BitFenix Comrade ATX Mid Tower Case
EVGA 500W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply

this build is for a gaming so one of my primary purchases will be the graphics card if you think i should change some parts all advice will be heeded

advice on what to get for missing parts my budget for pc is 600 pounds/800 euro i would hope to spend 200-250 pounds/euro on monitor keybord... (not including pc build) any tips on drivers setup and assembly would be greatly appreciated as this is my first time build. thank you

i live in ireland so no shipping from america or distant parts of europe if you can advise me on parts try to make sure i am able to get them once again thank you

not the gpu but 200 pounds for monitor keyboard... i can wait for a while if i need any extra money but i can easily get a keyboard and mouse for free so in the 200 pound sense i will be prioritizing the monitor
i do not know what size i would like preferably something that is reasonable in size i dont want something tiny but i dont need something massive for the moment about 23 inches (not sure something around that measurement) i would like to get a more landscape based monitor for playing mmorpg games but like i said i dont need something massive

Well, you can definitely get a monitor with £200 or 200 euros at 23 or 24 inches.

Here a selection:

This monitor I have bought for a second pc and the screen looks pretty good if you don't mind the cheap look of the product. IPS screen has great colours and less colour shift. I would recommend this if you don't mind the look of your monitor but only the screen.

On another note, make sure you get a gpu either before getting a monitor or at the same time since you need one to get anything to display on the monitor,

You should put the OS onto the SSD. You put videos, documents and pictures on the HDD since you only have 120GB on the SSD.
You can install programs on either the SSD or HDD. For games, put any that you open often that you want to load faster. The rest goes to the HDD.
You might have to micromanage depends on how much space you use but I personally can manage a 128GB SSD + 500GB HDD.

Good guide on installing Windows on the SSD:

With crossfire, you have to take in account of your power supply and if your motherboard supports it. Personally I like to have a single gpu where possible as not all games support crossfire so it only runs on one gpu.
Since you need a new psu in the future, 650W is fine for a single gpu. 850W is better for crossfire. 1000W is for higher end card crossfire like R9 290 CF.
Ultimately its down to you if you want to do crossfire since it is your money.


For drivers, before you install your OS, you want to get the latest drivers installed onto a USB. The CD drivers are normally outdated.
You would most likely need Audio driver,chipset driver, lan driver and USB drivers. The LAN drivers is probably the most important than the others. This will allow you to connect to the Internet via an Ethernet and you can download the drivers once installed.

You also need gpu drivers as well.
