Hi Guys, i'm sort of new to the whole PC building and gaming. I have had PS3 and the likes but just want that little more.

Thinking of building my own computer with the following spec. I would just like to know what uses think i haven't add a graphics card in as I don't know what one I should go for here is the spec:

1.Intel Core i5 4690K
2.MSI Z97I GAMING AC, Intel Z97,
3.600W Cooler Master B600 1x120mm Fan
4.500GB Seagate 2.5" Solid State Hybrid Drive SSHD Slim
5./Thermaltake Versa H23 Mid Tower Gaming Case with USB 3.0
6./8GB (2x4GB) Corsair DR3 XMS3, PC3-10600 (1333)
7./ Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO,
8./ LiteOn DL-8A4SH-25C

There's a few things missing but have most parts. Im looking for a machine that will out perform PS4. If I can build a machine for less please do tell

Many Thanks

What's your budget?
Does the build include the OS and the peripherals?

Looks fine but you need a power supply, a 600w will be good and to out do the ps4 you might want to look at gtx 770/780/780ti or r9 280/280x/290/290x

Hi I have the OS windows 7 and linking it up to my TV. Would like to spend £450/£500 without Graphics Card then maybe buy it at later stage. Think I would like to spend £150 on card.

Thanks

Yes think so I have been pricing and I can get all the above for around £340 excluding the Intel Core i5 4690K. Is that the processor I need to go for?

Thinking of the following card

Will I need the I5 4690k in order to run this card?

Thanks

Yes,definitely.The 4690K is a really powerful CPU and it can handle a GTX 780 Ti.

Do you know the best place to purchase most places in round £165? What about the graphic card would that do the job?


Is there any where I could save money on the following spec? Cheaper Motherboard

Overclockers.co.uk, 750ti or a r9 280 maybe, they have weekly sales that knock down prices by 50 pounds off gpus
