Hi guys, first time building a PC. As title says it'll be for gaming on max settings. Happy to spend up to around £850.
Approximate Purchase Date: As soon as possible
Budget Range: Up to £850 (A bit more is fine)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, skype, videos
Are you buying a monitor: No
Do you need to buy OS: Yes - prefer windows 7
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon UK
Location: South London, Surrey, England
Parts Preferences: Would prefer intel for CPU
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution:1920 x 1200
Additional Comments: *Very important* needs to stay on for long periods of time without overheating (with just skype running) and be as quiet as possible.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My desktop PC is outdated and would prefer to build a new one than buy one
I've seen some parts already, but I'm not 100% sure. I'm also not sure if all parts are compatible etc. Need to know what kind of heatsink, RAM, optical drive, case, psu to get and stuff. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
