Hey guys I had a thread here last year about my proposed PC, I was thinking of bumping it but this build is very different so I thought i'd open a new thread.
Approximate Purchase Date: next week, maybe tomorrow
Budget Range: £400
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS, case, HDD and disk drive
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: ebuyer
Country: UK
Parts Preferences: No preferance
Overclocking: Yes - but way ahead in the future
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe, but I think i'd need a better PSU first
Monitor Resolution: 1650x1050
Additional Comments: This is what I have so far, it reaches the absolute zenith of my budget:
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-Z68P-DS3 Z68
CPU Intel Core i5 2500K 3.3GHz
GPU PowerColor HD 6850 1GB
RAM Crucial 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3
PSU OCZ Stealth Xstream II 500W PSU - 3x SATA 1x PCI-E
Thoughts? My main concern is the PSU, I don't intent to crossfire with it but it should last until If i decide to, right? Overall I think this is the best I can get for my money but i'd love to here your thoughts before I buy.
Edit: I'll be using this case, would everything fit ok?
