Budget Gaming PC Build(60+fps new games ultra 1080p?)

Solution


Should have added BB code on original post but at the time of posting the EVGA 780 I selected was about £25-30 cheaper than the 970. As the 970 is only marginally better than the 780 I figured it was worth going for the 780 due to this being a budget build.

If you follow the link on that mobo, it goes to a different one on Amazon i think.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but if I'm right, do you have any suggestions for mobo areound the same price?

Thanks

You're right, it does point to a different MoBo by the looks of it.

The MSI board I've added is far better. Supports faster RAM and has the z97 chipset instead of H97 which, were you to go for an unlocked CPU (K series), you could overclock the CPU.

EDIT: You may also want to consider the i5 4570 over the 4460 as its only £10 more and is clocked marginally higher when in turbo (3.6ghz vs 3.4ghz), which is better for gaming. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/c2dVLk
 


Just noticing that you have the video card as a gtx 780 for over 500... The GTX 970 he originally had picked is better and half the cost.
 

+1; I would not risk using a Corsair CX series power supply.
