Hi there!
This is my first build and I have taken some advice from a PC enthusiast (my brother; I was wondering if there were any components that I have listed as part of my system that are worth changing? I am looking to keep my system at around the £1100 mark, so I do need to be (slightly) price conscious! The components list (thus far) is as follows:
-Cooler Master HAF XB Tower(you won't change my mind on this one, I LOVE it!)
-Asus Z87-PRO Motherboard
-Intel Core i5 4670K Quad Core CPU
-Gigabyte 7970 3GB AMD Radeon Graphics Card
-Corsair CMZ8GX3M2X2133C9R Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 2133 Mhz RAM
-Corsair Builder Series CXM 750W Modular 80 PLUS Bronze PSU
-Samsung 840 Series 120GB SSD
-LG Optical Drive (Basic)
-Western Digital 1TB Caviar Blue HDD
-Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler
-Cooler Master MegaFlow 200mm Case Fan
Also if there is anything else that I will need for my build that I might not know about, then please feel free to enlighten me!
I am also looking for a sub-£160, 23-24" monitor, so any suggestions on that would be awesome!
I have had some advice from a colleague suggesting that I should invest more in my motherboard; what do you think? Do try to suggest an even number of downgrades and upgrades, as I am trying to keep it around the same total
Thanks guys!
