£2000 Budget Build - Need Suggestions

DavidBrown1997 · Nov 15, 2013

Alright i have around £2000 and i want someone who is good to be able to list me a PC together

Below is some of the details

Overlocking : Yes i would like the ability.
SLI/Crossfire : Im not fussed which if it is 2 GPU's or a single card just want the best possible for the resolution which i will be using which is dual 1080 monitors. Note: the monitors are not needed in the £2000 budget that is purely for the tower.
Purchase date: Within the next month
What will i use it for? : Primarily gaming but also live streaming to twitch via Xsplit which is CPU Heavy so a i7 is kind of needed.
OS : Not needed but a recomendation on what i should use at the bottom would be nice.

You can definitely just go all in for this one dude. Im going to PM you and help you out if thats alright.

Dual monitors isn't ideal for many games, I would recommend 1,3 or 5 monitors.

DavidBrown1997 · Nov 16, 2013

1 for the game, 1 for the side monitor for streaming stuff. I aint using them both to game on.

You able to change that case to a good mid case instead of a full size tower? They seem well to big for what is needed, maybe a NZXT?

And that cooler would it let me overclock that i7 to 4Ghz+?

Ronaldspiers · Nov 16, 2013

yeah i just shoved that case in randomly.

What about the NZXT phantom 410? Or fractal design R4? Just some choices.

And yeah the Noctua D14 is one of the best air coolers on the market, it would allow you to go higher than 4GHz if you wanted. It is pretty huge though so whatever type of RAM you decide to go for make sure it is compatible with that cooler. i.e. no tall heatspreaders like Corsair Vengeance ram has.

Noctuas official site has a RAm compatibility list http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=compatibility_ram_gen&products_id=34&lng=en

DavidBrown1997 · Nov 16, 2013

I have never installed a after market cpu cooler would i have trouble installing that noctua?

I added the Phantom 410 into the list do you think it will all fit?

Ronaldspiers · Nov 16, 2013

Yeah it will fit in the 410. It's not too hard to install the cooler. There are videos on youtube and guides on toms hardware on hwo to install heatsinks.

DavidBrown1997 · Nov 16, 2013

Would you recomend it over the H100i?

Ronaldspiers · Nov 16, 2013

DavidBrown1997 :

In honesty im not too familiar with the h100 series. Have a look at this video and see if the H100 series would be better for you.

DavidBrown1997 :

I would, the Phantom is a solid case
