Last response: in Systems

Hello

This is my first time building a PC

i want to build a PC that can handle powerful games (e.g. Far cry 3 etc.) with mid~high settings

i hope the specialists here rate my build and suggest some improvements

i live in the UK and have a budget of about 900£

most of these part are taken from Overclockers

Your build looks solid. http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=... I don't see any conflicts other than the power supply you picked isn't going to support a 2nd gtx 660 ti for sli. You'd need a 750W at least.


Alright, i found some on overclockers.

Is this enough? is there a difference between the two ?

Corsair Builder Series CX 750W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply (CP-9020015-UK)
Corsair Builder Series CX 750w Modular '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply (CP-9020061-UK)

^might be worth while to get a z77 board


Gigabyte Z77-DS3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard [GA-Z77-DS3H]

Is this a good one ?

Quote:
the modular one means you install the cables as plug and play style when you need them. It'll allow you to have a cleaner case.


I do not understand that.

i still need a step-by-step building tutorial.

Does that mean it is easier to install -better to buy- ?

The modular ones mean you can choose how many cables you want plugged into the PSU depending on how many devices you need power for, o you can potentially less cables cloggin up your case

Yes the gigabyte z77 is a good one since gigabyte has good quailty with aboveaverage vrm
