Hey there,
My first post so be nice!
I have always been into Gaming so I've got a bit of money now and I am going to build my own gaming rig I have a few friends who can help me so I'm not worried on that behalf.
Anyway I'm going to put all of my components on here and see if you guys think it is good value for money and if you feel any improvements could be made. I would also like to know if this system would run games on ULTRA. Thanks in advance
Any contributions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Joe.
Components:
Coolermaster HAF 932 - £98.83
Asus P8P67-M - £110.00
Corsair Enthusiast TX V2 CMPSU-650TXV2UK 650W Power Supply - £66.78
Windows 7 Home (64 bit) £60.00
ASUS XONAR DG SOUND CARD *OEM* £22.78
Seagate SV35.5 500GB Hard Drive £58.20
Kingston 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz £34.16
Intel i5 2550k, CPU £172.98
2GB Power Color Radeon HD 7850 £202.03
Total £825.xx
Few Questions:
1. Is the Power supply decent and would it support future Crossfire 7850's?
2. Is it worth paying £30 extra to get an i7 2600k?
This is all just prices from Scan. Hopefully I will be able to knock £10 of each of the components if I shop around. Obviously the case is my preference so price isn't too much of an issue on that. I just like that case. I will also be running on a 1920 X 1020 display.
