Hello

I have been toying with the idea of finally building my own gaming pc. I have looked around and chosen a few systems and parts which i would like but seem to be delaying this. I thought I would get a fresh pair of eyes on this.

So the question is, if you had £900 GBP to spend on a full gaming system (Rig, Monitor, Mouse, Keyboard) (I do not need an operating system) what would you choose?

I will mainly be playing BF4 on this system.

Many thanks for your help in advance!

Thanks for your reply and help!

It is always good to see how others would approach the same budget. What would you thoughts be on an AMD build - fx 8350 alongside one of the R9 cards?

Thanks!

This will definitely give you some good performance. Sorry it's a little over budget, I just really wanted to get you a Razor mouse.

Nice one, thanks for your help on this. It is nice to see what others would do with the same budget. Definitely food for thought!

I will be looking to build this in January so will no doubt post again to see if there are any other ideas/opinions on this nearer the time.

Many thanks for your help!

Thanks for your reply also Computer_GUY. I already have an operating system so this comes in under budget!

I should have asked earlier, I already have a Corsair CX500M PSU which I currently unused. I thought this wouldn't be enough for a gaming rig - looking at the PSU you suggested would this also work?

Would the Razor mouse make all that much difference compared to the A4tech mouse already suggested?

Thanks fro your help!

No offence taken but for your information, I do have an advanced knowledge of computers and I don't suggest "random parts". Perhaps you should mind your own business or target someone who is completely inexperienced. I have joined this forum to help as many people as I can, not to criticize other peoples suggestions. I hope that you have the same mindset.
