£800 Gaming build - Some advice would be helpful!
Demons Wrath replied to Zengo2's topic in New Builds and Planning
I'd recommend this instead PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor (£184.66 @ Ebuyer) CPU Cooler: Zalman CNPS10X OPTIMA CPU Cooler (£16.45 @ CCL Computers) Motherboard: MSI Z97 PC MATE ATX LGA1150 Motherboard (£62.36 @ Scan.co.uk) Memory: Mushkin Blackline 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (£47.94 @ Aria PC) Storage: OCZ ARC 100 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (£44.98 @ Amazon UK) Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£38.34 @ Aria PC) Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 285 2GB Video Card (£131.14 @ Scan.co.uk) Case: Zalman Z3 Plus White ATX Mid Tower Case (£28.30 @ CCL Computers) Power Supply: XFX 750W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply (£67.82 @ Dabs) Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (OEM) (64-bit) (£76.74 @ Aria PC) Monitor: LG 22MP55HQ-P 60Hz 22.0" Monitor (£104.42 @ Amazon UK) Keyboard: Cooler Master CM Storm Devastator Gaming Bundle Wired Gaming Keyboard w/Optical Mouse (£26.28 @ Ebuyer) Total: £829.43 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2015-05-05 09:09 BST+0100 -
If you don't ever want more than 1 GPU, then get an mATX or mITX system. No point it being huge if it doesn't need to be.

Planning on building a rig for gaming/streaming

About to buy all my parts (check for me)
Demons Wrath replied to NewGUYgamer's topic in New Builds and Planning
Half the things in that list are overly expensive or just silly. That PSU is not that good, the mobo is too expensive, and you're wasting a load of cash on cables? This is silly. -
AMD build or Intel G32? Still need some help.

If you want a 2nd 970, grab one of these short form factor ones http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-video-card-gvn970ixoc4gd Also if you can find that Acer monitor which hasn't got the price attached to it, then you should get that instead. Almost identical specs to the ROG Swift, but IPS instead of TN. Very sexy. If not, then I suppose the Swift will have to do.

Egypt Nefsak Souq e3050 Quality Data Systems Found this list that might help you find better prices. If this is going to be a pure gaming PC, then you should look for: i5 4690k, decent Z97 board with SLI compatibility, nice 120mm tower cooler (Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo is common), GTX 970, decent 750w psu for future SLI capability, 8gb of Ram (2x4gb), nice case with good airflow (Corsair 230T maybe), 120gb or 240gb ssd (Crucial is nice for the price, as is the new OCZ stuff), 1TB or 2TB hdd for mass storage.

That case was crazy expensive, so I changed it for something perfectly good. Don't need a fan controller because there are enough headers on the better mobo, and the case itself comes with a fan controller for 2 (case comes with 4 fans out of the box so no need for more). SLI capabilities and an unlocked i7 for overclocking goodness. Good stuff. -

If this is going to be a pure gaming machine, I'd say go Intel. If you plan on other things, the AMD is hard to beat for value.- 7 replies

Help for 1000$-1200$ PC build
Demons Wrath replied to PhilBoisvert's topic in New Builds and Planning
The Kingston Fury is not bad, its around $11 less than the Samsung 850 Evo, but if I could recommend something, it would be a larger capacity SSD. http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/crucial-internal-hard-drive-ct240m500ssd1 http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/crucial-internal-hard-drive-ct250bx100ssd1 or if you're feeling frisky, a pair of 120gb's in RAID 0 http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/sandisk-internal-hard-drive-sdssdp128gg25
