Hi, I'm Louis.
I live in the UK so parts are considerably more than US prices.
I want to be able to play AAA titles at a good quality and render out graphics and video.
I'm looking to build a new PC from new parts and parts I already own for around £400.
I want to be able to play AAA titles at a good quality and render out graphics and video.
I've put on together online and wanted opinions on it before I go ahead and buy the parts.
Attached is 2 pictures, one of all the PC parts another of all the new parts.

The motherboard you chose is terrible, and the video card is overpriced. You see you can get a better one for cheaper.

Thank you soo much, that is a lot better!
Is the GTX 960 better than the 950? if so why's the price difference there?
also would this rig be capable of running 3 monitors?
cheers :)

I already have a case, I'll probably get a new one but it isn't really part of the build itself.

I do agree on the other costs it will give,the motherboard and cooler although the prices are abit exaggerated,about 25 pounds each would cover it,still another 50 pounds extra.However imo can it give longer life to the pc and if i remember well CTurbo and i agreed to disagree about that :D.Right now is it of no use.
