Building a £1,300 gaming pc not sure what parts to get & selling MSI

trigger1881 · Apr 16, 2015

Hey guys just wanted to ask which parts you would recommend for a £1300 pound gaming pc I don't need a HDD or Os because I have them but I do need a new monitor and keyboard so include them in the budget thanks!

Also selling my last years MSI leopard how much do you think I could sell it for? I'm also throwing in a razor mouse a 17" protective case and it will come in original box and packaging.

This build can't be overclocked (cpu-wise) but it doesn't need to. the zeon is equal to an i7.
A really good 850w psu which can support another 980.
Good mobo.
Nice RAM.
Cheap keyboard, mouse and optical drive.
Awesome ssd.
Freakin' full tower case!
Good monitor.

hope this helped!

Thanks guys also why the xeon processor? ?

CrimsonLuke · Apr 16, 2015

I was wondering that... Not very cost effective are they?

LucoTF · Apr 16, 2015

It's basically a cheaper locked i7. Not necessary for gaming, unless you're also streaming your games in full hd or something

LucoTF · Apr 16, 2015

I'd like to add that my build has the best monitor by far, 27" 1440p aww yiss

trigger1881 · Apr 16, 2015

Yh really love that monitor

sora · Apr 16, 2015

LucoTF's build is possibly the best 1200 quid build out there!
