Need help! 1700 pounds COMPLETE gaming pc

Begons · Oct 29, 2013

Hello. My name is Carl and I need help to build WHOLE gaming pc (budget is 1700 £)
So, I am looking for good monitor 24"(no more than 5 ms response), keyboard, mousepad, good SSD equal to 120 GB, 850 PLUS silver or gold PSU, case with good ventilation. Other parts are up to you.
Thanks! All prices in pounds.

Yeah, also i need Haswell CPU i5 and mobo with letter Z**; GPU NVIDIA GTX 770/780 and in the future i will upgrade my PC with additional video card (maybe next year)

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/1ZjfQ like an example

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1QRrW i forgot to add the monitor and stuff for mouse i suggest steelseries sensei (50$) Steelseries QCK mousepad (15$) and the PSU is TOO DAMN HIGH for a build thats 1600$ And the monitor i suggest the ASUS VX238H (150$).

Thank you for answer, but could you read my topic again? i updated it.
What do you think?

Agent69 · Nov 1, 2013

i dont know if i can find a cheap 24" monitor, and the monitor is 23" and 1MS Response and built in speakers. Thats luxury. But anyway http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1W9NR i found a monitor thats seems alright. I converted it and it seems to be around the 1600$ mark. This beast should let you play BF4 on ultra if you had a monitor that awesome.

Begons · Nov 7, 2013

Sorry for too long reply. Now, i need something around 2000 dollars and same periphery(24" monitor, and keyboard)

sacara21 · Nov 7, 2013

2000 USD? Because 1700 pounds is is roughly 2700 USD right now. And if you meant 2000 pounds thats 3200 USD.

Well Im going to go with 2000 USD.

There is room in price lists if you want to put GTX780
Keyboard and mouse:- i suggest you to buy from local market coz warranty issues are bad with shipments of small parts.

Note:- If your focus is on gaming the don't go for i7 its an overkill and waste of money. go for i5 for high end gaming and AMD too.

No reason to pay that much for a rig only to purchase last year's hardware. Mouse mats are an absolute waste of money. Plus that build is in US dollars, you need UK pounds. This is what you should do for this budget:

- Top of the line case and PSU
- No expensive, overpriced gimmicky motherboard

This should run VERY well especially thanks to the gtx 780ti. You can run anygame at ultra and probably BF4 on 1600P with 30 frames or so, but you have a 1080p monitor so i wouldnt go that far. Its suppose to consume 500w but i got a 750 just incase you wanted to overclock

This should run VERY well especially thanks to the gtx 780ti. You can run anygame at ultra and probably BF4 on 1600P with 30 frames or so, but you have a 1080p monitor so i wouldnt go that far. Its suppose to consume 500w but i got a 750 just incase you wanted to overclock

Thank you. However, very good gpu and cpu is not important for me (i am looking for last haswell i5 and gtx 770 4gb / 780 (not ti)
Another thing: THIS monitor is too bad ( need 24" and <=5ms; and at least 170 pounds but no more than 200 pounds) What do you think? Thank you so much.

There is room in price lists if you want to put GTX780
Keyboard and mouse:- i suggest you to buy from local market coz warranty issues are bad with shipments of small parts.

Note:- If your focus is on gaming the don't go for i7 its an overkill and waste of money. go for i5 for high end gaming and AMD too.

Thank you for so full answer, but i need prices in pounds. I am sure that i will use your ideas and rigs

1.http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1YXDg 1143.05 Pounds

2.http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1YXIf 1081.06 Pounds

3.http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1YXKC 1104.80 Pounds

Any kind of VAT or Sales tax is not included in prices but after including that even when buying from local market prices will not reach even 1400 pounds

have fun with your 300

This is what I would do here. Leaves room for SLI down the road. If you want stick with a reference 780 ti from Asus or EVGA, doesn't matter. Either way though, I say go with the 780ti. Right now its the fastest GPU on the market.

Wait, a good GPU and CPU are essential for gaming, as for the monitor, replace the 780 ti's with regular 780's and get an Asus 24 inch 1080p monitor http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-monitor-vg248qe
