gaming by the end of April. This will be my first computer build so was looking for some help in selecting components. I don't want an SSD right now, although I will upgrade to one some point in time. Also, I will be playing mainly BF3/4 at 1920x1080, preferably at the highest settings. I will be looking to overclock in the future. I realise the new Haswell processors will be coming out sometime soon but will the performance increase be significant enough to justify the wait? From doing some research this is the list of parts that I have came up with: [img]http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/5503/screenshot20130401at164.png[/img] For the case I was thinking about the Zalman Z11 - [url]http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007C008L2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE[/url] So, what do you guys think of this build? And can it be improved in any way? And as I said, I won't be ordering till the end of April, so plenty of time to decide and take into consideration any recommendations for components. Thanks for the help.
If you're gonna wait, you might as well wait a bit more for Haswell as it uses a entirely new socket.
[QUOTE=Killervalon;40119259]If you're gonna wait, you might as well wait a bit more for Haswell as it uses a entirely new socket.[/QUOTE] The reason I'm waiting is because my exams finish at the end of April. After that I am free from uni for over 4 months, so I wanted to use that time to build my computer and get into pc gaming, rather than have to wait for Haswell.
About to order these parts: [img]http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/8025/screenshot20130404at233.png[/img] What do you guys think? Will order CPU (3570K) and GPU (MSI 7950) from another site later.
Looks good to me, hope you enjoy it
