PC Build - up to £800 (to incl. water cooling system)

Asdfg13245 · Oct 8, 2016

Hey all,

Don't know much about builds, so looking for some specialists that can help me out on this one.

Got all necessary peripherals (mouse, keyboard, headset, monitor).

Also, could you guys please include the price of the water cooling system alone? Don't want to sacrifice perfomance too much.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!

I'll assume this is a gaming build? A water cooler does nothing for you and would be a waste of money.

Yes, sorry forgot to mention that I'm looking for a gaming build.

Why would a water cooler be a waste of money?

CTurbo · Oct 8, 2016

Water cooler adds nothing that a similarly priced air cooler wouldn't add. The i5 in the build above comes with an air cooler and it's perfectly fine.

I know it's solved but you could get a better cpu cooler in for the same money if you wanted to,an aircooler though,

All suggestions are welcome, I have no experience in making pre-builds... I see you have changed the PSU? Will 450W be enough for all of the components?

CTurbo · Oct 9, 2016

450w will work, but it cuts it closer than I prefer. The cooler is unnecessary.

Vic 40 · Oct 9, 2016

A 450watt will be fine with those parts.
