Hello all!
This is my first time on here and I thought I would finally actually make a post rather than scroll through page after page of questions because im sure every person has their own individual problems.
Getting to the point! I am looking to buy a new, pre built, gaming pc. Now before you start throwing out hate about buying something prebuilt I have reasons for doing that.
1. I have no experience, knowledge, or any kinda help with building something from scratch I am not looking to buy parts that I have no idea if they will with each other or not and then find when it comes to the building part it doesn't work (again because I have no idea) no matter how many "tutorials" you get me to watch I will not get it right!
2. I don't have the time to really spend building the pc and most of the reasons in the first point above!
I am looking at 2 sites for this, the first one which i naturally turned too is overclockers which I seem to spend hours playing with their System configurator and coming out with various options. But the thing is I don't know exactly how much I need to spend to get the results im after.
To skip a few basic questions to come, im not looking to upgrade individual components on my current pc, its slowly dieing and I don't know how to fix it. That and its getting a bit old needs a new CPU and GPU and you name it.
I am looking for a pc with a budget of around £750 to a maximum of what I would say £950 at most because im not rich and this is already going to kill me financially.
With the pcs that I have been trying to build on the website, the price im ending up with is always coming out at some ridiculous price that I would never pay and honestly feel im being ripped off with. I am looking to play games such as erm well like Call of Duty Advanced Warfare, The latest Battlefield 4 game. My current setup is getting a bit warn out and cranky with me lots of errors and all sorts, god help me with lasting until I eventually get a new pc!
Just so people know what im kinda going for, I wanted to have 2 hard disks, the OS running off the SSD and then a 1 TB additional hard drive.
16 GB of Ram I mean I could go 8 GB and then add like another 4 GB in 2 x 2GB sticks or modules or whatever they are called! to make up 12 Which is what I have now. (probably the most advance part of my pc right now the RAM).
Graphics cards wise I have been selecting the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or the 960 when I am selecting the components.
Processor wise ive generally been selecting the Intel Core i5 4690K 3.5GHz Devils Canyon Quad Core Processor
Cooling, like the fans and stuff I am just selecting anything for the time being because I don't know what to pick
PSU its been normally the 550 watt option they have.
Sound card ive been selecting the creative soundblaster option (sound is important to me!)
Windows 8 normal would be my OS.
And of course the Mother board well again I don't know what I should get I do not understand the difference, I want a pc in short that I don't have to upgrade for quite some time at least upgrade say individual components anyways.
Like I said I want to find a system thats powerful and able to comfortably do what I have stated above and be able to handle just quite intense games for near future.
I don't know if someone perhaps wants to build one on the site for me and explain why they have done then maybe thats an option? In short I just need help.
This description box told me to be detailed with my questions and what I want so I hope that this helps If there is anything else that people need to know please ask me and il try to answer it! Bare with me though im not a genius I shoot people on pc games.
Many many many thanks in advance!
