i live in the UK and im selling my old rig to a friend so i have some spare money and thought i would put some good money into my new rig rather than the £400 rig i currently have. So im just looking for some suggestions on what i should build.
Games i usually play:
crysis 2/3
battlefield 3/4
batman franchise
planetside 2
payday 2
call of duty from time to time
fallout
metro
and a bunch of other indie games
any help would be appreciated guys
Edit: forgot to mention i already have a 120gb SSD
nah i already have a monitor and stuff i have a spare copy of windows 7 64 bit that i can use and i was hoping to run mostly everything at about max settings
Best I could do quickly: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/Sheepyy_/saved/2FwF
All games max settings as you requested.
Pros:
Very good intel chip that's fairly overclockable
Good CPU Cooler
Very good budget motherboard; has all the things you'll need as well as having very good overclockability for the price (pretty decent overall, won't get any better for the price)
Cheapest good 8GB RAM in the UK atm with haswell chips :L RAM Prices are ridiculous nowadays (had to get something below 1.55V, 1600MHz CAS of 9/10 and have it be dual channel and this was the cheapest, not sure if it'll fit though cause the heat spreaders are obnoxiously big)
Very good and fast SSD
2TB very fast HDD, very cheap in the UK as well for some reason
R9 280x is the best price to performance high-end GPU. Competes with GTX 770/780 in all games (both of which are £100 and £250 more than it)
Budget case. Had to cut costs to fit the R9 280X in there.
Very good quality PSU and it's modular, so no messy wires everywhere :D
Erm... it's an optical drive. I don't think you'd need one but you need to install Win 7 so I had to include it :L.
Will play everything maxed out (might struggle with Crysis 3 on max, but no single GPU can play that game on Max anyway).
thanks a lot man and yeah i might take the optical drive out my current rig just to install windows then remove it :) i really like the stats on this and probably will buy this rig after i have had a snoop around for any deals on parts.
