interesting...i was playing with your config on pcpartspicker and it came in to something like $300 less in the US, but it costs the same in the UK. i wonder if there are more builders here in the US than in the UK, as a proportion of people who are getting a new PC...

that's a bit overkill btw, you definitely dont need anything that powerful...






trust me, no matter how much you want a beast PC, you really dont need that. save £300 for something a little more budget oriented, youre not gonna be playing metro 2033 all day long...

this base config is much better:

Sorry I didnt read your first post!

I was just hoping to futureproof myself and get the best I can with the money im going to spend my original budget was £1300 but decided to drop it to £1100

the thing is that the cost to performance ratio goes down as you build cheaper. so generally cheaper gaming PCs are a better deal.

if you want to futureproof, get a good mobo, but otherwise you should downgrade everything else maybe except the CPU. that way you save the most money. if you want upgrade, you can always do it in the future...

What would your final recomedation be in regarsd to saving the most money I can I definately want to order from chillblast what about the Chillblast Fusion Striker:

You don't need the I7, drop it down to an I5 2500k, you also might not need the 6970, but as i say, it can't hurt, though if you want you can drop it down to a 6950 other then that it looks pretty ok

oh and a Hyper212+ evo would work just as good as the arctic cooler
