Community,
I am going to University in September and i would like a new Gaming orientated PC for when i go. I do not often boot my PC (only for updates) so the SSD cashing does not appeal. I may go SLI in the future when the chosen 560Ti starts to strain. Finally, in the future i may use 2 monitors however the second would not be for gaming.
Approximate Purchase Date: Before the end of the week
Budget Range: ~£800
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Internet, Office tasks
Parts Not Required: mouse, speakers
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: novatech or ebuyer
Country of Origin: United Kingdom
Parts Preferences: Nvidia because of superior driver support.
Overclocking: Yes but not often
SLI or Crossfire: In the future yes but not now
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Processor: Intel Core i5 2500K - £159.98
Motherboard: Asrock Z68 EXTREME4 - £140.45
Memory: G-Skill 8Gb 1600MHz - £64.63
Hard Disk: Samsung Spin Point 1Tb - £40.98
Optical Drive: LiteOn 24x DVD+/-RW - £15.98
Graphics: MSI GTX 560Ti TWIN FROZR - £191.94
Power Supply: XFX Pro 750W - £71.86
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium - £68.15
HeatSink: Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus - £18.98
I have not yet chosen a case yet so i would like to know your opinions on them (maybe Zalman Z9 )
I have also not chosen a monitor (would like 1080P at ~24") or a keyboard (nothing too expensive)
I welcome any feedback on my build and thanks for reading
