I wanna build a pc with a budget of £600.However I need help picking out every thing from PSU to Pc case.I wanna be able to run demanding games like skyrim and new games aswell.All help is appreciated. I was thinking of starting with i5 3370k.... but thats about it.

[Doncrysis]

Thank you. Is that all thats needed? I am a noob.

 

[djangoringo]

Yes, this will run any game at high settings, with an i5+7950, the rest of the stuff needed for the pc, with quality parts.

 

[Doncrysis]

What about ultra?

 

[djangoringo]

Yes, even ultra, the 7950 overclocked can run it all.

 

[Doncrysis]

Does this include the graphics card etc and also how do you overlcock. Also is there anyway to cheapen it a bit to inclue an OS.

 

[djangoringo]

Yes, it includes gfx card, you can overclock the card with several programs like msi afterburner, trixx, etc.

Here's the updated list with the os :

[Doncrysis]

any good websites for putiing this all together. And is this all thats needed?

 

[Doncrysis]

How many usb hdmi slots etc has this got?

 

[djangoringo]

Yes, it is, the motherboard already got the sata cables, the cpu already brings a cooler(stock one), you have all the parts needed.
The 7870 has one hdmi 1.4a, two mini display ports and a dual dvi link.
It has all the outputs needed.

 

[Doncrysis]

Is this the best possible build for the money?
Also how long will this build last me for and is there space to upgrade in future as some you cant?
ASlso any good tutorials of putting this all together.

 

[djangoringo]

The i5 quadcore will last, but no one knows how much for sure, there's no such thing as "future proof", the 7870 is a good card for the money, specially when it's the tahiti le, you have a good quality psu(xfx 550).

[Doncrysis]

Does this need Ssd..

 

[Doncrysis]

Can wireless keyboard be connected to this.

 

[djangoringo]

Yes, of course it can be connected, for this kind of budget a ssd is expendable, a hdd is suffice.
