First Time Gaming PC Build £2000?

[Terry_Mc]

Hey all, first time post I have been looking at some of the feedback people have been given and thought it would be great if some people could help me out.

I want to build a gaming PC for no more then £2,000 if it can be helped I have already had a look in to some parts but I don't know if they are good are bad so I would like some suggestions / opinions.

PC Parts List:

[Case] Corsair Obsidian 900D - £286.78
[Mobo] Asus Rampage IV Extreme - £314.15
[RAM] 16GB (2x8GB) Corsair DDR3 - £170.59
[PSU]850W Enermax Revolution 87+ - £118.62
[CPU]Intel Core i7-4770K, 1150, Haswell - £259.40
[SSD]240GB OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS Edition - £107.09
[HDD] 3TB Toshiba x2 - £154.32
[GPU]3GB Asus GTX 780 Ti, 28nm, - £558.94

Grand Total: £1989.85

I currently have a AlienWare X51 [GTX 660] yes I know over priced but it was my first "Gaming PC" and it runs most games on max @1080p 50-60FPS except I think that now next gen is out it will start to struggle playing at max settings at 1080p. I have never built a computer before so I don't know if the parts will be correct but from looking so far they all seem fine. Or would it just be worth buying a PC from OverClockers.co.uk such as this one. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-428-OE

Also is it worth buying a Titan 6GB vs 780ti 3GB is it worth buying a Titan for the long run or just keep with a 780ti.



Thanks in advance.

Hi. Save some money and go with a decent PSU. You don't need 850w. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-ss760xp2 Other than that, it looks good. Stay with the 780Ti With the 780Ti, I think the Titan will become a high priced relic. The performance of the 780Ti is comaparable to that of the Titan. As for the case, this one will save you some money but give you excellent airflow options: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-case-rc942kkn1

Unless you are going to do any high-end video editing the 780TI will be fine (And even better in some cases) than the Titan.

Thanks for your suggestions I have added and changed a few things,

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/29z0O

one last question I get this message at the bottom of the screen. "G.Skill Trident X Series 32GB (4x 8gb) DDR3-2400 memory operation voltage of 1.65v exceeds the intel Hasweel CPU recommended maxamum of 1.5v+5%"

Should I change the Ram to a diffrent kind, I know 32GB is over kill but I want to be able to so HD video editing as well as use Photoshop at the same time thanks

No. It will run at 1600 Mhz which is the Native speed of the ram. You can go into XMP in the BiOS and change that. The Memory controller is in the CPU these days and the reason you gat that message. Once the memory has been OC'd to 2400 MHz, then you will be fine ( I am running 2133 Mhz in here and got the same thing ). You will get that message on any memory over 1600Mhz. Nothing really to worry about.
