I'm looking to build a first rig, primarily for gaming (FSX in general). I need a little bit of help deciding what to go for. I have a budget of around £850-£900 all in. I will be using Win 7 home premium and I am looking to overclock either CPU to around 4.2GHz.
I have pre-picked two options on PCPartPicker as are as follows. I have not included cooling as I am unsure in what to choose as I'll be overclocking.
Rig 1
CPU: Intel i5-3570K
MoBo: AsRock Z77 Extreme 4 LGA1155
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 760 2GB
PSU: Corsair RM 750W
LG DVD/CD Optical Drive
Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" SSD
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
£730 (excluding Case, Cooling, OS, ect.)
Rig 1
CPU: Intel i5-4670K
MoBo: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming ATX LGA1150
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 760 2GB
PSU: Corsair RM 750W
LG DVD/CD Optical Drive
Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" SSD
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
£760 (excluding Case, Cooling, OS, ect.)
I would like to know whether it's best to go for the i5-4670K and whether the Graphics card is up to it. What case am I recommended to go for (budget wise). And finally, what other components would be needed (i.e. sound card, Wifi adapter).
Thanks!
