Hi
I'm looking for some advice over a computer build which I'm hoping to put together soon. I've already got most of it planned out, I would just like to make sure that everything will work together and that I have all the ports and slots that I'm going to need.
Approximate Purchase Date: Hopefully tomorrow if this goes well.
Budget Range: £600-700
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming (SC2, Guild Wars 2 and likely Skyrim with the occasional FPS), internet surfing and general word processing use for my work.
Parts Not Required: Mouse, Keyboard, Monitor and Speakers.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: ebuyer is all I'm going to be using most likely
Country: England
Parts Preferences: Intel processor, then msi and other known brands for the rest.
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Monitor Resolution: 1920 x 1080
Additional Comments: I would like to play the games I mentioned smoothly on maxed out graphics or close enough.
So, here's the components I've decided upon:
CPU: Intel Core i5 3450 3.1GHz Socket 1155 6MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor
Mobo: MSI H77MA-G43 H77 Socket 1155 8 Channel HD Audio mATX Motherboard
GPU: MSI GTX 560Ti OC 1GB GDDR5 Dual DVI mini HDMI PCI-E Graphics Card
Memory: Crucial 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz Ballistix Sport Memory Kit CL9 (9-9-9-24) 1.5V
HDD: Seagate 500GB Barracuda Spinpoint F3 Hard Drive - 3.5" SATA-II - 7200RPM 16MB Cache - HD502HJ
Optical Drive: Sony AD-5280S-0B SATA DVD Optical Drive | OEM
PSU: Corsair 600W CX Series V2 PSU - 6x SATA 2x PCI-E
Case: Antec One Case
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium w/SP1 - Licence and media - 1 PC - OEM - DVD - 64-bit
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
