How much can you spend and what will you be using the PC for?

Tudge · Feb 7, 2015

It Will Be For Gaming And Hopefully No More Than 1500

plywrlw · Feb 7, 2015

1500 dollars? There are lots of nationalities on the forums so knowing your currency helps a lot

You dont need to really spend 1.5k pounds thing for gaming. That build for 1k is very nice

Tudge · Feb 8, 2015

Also....
AMD A10 Series Quad Core 3.4GHz Accelerated Processor
But Seems Like The Intel Might Be Better

Tudge · Feb 8, 2015

I Looked On This Website Provided by Speed Demon But As I Said Its Been 20 Years And The Tech Has Advanced Way Past My Know How o Still Don't Know What Im Supposed To Put In The Case hell The Last Thing I Built Was A 486 lol Everyone Here Probably Too Young o Remember Those But Hey Ho There You Go..

At your price point, intel and nvidia will destroy amd

TofuLion · Feb 8, 2015

no, AMD is no good this year

you definitely want intel. i assume you need the display also? a little over the budget, but higher screen resolution.

Where I Live having Parts Sent To Me Isnt An Option As Theft Of Said Parts Is Inevitable So Given The List I Have Presented Can I Build A Decent Gaming Machine Or Not And What Else Would I need Apart From HD And Monitor?

TofuLion · Feb 8, 2015

then i would have to see a full list of available parts to make an educated recommendation

Bossyfins · Feb 8, 2015

Is there a website to the shop? If not, get the 6 core, or anything related to that, and yea, Its pretty hard to give a build, without a full sheet of avalible products.

Tudge · Feb 8, 2015

LoL That's What Ive been Asking What Do I need Other Than The Parts In The List?

The Shop Has No Website Its A Local Store Not Going The Pcworld Route That's For Sure

Bossyfins · Feb 8, 2015

Well.. The CPU doesnt work with the Mobo, and the PSU is pretty overkill. If you can post something with something like x79, and a 750 watt PSU, then I might be able to work a build

Tudge · Feb 8, 2015

We Have A Shop Here Called "Argos" That Sell Some Parts But Its A General Store Not A Computer Store So Not Much Use

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Browse/ID72/33400241/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7CTechnology%7C33006169/c_2/2%7C33006169%7CLaptops+and+PCs%7C33007795/c_3/3%7Ccat_33007795%7CDesktop+computer+components%7C33400241.htm

Tudge · Feb 8, 2015

overkill is a good thing I don't want to have to upgrade anything for at least six months after building this thing just want to come home from work and fire up a game without having to worry about any problems

Tudge · Feb 8, 2015

just Looked Though The Site I Provided And They Sell Everything The Little Shop Sells So If Anyone Can Look Though The Site And Tell Me The Best Parts To Get That Would Be A Great Help Im Not Too Worried About HD or Monitor Those Are Separate From The Budget But If I Can Do A Complete Build From Parts On That Site That Would Be Great

Still looking for more.

TofuLion · Feb 8, 2015

since the best graphics card offered is a r9 270x, you dont need an i7 or a z87. something like
i5-4440
any motherboard with a B85 chipset would work.
EVGA SuperNOVA 750 B2 Power Supply
two r9 270x's.
along with (i guess) 500 GB 840 EVO SSD
Corsair Vengeance Pro Memory Kit - 8GB
and Cooler Master HAF 912 Advanced Window - Black.

now take into consideration, this is not the best configuration you could get, just the best you could get from that site

consider finding a mailing address (say your work place or relatives home) where you don't have to worry about local thefts, in order to make a better configuration.

EDIT: go with the z87 it has more pci slots for better crossfire

Tudge · Feb 8, 2015

You Sir Are A Legend!! Thanks For Your Help Its Been Bothering Me For Some Time Now As I Don't Want To Waste My Time Buying A Pre Built Machine and Don't have A Clue Where To Stat these Days With The Tech Being What It Is..Quick Question Would The i7 Not Be Better To Get As I Don't Feel Like Upgrading in The Next Six Months?

garryash · Feb 8, 2015

some UK mail order suppliers deliver to local supermarkets/garages for people who are at work all day. Amazon used to deliver to my local co-op but not sure if they still do. Worth a check though as it will ave you £'s

TofuLion · Feb 8, 2015

either one would be good for more than six months. you don't need the i7 because it's more processing power than you need, and the one you selected actually isn't compatible with the motherboard you selected. you could get an i7 if you wish, but you honestly don't need it for 270x. like i said, you should try to find a way to get a better graphics card (or two) than the 270x
