I'm looking to build a gaming rig after years in console wilderness.
Potential budget £700 - 1000, but lower end of that preferred...
Primarily I want to achieve a beefy gaming machine but without it being so noisy it's annoying. To that end I've made a shopping list of components with gestures made towards silence wherever possible.
Shopping list here: http://www.ebuyer.com/lists/list/515121
All priced on ebuyer for now but aiming to get as much as possible for less on ebay.
Main questions for those in the know:
- are there any obvious issues you can see with this rig? (temperature, power supply, compatibility)
- is it worth bumping the i5 to an i7? (Money vs impact I mean)
- any other silencing measures you can suggest?
- should I watch out for anything in particular buying pc components on ebay?
Really appreciate any help with this, it's been a good few years since I built my last rig!
***update - worth mentioning I plan on a pair of 4gb rams to make 8gb in the finished rig
