Hi, thanks, got it, i think i will do without ssd.

I have seen your build, thank you for the help, just as an example i want to add two of my build and i want your opinion, which build is best or what can be changed, there are already two examples yours and a person above you, also here two of mine, please let me know what you think

nah mate,the 2 builds we listed before are both a lot better - mainly due to the 960 (is nearly twice as powerful as a 750ti),youll gain far more from the 960 than you will the clock speed increase on the i3 you picked.

the 7850k you picked is weaker than the 860k from my build ( you pay extra for the integrated graphics which you dont need)

if youre not bothered about an ssd you can drop the one from mine & get the whole build at less than 400 quid.

the other i3 build listed performs a bit better on the cpu front & will allow an upgrade to an i5 in the future but obviously costs more.

Ok, i've got you now, so, if we take the ssd, which is 63£, where can you advise to use it, or maybe to improve or change anything for that amount? thanks
