I'll be asking a few questions. They will be numbered for easy following! I've checked the forums and couldn't find a specific answer for my questions, so here it is!
1)
For UK users, which are the best sites to buy PC parts from? I've currently built a list of what I need and want but Amazon UK seems expensive compared to the US prices, if exchange rates are anything to go by.
2)
Will my decently large desktop PC case be sufficient to use to build my gaming PC in? I'm trying to save where I can. (I won't be using anything else from this PC, as it's pretty dated.)
3)
As a mainly RPG gamer; will the Sapphire AMD R9 380 Nitro Graphics Card & Intel Core Skylake Processor i5-6500/3.2 GHz with 8GB RAM be sufficient to run newer RPG's like Witcher 3, Fallout 4 and so on with decent settings? (I'm not overly fussed about having 40,000FPS, though I'd definitely like more than 30 on average)
4)
Running these RPG's... Will it require a cooling unit for the processors/graphics? I won't be playing higher than 1080p.
5)
If yes to 4, can anyone send me in the right direction to a good cooling fan. Preferably a quiet one.
That's all for now I believe.
Things To Know:
- My budget is around £600 (£650 at a push)
- On Amazon, my list of Processor, Graphics, RAM, Motherboard, Hard Drive and Power Supply has roughly come to £540.
Which leads me to another question actually
- Do I need anything else? (Aside from a case) I found this list online and I'm new to all this so I'm not sure on all the tech I need. Anything that boosts performance for a small fee will be good to note!
Thanks to all that decide to help. I apologise in advance for any grammar mistakes or punctuation mistakes that may be present. If you require any more details, do let me know.
[edit] with a bit of digging, I've managed to find the graphics card for £70 cheaper from an apparently trusted source.
