Hi! I'm looking to build my own PC for the first time after my current PC died an untimely death, and would appreciate any comments/suggestions. Thanks so much in advance!
Approximate Purchase Date: asap
Budget Range: around £1500 after rebates and shipping
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, internet
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: everything except optical drive
Do you need to buy OS: Yes - thinking of getting Windows 8 Home
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: no real preference - I used partpicker?
Location: London, UK
Parts Preferences: I would like an Intel CPU
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1200
Additional Comments: Would ideally like it to still be able to play new games that comes 4-5 years from now. Am playing Rome:Total War 2 and looking forward to Witcher 3
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: The PSU on my old computer, which I've had for 5 years, broke.
Include a list of any parts you have already selected with descriptively labeled links for parts.
CPU - Intel Core i7-4820K (http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80633i74820k)
GPU - I'm seriously thinking of taking advantage of the sale going on for the AMD Radeon R9 295 X2 (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-350-SP) Otherwise . . . 290x or 780Ti to save me some money?
I made this largely based on reading posts in the forum here but have no idea if the motherboard, cooling, psu, etc are a) good choices, or b) would work well together
