Gaming Rig 2! advice and help please

ComputerMad · Sep 9, 2013

Hi guys! After all my nattering posts I made my first pc, it's absolutely fantastic. I mean, much much better than I expected (I'll upload photos in a couple of days, of the building) and basically I'm here to make another!

This time I have a slightly bigger budget and it's a surprise present for my dad's birthday, It'll be his first gaming pc and I want to make it a beast. I have £900 to spend.

Can anyone recommend a system, for me to build for him.
Looking to buy next week, already has monitor, needs keyboard and mouse, and an O/S.

Thanks guys!!

Should have mentioned, he's a big fan of CoD, Arma, basically very intensive games so the GPU and CPU need to be solid. Thanks

That one looks really good! Would you recommend a good gaming keyboard and mouse too?

JackNaylorPE · Sep 9, 2013

yes....it is....I have done several just like it. MoBo has garnered 22 Awards and counting. I like the case better each time I use it.

As far as peripherals....
ASUS VG248QE Black 23" 144 Hz Monitor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236313

I use the ones below a lot....not that there's anything special about em .......... tho I like the KB LCD for temp monitoring .... there's just nothing special about anything else.
