My Gaming Pc Ideas

[Mushroom2013]

Here is my gaming Pc plan which I have atm http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/HFbddC. Have you got any advise about building the Pc or the actual set up itself?

Why not windows 8?

Also you're getting a 4670k with a non overclocking z97 board????

Why???

[Prodigydeadeye]

No z97/z87 board? Budget? Get a better graphics card. 

[GhostWindGamer]

That should be fine

If you want to overclock, get a Z87/Z97 board instead of the H87.

If you don't want to overclock, get a Xeon E3-1230v3 instead of the 4670K.

 

Also, EVGA 500B over CX500

4690, no k, you dont have a z board.

i'd suggest another case.

Why not windows 8?

From what I've heard windows 8 isn't that good - and has a whole appy feel which I don't like.

That is fixed by installing a start menu app such as startisback it disables all the app crap if you want it to.

win 8 also has the original win7 layout aswell.

 

Also the case isnt good and you are getting the wrong mobo.

I would still change the case, that zalman stuff is pretty shit

[Rheinwasser]

only gaming? i will do a build for you, one second.

[Mushroom2013]

Also the case isnt good 

What case would you suggest?

[loccilucas]

What case would you suggest?

I always say the case is opinion. basically anything metal, from a decent company and affordable. otherwise pick whatever you like the look off.

 

I have the NZXT phantom 410 because I think it looks pretty cool and its also a great case. All the metal is quite cheap and its also pretty cheap

Well 8.1 is a lot better. Its faster, looks nicer, and mostly works better. It just comes down to personal preference.
