Budget: Please read requirements below. I believe I can get these things for around 700 pounds?
I always buy price performance components. I always buy Intel CPU and Radeon Graphics. At the moment I am open to experiment with nVIDIA too.
Recently I moved to UK, so I am buying this new gaming PC for here. Computer I have at home is:
i5 3570k @ 4.3GHz - ASRock Z77 Pro4 - G.Skill 16GB DDR3 - Radeon 4850
I330 120GB SSD - F3 Spinpoint 2TB - Arkangel 850W
Radeon 4850 was such a good investment in 2008, I am impressed at how good that GPU is. Anyway components like CPU, MB, RAM and SSD were bought last year as an upgrade for Video editing and modeling.
I am writing this to show you at what range I am wishing to spend my money at the moment.
I work a lot so I didn't have time to research for successors of i5 3570k, z77 chipset etc.
What I am looking for at the moment is:
CPU: i7 4770K (or is there any direct successor for 3570k i5 CPU, like newest chip from intel?).
CPU cooler: some OK and quiet. I have Mugen Scythe at home, one of the best coolers ever.
MB: Some OK motherboard z87(or which one is newest chipset?) chipset for around 100-120 pounds, with good overclocking(not hardcore ocing) power supply architecture.
RAM: Something 16gb ddr3(maybe g.skill again or crucial, cellshock,...)
GPU: Very good value performance successor to my 4850 is 7850 at the moment, if we are talking about price, but I was looking at XFX 7950 or nVIDIA 660GTX. What say you here? I am not afraid to invest money for 7950 or 660gtx if its worth.
HDD: some SSD(128gb or 256gb) and 1TB HDD.
Power supply: whatever i need for this specification + to be quiet. For example my arkangel 850w is baby quiet.
PC CASE: Very important thing is space here. I always made a mistake with: didn't buy case with easy HDD installation access, and small room for motherboard. So I was looking at coolermaster HAF 922 or something similar now.
PC will be used for gaming, adobe creative suite, 3d modeling, web development etc.
Overclocking: in future some mild overclocking on cpu(i mean who doesn't overclock at least a little bit
)
PS should I wait for this Black Friday offers or Christmas offers? What is the best alternative to newegg here in UK?
Thanks a lot guys.
