Hey guys,
I have been researching parts for my very first gaming build for some months now so even though it is my very first build I'd like to think I am not totally illiterate when it comes to Components and the like.
Below is the form you have to fill out, any suggestions are welcomed with open arms and if I need anything (at all) please let me know.
Approximate Purchase Date: The first week of January (hopefully gonna hit some sales)
Budget Range: £1250 (although if necessary I could propably stretch to £1300)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Programming, General Surfing of the web.
Parts Not Required: Absolutely everyting is needed due to this being my very first build (even Hard Drive although it is very painful right now...)
Preferred Website for Parts: www.ebuyer.com (preferably all from the same site)
Country: United Kingdom
Parts Preferences: I'd prefer intel and Nvidia although they are not totally necessary
Overclocking: Yes (probably not straight away but definetely in the future)
SLI or Crossfire: Yes (again not straight away but in the future)
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: I would like it to run most of the latest DX11 titles at High settings obviously I cannot hope for ultra on every single one, I would also like a Headset also. Also, to those americans out there don't be afraid to offer up any opinions just because I am British .
