I'm based in the UK and looking to build a new gaming PC but it's somewhat overwhelming finding parts and i don't really know where to get the best deals/how to make sure everything is compatible, so i want your help!
I was going to go down the CyberPower route but after reading so much about poor service etc. i've decided to take the plunge and do this myself, scary as I find it.
As a base guide to you, i'm looking at:
* Z87 mobo
* i5 4670k (Most likely OC'ing in a few months)
* either a single 1TB HDD or a small SSD and 500GB HDD
* adequate cooling (bear in mind i have never owned nor built a specialist PC before so is water cooling difficult to install?)
* GTX 760 2GB
* 8GB RAM
* Win7 64bit, wireless networking, on-board sound fine for now
* I also need a monitor (22-24 inch is fine, would like full HD).
I hope someone can help me, and maybe even put my mind at rest in terms of self building. I'm pretty good at these things but if i don't have clear instructions that explain all the different terminology i get stuck. Mainly though it's how to find the good deals in terms of sourcing parts that i'm stuck with.
Looking to begin buying and building as soon as i have a list of parts and places to buy them from.
Thanks
