** UPDATED **
Hey Guys,
So... I have finally got some funding together and a rough plan of components for my very first PC build, and to be honest, I am very excited about the whole ordeal!
Please take a look at the components below and let me know what you think? If you think it can be improved, or something is pointless, then let me know!
PC usage:
Light/Medium gaming (Nothing new out though - mostly classics)
Light image editing
Already Bought.
CASE = NZXT Phantom 410
PSU = CoolerMaster 520W
Needing opinions.
CPU = Intel Core i5 2500K 3.3GHz - £169.98
MOBO = Asus P8Z68-V/GEN3 - £121.99
RAM = Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz Red Vengeance - £40.00
GPU = Asus GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB GDDR5 - £159.96
Cooler = Corsair Hydro Series H60 - £49.95
What do you think? Also - is the i5-2500K really worth the extra £70 over the i3-2120?
