£800 PC Build - Need Opinions!

Hello all,

Please find the link to my possible PC build below. I would order parts separately and build myself. Anyone recommend anything slightly differently?

Thanks!

 

are you looking at overclocking the cpu? if not don't bother with the K model, if you are overclocking it then maybe a closed loop water cooler?

GPU wise there are rumours that a GTX 960ti is going to be making its way soon if you want to wait for that maybe, no idea how much it would be though, maybe something like £200? I dnoo.

Edit: cpu is £175 I found on amazon and without the K is £5 cheaper, if its the same with PC Specialist then keep the K.

 

Hey Myles,

Long time no see xD Hope you're all good

I would probably overclock as using it for gaming. What kinda closed loop do you think? Corsair H80 or something?

Are there any rumours for release dates cus if it's like 6 months I really cba to wait xD

 

I don't know you would have to do some searching, if I find anything I'll post it, keep with the K then and it all depends on how much you want to spend on one, best thing to do is look at reviews, I have a H100i which is about £90-£100 when new, you have the H100i GTX now for same price, look at comparisons if you want to get best cooling for your money, I like corsair and find them reliable so I tend to stick with them.

But I have also heard great reviews on other ones as well so don't limit yourself, research

also do you need RAM at 2133mhz? like do you need that from RAM or can you lower the speed to like 1600mhz and use that for maybe even a GTX 970? again research is key, components depend on what you want out of your computer, are you going to use the hardware to its max potential? or is it just going to be there for a "just in case" moment?

I just went stupid and went all out on mine, but I'm now no longer restricted to what I can do, and have used everything to its max potential, really I need more RAM but just got a 4K monitor cause why not XD

Hope that helps a bit

 

Yea that helps loads, I just want a PC that can play modern games with extremely good graphics. I went all out on my last PC & spent £2,500 :s

I will have another look around to see what I can find researching the different things.

 

If you spent that much on your last surely it is future proofed for at least 2-3 years! when did you get it and what spec?

 

Iv'e sold it now! I wanted a new car haha! I can't honestly remember the spec I'll try find it somewhere though :3

 

How on earth is that pc costing you £800?
I'll do a quick build 1 sec.

EDIT: Finished(basically the same as the one you linked). Tell me if i've missed anything, to be honest I could slap a cooler in there, evo 212 is good for an air one

Total cost for this basket is £724.79

 

Thanks for your input @Bobscrotum

I will take a look more in depth when I'm home but I can straight way see that the difference in price isn't too much. On my spec I had slightly faster RAM and a case I absolutely loved! Slightly better mobo if I'm not mistaken to? Could you create a build for me but around the case I selected in the my spec? That would be very helpful!

 

I'll add the case in to that build, motherboard is the exact same mate
(I have the same one, installed it this morning)
That case seems a bit much for what it is mate, I understand you wanna see all your gear but if im honest it'd be cheaper to just buy a similar sized case and cut a hole into the side and add some Perspex hahaha!

If you can find a similar case but a bit less then I'd say you're onto a winner of a build, but i feel that £130 for a case is a bit much, but my opinion, does take the budget over
